Hyundai Kona Prices and Specifications

S models make do with an LCD infotainment screen that looks basic and lacks the features fitted to other cars. If you don’t mind that though, they look reasonably smart on the outside thanks to 16-inch alloy wheels, body-colored bumpers, LED tail lights and a boot spoiler. Equipment includes front and rear electric windows, cruise control, air-conditioning, a Bluetooth phone connection and a DAB digital radio.

SE cars look sportier than the entry-level models thanks to their larger 17-inch alloy wheels, roof bars and fog lamps. More importantly they have a proper colour infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can use your phone’s navigation app on the car’s big screen. On top of that, you get a very handy reversing camera and electric lumbar support for the driver’s seat to avoid back ache on long drives. Everything else is carried over from the S model and includes front and rear electric windows, cruise control and air-conditioning.

Premium models are easy to spot thanks to their large 18-inch alloy wheels, chrome grille surrounds and off-road-style body mouldings. Inside, they get Hyundai’s top-of-the-range eight-inch infotainment screen with built-in satellite navigation on top of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Premium models get the same kit as SEs – such as a handy reversing camera and electric lumbar support for the driver’s seat – and add keyless entry and a Krell sound system that’s punchier than the basic unit.

Thanks to their 18-inch alloy wheels, off-road body cladding and chrome grille, Premium SE models look like Premium cars, but inside you get additional kit such as leather seats that are heated and cooled, a heated steering wheel and front parking sensors. They’re also the first model to get Hyundai’s head-up display that projects information such as speed and sat-nav directions into your eyeline. Everything else is carried over from Premium models including keyless entry, a Krell sound system and an eight-inch sat-nav screen.

Premium GT trim is only available with the powerful 177hp 1.6-litre petrol engine and four-wheel drive. They come with automatic emergency braking as standard and also get kit such as full LED headlamps that dip automatically and a 4.2-inch LCD screen in the instrument binnacle. Everything else is carried over from the Premium SE model including keyless entry, a Krell sound system and an eight-inch sat-nav screen.

The Hyundai Kona Iron Man Edition lives up to its name, with aesthetics modelled after Marvel Comics' steely protagonist. Themed decals are everywhere, inside and out, and include a Marvel stamp on the bonnet and an Iron Man door spotlight. The trim also has 18-inch wheels and an 8.0-inch infotainment system with built-in satnav.
