If you want standard features that feel anything but “standard,” the base SE trim sets an impressively high bar right out of the gate. Powered by an efficient 147-hp 2.0L MPI 4-cylinder engine, it strikes a great balance between spirited driving and fuel efficiency—delivering up to an EPA-estimated 29 City/34 Hwy/31 Combined MPG in FWD, or 27 City/29 Hwy/28 Combined MPG when equipped with AWD for added all-weather confidence. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen display featuring wireless smartphone integration, so your favorite apps and navigation connect seamlessly without cluttering the cabin with cords. Convenience comes built-in thanks to Proximity Key Entry with Push Button Start and Remote Start, allowing you to warm up or cool down the vehicle before you even step outside. Plus, highway drives and commuting are easier than ever with Smart Cruise Control (SCC) featuring Stop & Go, making the entry-level SE an exceptional value for savvy drivers.

If you are looking for a compact SUV that adds a sharp, energetic look to your daily drive, the SEL Sport trim strikes the ideal balance between bold styling and upgraded comfort. Under the hood, it keeps the dependable 147-hp 2.0L MPI 4-cylinder engine, but it steps up the exterior athletic stance with striking 18-inch alloy wheels, gloss black mirror covers, and a matching rear spoiler that give it a sleek, custom appearance. The upgrades carry over into the cabin, too—you can say goodbye to tangled cords thanks to the built-in wireless device charging pad, while dual automatic temperature control ensures both you and your front passenger can set your own perfect climate zones. It’s the ideal trim for drivers who want everyday practicality wrapped in a modern, head-turning package.

For drivers who want an extra dose of excitement behind the wheel alongside refined upscale touches, the SEL Premium trim delivers a serious upgrade in both performance and luxury. The standout feature is under the hood: a punchy 190-hp 1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine that provides energetic acceleration, perfectly complemented by stylish 19-inch alloy wheels for a confident, grounded stance on the road. Inside, the cabin gets a sophisticated makeover with soft H-Tex trimmed seats and customizable ambient interior lighting that creates a relaxing mood for evening drives. Long trips and daily commutes also become effortlessly comfortable thanks to a power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, making this trim the ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their everyday driving experience.

If you want the top-tier experience with no compromises, the Limited trim packs the Hyundai Kona with maximum power and state-of-the-art tech features. It brings back the spirited 190-hp 1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine for an engaging drive, but elevates convenience and driver assistance to a whole new level. Loading groceries or gear is completely hands-free thanks to the smart liftgate with auto open, while maneuvering in tight spots is practically effortless with the Surround View Monitor (SVM) providing a 360-degree aerial perspective. For added peace of mind on busy highways, the Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) streams a live video feed of your blind spots directly onto your digital instrument cluster whenever you signal a lane change. To top it all off, every journey is accompanied by rich, crystal-clear sound delivered by the Bose Premium Audio system, making the Limited the ultimate choice for tech lovers who want a true high-end crossover.
