Mk2 Kona readied for launch
Auto Express
|September 14, 2022
EXCLUSIVE Improved practicality and a better range for the EV version of Hyundai's compact SUV, on sale in early 2023
SUCH is the of in the compact SUV world that we're never far away from a fresh debut - and the next car to take aim at the top of its class will be the second-generation Hyundai Kona.
Auto Express understands that the compact SUV will break cover early next year, and development prototypes are already being tested around the world.
As with sister brand Kia's Niro family, it's likely that the upcoming Kona will move to the Hyundai Motor Group's latest K3 platform, and deliver greater practicality.
Full-hybrid and all-electric models are expected to be offered, with the Kona HEV set to use a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.32kWh battery that supplies an electric motor. Combined, these should produce 139bhp.
