2026 Hyundai Kona Premium Auto 2WD MY26.

The 2026 Hyundai Kona Premium presents a well-equipped take on the compact SUV formula, combining a city-friendly footprint with the higher seating position and everyday flexibility expected from a modern small SUV. Finished in Ultimate Red with an Obsidian Black interior, this new Kona has travelled just 8 km and is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with a continuously variable transmission.

Its front-wheel-drive layout and compact dimensions make the Kona straightforward to place in urban traffic and parking spaces, while the five-door body provides useful access for passengers and cargo. The cabin accommodates five occupants, and the boot offers 407 litres of space in its standard configuration, expanding to a maximum 1,241 litres when greater carrying capacity is required. That balance gives the Kona practical scope for regular shopping, luggage and general day-to-day duties without moving into a larger, less manageable vehicle class.

The Premium grade adds a strong emphasis on cabin comfort. Leather seats, heated front seats, electric seat adjustment and adjustable lumbar support are listed among the equipment, creating a more accommodating environment for longer drives. A heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control further support year-round comfort, while the electric sunroof with power blind brings extra light into the cabin when desired. Hands-free boot access, proximity key entry and push-button starting add convenience to routine loading and driving.

Technology is similarly comprehensive. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide familiar smartphone integration, complemented by wireless device charging, GPS navigation, digital radio and an eight-speaker audio system. A digital instrument cluster keeps key information readily visible, while voice recognition and a connected smartphone application extend the vehicle's interface beyond the cabin. Remote parking assistance, graphical parking guidance and rain-sensing wipers are also listed, helping reduce effort in tight spaces and changing conditions.

The Kona's safety equipment is designed to assist with both awareness and accident avoidance. The listed systems include a reversing camera, parking sensors, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and active blind-spot assistance. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, rear and front cross-traffic alerts, reverse collision mitigation and safe-exit warning provide additional support around the vehicle. High-beam assistance, electronic stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring and seven airbags add further layers of protection.

Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces 110 kW and 180 Nm. The continuously variable transmission is intended to keep the power delivery smooth, while selectable drive modes, active traction control, hill-start assistance, hill-descent control and paddle shifters provide additional control for varied road conditions. Listed combined fuel consumption is 6.6 L/100 km, with a 47-litre fuel tank and a stated fuel range of approximately 712 km based on the published average-distance figure.
