2022 Hyundai Kona – An SUV Dream

Hyundai Kona Overview

Once in a while you end up driving an SUV that delivers such a smooth, crisp ride, you forget that you are in an SUV. Expect that from the 2022 Hyundai Kona. To put it simply, the subcompact Kona is a great package that combines style, the feel of a car, and sensibility all while providing an elevated driving position you would expect from a SUV. Hyundai is known for providing a lot of features as standard features and the Kona is no exception. The higher trim levels come with even more features to keep your Hyundai SUV safe, connected, & comfortable. Because the Hyundai Kona is a subcompact SUV, it won’t have as much cargo space as a full-sized SUV. But what this vehicle lacks in space, it has more than made up for with it’s drivability and technology. Let’s dive into the details of this latest offering from Hyundai.

What’s New On The 2022 Kona

Hyundai has a good reputation for keeping up with the times. This year appears to be no different. Hyundai has given the 2022 Kona a complete makeover both inside and out. The new features will have you ohh and ahh over them.

Exterior Features

The exterior features start with an upgraded front end with stylish wheels to match. Throw in a new wide-mouth grille, a faux front, and updated exterior lights and people will be staring at you while you cruise down the street. As they watch you go by, they will also get to see the new rear skid plates that come standard.

Interior Features

The upgraded interior features are mainly technology focused but there are some comfort and safety improvements. A redesigned dashboard that includes digital display gages makes it easier to read your gages while driving. Prepare to be able to charge your phone wirelessly. A great feature for long road trips. The infotainment touchscreen has also grown to 10.3 inches making it easier to touch apps. Your backseat drivers, I mean passengers, will be pleased as well as the new Kona now has heated rear seats.

Performance Features

When it comes to an engine, how many horses do you want? According to Car & Driver, the SE & SEL Kona models come equipped with an 147-hp, four cylinder engine with a six speed automatic transmission while the Limited and N-Line Kona models come standard with an 195-hp, four cylinder engine with a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. All 2022 Kona models deliver sharp handling on the road making this car really fun to drive. So again my question, how many horses do you want?

Kona Fuel Economy

With gas prices approaching $3.00 a gallon, fuel efficiency is at the top of our minds when we are looking to purchase our next car. The 2022 Hyundai Kona doesn’t disappoint. Depending on model, you can expect an average gas mileage of 32-33 mpg. Within its class, the Kona nearly leads the pack. Just one more way that Hyundai is not only trying to help the consumer save money on post-purchase costs, but helping to reduce the carbon footprint we leave as well.

Safety Features On The Hyundai Kona

Driver’s assistance features are all the rage and why not? Who doesn’t want to be safer and better protect ourselves from distraction. The new Kona comes standard with lane-keeping assist, emergency braking, and a driver-attention monitor. Additional safety features are available but optional. You can get a full report on all the safety features, from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IHSS), here.

The Hyundai Warranty
