2025 Hyundai Kona Premium Auto 2WD MY26

2025 Hyundai Kona Premium.

This new Hyundai Kona Premium presents as a lightly run example of the compact SUV, with just 8 km recorded and a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine driving the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. Its compact footprint is suited to everyday manoeuvrability, while the five-door cabin and five-seat layout provide the flexibility expected of a practical family-sized vehicle.

The Kona’s Premium specification places emphasis on comfort and cabin presentation. Leather-appointed seating, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel add welcome convenience in cooler conditions, while electric seat adjustment, memory functionality and adjustable lumbar support allow the driving position to be tailored more precisely. Dual-zone automatic climate control gives the front occupants independent temperature control, and the electric sunroof with power blind brings extra light into the cabin when desired. Privacy glass and cleaner-cabin-air features further contribute to a more considered interior environment.

Outside, the Ecotronic Grey finish gives the Kona a restrained, contemporary appearance. Practical details such as roof rails, a hands-free boot, power-folding heated mirrors and LED headlights support the vehicle’s day-to-day usability. The 407-litre minimum luggage area expands to a claimed 1,241 litres with the rear seating arrangement configured for carrying larger items, giving the Kona useful versatility without moving into a substantially larger SUV footprint.

Technology is a strong part of the equipment mix. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide familiar smartphone integration, while wireless device charging, USB ports, GPS navigation and digital radio help keep information and entertainment readily accessible. A digital instrument cluster complements the central technology systems, and the premium sound system with eight speakers is intended to make longer journeys more enjoyable. Selectable drive modes and paddle shifters add some flexibility to the way the CVT responds, although the Kona remains oriented toward smooth, straightforward road use rather than outright performance.

The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine produces 110 kW and 180 Nm, with official combined fuel consumption listed at 6.6 L/100 km. Its 47-litre tank gives the vehicle a useful touring range between refuelling stops, subject to driving conditions and usage. Front-wheel drive keeps the mechanical layout simple and helps preserve the Kona’s approachable character for urban and suburban travel.

Driver assistance and safety equipment is extensive on the listed specification. A reversing camera, parking sensors and graphical parking assistance help with low-speed positioning, while adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert support the driver in busier traffic. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, brake assistance, high-beam assistance, tyre-pressure monitoring and safe-exit warning add further layers of awareness. The vehicle is listed with seven airbags and a four-star ANCAP rating from 2023.
