Two Engine Choices for Fuel-Efficient Driving

The 2023 Hyundai Kona specs include two engine choices. The standard engine in the SE and SEL trim is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It comes with front-wheel drive and delivers an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 30/35 MPG. The base engine comes with an Intelligent Variable Automatic Transmission. All-wheel drive is available on all trims.

The second engine is standard in the N-Line and Limited trims. Drivers get a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with turbocharging. This engine delivers 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Drivers looking for a fun-to-drive subcompact SUV with extra pep will enjoy the turbocharged engine, especially with the 7-Speed EcoShift Dual-Clutch Transmission. The turbocharged engine has an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 29/35 MPG when outfitted with front-wheel drive.

Exceptional Collection of Safety Features

All trims have the Hyundai SmartSense suite of safety features. The standard collection includes Forward Collision Warning, Forward Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Driver-Attention Monitoring, and a Rearview Camera.

While the SE, SEL, and N-Line trims have an impressive collection of safety features, Hyundai outfits the Limited trim with even more. Drivers who choose the top trim get Stop-and-Go Adaptive Cruise Control, High-Beam Assist, Cyclist Detection, Rear Parking Sensors, Lane Centering Assist, and Vehicle Exit Warning.

User-Friendly Infotainment and Convenience Technology

Hyundai equips the 2023 Kona SE with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, three USB ports, and six speakers. Convenience technology includes remote keyless entry.

The SEL trim has the same infotainment system, but with HD Radio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and the Hyundai Blue Link telematics system. Drivers get proximity keyless entry and a push-button start. The automaker also offers the available Convenience package for the SEL trim. This package adds a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Navigation, voice recognition, and wireless device charging.

The N-Line includes the SEL Convenience technology package. It also has a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster. The Limited trim has the same technology as the N-Line but adds an eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. It also has an auto-dimming rearview mirror and multi-color ambient LED lighting.

Sporty Styling Stands Out From the Crowd

Hyundai has seating for five, and the base model comes with cloth seats and 16-inch alloy wheels. The subcompact SUV has 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are upright, and the cargo area increases to 45.8 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. The SEL also has cloth upholstery and the driver’s seat has eight-way power adjustability. The SEL trim’s alloy wheels measure 17 inches.

The N-Line styling stands apart from the rest. This sporty trim includes special front and rear fascia, an N-Line shift knob, aluminum alloy pedals, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with the N logo at the bottom, 18-inch alloy wheels, and dual-tip exhaust.

Hyundai removes the N-Line styling on the Limited trim but adds leather-trimmed seats, LED headlights and taillights.

The Kona is also available in two special editions: the Kona N and Kona EV. The N model has the turbocharged engine tuned to deliver 276 horsepower. It has suede upholstery with most of the N-Line styling and Limited tech features. The 2023 Kona EV has a 150-kW electric motor with a 64-kWh battery pack that delivers 201 horsepower and approximately 258 miles of range on a full charge.
