Hyundai Kona SUV – Decidedly Different!
Edgier than a car and cooler than any Crossover, this is the all new, always vibrant Hyundai Kona SUV! Now is your chance to discover a vehicle that dares you to be different and exudes confidence and fun by the bucketload. In fact, this SUV is so packed full of personality that it has to be experienced to be believed. From its vibrant colours and premium styling, to its next generation safety features and advanced convenience technology – this is a SUV that does not just break the mold, it redefines it entirely!
Slightly smaller in size than the Creta, but with a BIG presence that makes people sit up and notice, the Hyundai Kona offers futuristic exterior stylings that start with its lit-eyed headlamps and end with its ever so distinctive rear-end. Inbetween is a body shape that is unlike anything Hyundai has done before, and this is undoubtedly one of the Kona’s most distinctive features as its sleek roof accentuates the trendy party vibe that is very much part of the DNA of this exciting Hyundai Kona SUV.
Fun to drive, safe to be in! This is the future of Hyundai, so book a test drive of the Kona today and take your driving experience to the next level.

Hyundai Kona Engine Specs
Built to provide the perfect blend of performance and economy, both of the engines available for the Hyundai Krona derivatives released in South Africa are as reliable as ever.

Hyundai Kona South African Review
We were lucky enough to be one of the first Hyundai Dealerships to receive the Kona, and we decided to put it to the test. Of course we are avowed Hyundai fans, but that does not take away from the fact that anybody who sets eyes on the Kona will be taken in by its futuristic style. In fact, we’d even go as far as saying that we’ve never seen something quite like it in South Africa before. Although SUV’s are well-known for their personality, the New Hyundai Kona takes this to another level. Ok, so now that we’ve sung its praises in general let’s get down to the nitty gritty.
The Kona is a Looker!
If you don’t want to be the centre of attention then this is the wrong vehicle for you! Everywhere we went people stopped to stare at the funky good looks and outstanding stylings that make up the Kona’s exterior looks. The attention to detail of the vehicle’s exterior by designer Luc Donckerwolke is out of this world and we don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like it in a Hyundai or any other vehicle in South Africa. But for all of this, the Kona is still an SUV, so these good looks are underlined by a sporty yet slightly eccentric aggressiveness that would look as good in Camps bay as it does in Durbanville. This is a middle-class car with upper-class asspirations and this good looking vehicle is not afraid to show it.
Hyundai Kona Fuel Consumption Figures*
The Hyundai Kona, as with other Hyundai vehicles, is renowned for the economical nature of its engines. They are also both exceptionally eco friendly, as the emissions figures** below will testify to.

If you’re green friendly but would still like to own a SUV, then you’ll want to consider a Hyundai Kona that boasts these eco friendly carbon emission figures:
| Engine | CO2 Emissions |
|---|---|
| 1.0-litre TGDI | 138g per km** |
