Hyundai’s New Kona Is an Electric Head-Turner
Larger than before, the new Kona features a sharp design inspired by Hyundai’s Ioniq electric vehicles and a visor-like fascia that accentuates its increased width.
Hyundai’s second-generation Kona debuts this week in gasoline, hybrid and battery-electric powered versions.

The additonal width is accentuated by the visor-like front and rear LED light signatures that stretch the entire width of the SUV.

The longer wheelbase makes way for additional second-row legroom and a slightly larger 65.4 kWh battery pack.

With improved aerodynamic and a bigger reserve, the new Kona Electric should see a range improvement despite its larger footprint.

The illusion of widebody fenders is created by undercuts into the body above the wheel arches.
