Vehicle Overview

2018 Hyundai Kona Elite Auto AWD MY18.

This 2018 Hyundai Kona Elite combines compact SUV practicality with a more engaging powertrain than its city-friendly dimensions might suggest. Its 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine produces 130kW and 265Nm, giving the Kona useful response for merging, overtaking and hilly urban driving. Power is delivered through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an on-demand four-wheel-drive system, providing added traction when conditions demand it while retaining the everyday accessibility expected of a small SUV.

The Elite grade gives this Kona a well-resolved cabin with a strong emphasis on connectivity and convenience. Leather-appointed seating adds a more considered feel to the interior, while the 8-inch touchscreen brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into easy reach. Satellite navigation, Bluetooth and the premium eight-speaker Kicker audio system broaden its usefulness for commuting and longer trips. Keyless entry and push-button starting further reduce the small daily inconveniences of regular driving.

With five seats and SUV packaging, the Kona offers a practical balance between an approachable footprint and flexible passenger space. Its elevated driving position helps provide a clear view in busy surroundings, while the reverse camera supports easier manoeuvring in tighter spaces. The compact exterior dimensions should also make it straightforward to place on urban streets and in car parks.

Safety equipment is a notable part of the specification. Autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and lane-keep assist provide additional driver support across a range of everyday situations. Traction control, cruise control and the vehicle’s five-star ANCAP rating add to its broad set of active and passive safety credentials.

Distinctive styling separates the Kona from more conventional compact SUVs. The dual-tier LED headlight design, contrasting body cladding and alloy wheels give it a visually confident appearance, while the Elite’s all-wheel-drive hardware and multi-link rear suspension are intended to support secure handling and a composed ride. The combination of turbocharged performance, useful equipment and compact SUV versatility makes this Kona a balanced proposition for drivers seeking more capability and personality than a basic small hatchback.
