Hyundai is known for building high-quality automobiles at a reasonable price point, and the KONA is a subcompact SUV that continues that legacy of affordable excellence. With agile speed, a versatile interior, and great safety features, there are many reasons to love the 2025 Hyundai KONA‘s personality and power.
The 2025 Hyundai KONA Brings Personality and Power
Power to Perform Under a Variety of Conditions
At the heart of the KONA’s SE and SEL trim levels is Hyundai’s excellent, efficient 2.0-liter, naturally-aspirated MPI-Atkinson 4-cylinder engine. Known for its efficiency, it generates 147 horsepower and 132 foot-pounds of torque when paired with an intelligent variable transmission and the standard FWD or optional HTRAC AWD drivetrain. It offers performance without sacrificing power, as the SE trim gets 29 MPG in the city and 34 on the highway.
The upper three trims, known as the N Line S, N Line, and Limited, incorporate an innovative 1.6-liter Turbo-GDI DOHC 4-cylinder engine that is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is available with FWD or the HTRAC AWD. The turbocharged engine produces 190 horsepower and 195 foot-pounds of torque while maintaining fuel efficiency of 26 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the open road.
Versatile Interior and Exterior Design with Plenty of Personality
The KONA stands out from other subcompact SUVs because of the flair and personality engineered into its interior and exterior. With a versatile interior that seats up to five adults comfortably, the KONA offers a total of 101.2 cubic feet of passenger volume and 25.5 cubic feet of dedicated storage space behind the rear seat. When more cargo space is desired, simply fold down the rear seat to free up a total of 63.7 cubic feet of available payload volume.
With its futuristic styling, modern, slim lighting, and a sporty stance, the KONA stands out from the subcompact SUV crowd. The 2025 model is slightly longer and wider than the previous KONA model, and upper trim levels carry distinctive body-color cladding, 19-inch alloy wheels, black side mirrors, and dual exhaust tips for an upscale look.
Loaded with Standard Safety, Driver Assistance, and Infotainment Technology
The lineup of standard infotainment, driver assistance, and safety features in the KONA would be considered add-on options in competing SUVs. It has features such as blind spot collision avoidance, forward and rear collision avoidance assist technology, lane keeping assist, high beam assist, lane following assist, safe exit warning, driver attention warning, electronic stability control, vehicle stability management, and bodyside reinforcements.
The infotainment and connectivity features that come standard in the KONA include a 12.3-inch color touchscreen, HD radio, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the Bluelink connected car system, Bluetooth hands-free streaming, and a 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster.
The KONA packs a tremendous amount of value into a well-designed, responsive subcompact SUV package loaded with power and personality. Contact Terry Reid Hyundai in Cartersville, GA, today to see the KONA in person and take one for a test drive.
