Price and specifications Hyundai Kona 2023

Got a new Hyundai Kona in Australia.

The new Kona will be more expensive than its predecessor in the lowest segment. But it does bring new technology, a new hybrid option and more interior space.

Four trim levels will be offered, two of which can be selected with three engines. The hybrid power feature first appeared on Kona locally, with an electric version also on the way.

The petrol-only Kona line will launch in the coming months; 2.0-liter models without the N Line Package or 1.6-liter turbocharged models have arrived, with the 2.0-liter N Line models due in the third quarter of 2023.

Hybrid will launch in Q4 of 2023, so will Kona Electric.
