Hyundai launches the all-new Kona Hybrid

Some years ago, it was nearly impossible not to see a Hyundai Kona on the roads.

The Hyundai Kona first made its debut in the Philippines in 2018. Named after the Kona district on the Big Island of Hawaii, it was chosen to reflect the lifestyle of modern customers and its progressive design. Not surprisingly, its youthful style and unique design earned it numerous awards globally, and its mass appeal is evident in the number of cars on the road.

Newer models like the Creta and Stargazer may have taken attention away from the Kona for some time, but now it has returned, sporting updated progressive styling and offering even more practicality. The Kona's return is timely as it coincides with Hyundai's third anniversary.

Making a comeback

The second-generation Kona is built for the passion-driven. While it retains its reputable character in supporting the active lifestyle of consumers, the all-new model comes with new features and conveniences.
