The new Hyundai Kona: A compact crossover that's just the right size for greater Portland area driver's needs

Here at our Hillsboro, OR Hyundai dealership, the selection of new Hyundai SUVs and crossovers has grown significantly over the last few years. And while it's hard to do justice to all the major changes and updates that have come to the lineup, we'd be remiss if we didn't touch upon one of the most impactful models to be added in recent memory: the Hyundai Kona.

Design

The Hyundai Kona is a compact crossover SUV that clocks in at the smaller end of the Hyundai SUV portfolio. That said, the Hyundai design team has worked wonders with this car's small stature, outfitting it with sporty body cladded, dynamic character lines, and a confidently athletic look to its front end. Plus, given its size, the Hyundai Kona great for Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area drivers who frequently find themselves searching for streetside parking on crowded thoroughfares.

Performance

While the new Hyundai Kona is by no means the strongest crossover in the Hyundai lineup in terms of raw horsepower, its performance is nonetheless one of its strongest selling points. Striking a pitch-perfect balance between fuel efficiency and direct power delivery, the Hyundai Kona is a more than capable day-to-day driver, returning up to an EPA-estimated 27 mpg city / 33 mpg highway when properly equipped. Plus, the Hyundai Kona comes available with all-wheel drive and multi-link rear suspension, so it's actually a lot more capable than other compact crossover when the roads get a little more rugged.

Features & Amenities

Even though it may seem small on the outside, the interior of the new Hyundai Kona is pleasantly roomy for up to five passengers, appointed with plenty of high-quality materials, and most importantly, packed with useful features that drivers from Hillsboro to Beaverton will love. From an available head-up driver information display to wireless charging for compatible mobile phones, the Hyundai Kona seems to get all the little details right. Plus, those chilly mornings will be a lot more pleasant for you with its available heated front seating.
