2024 Hyundai Kona: What To Expect?

Recently, some fresh Hyundai Kona images have surfaced online, and we're here to spill the beans. While the Korean carmaker had spilt the beans on powertrain and production details earlier this year, these are the US-spec model pics that have got everyone talking.

Up front, you'll notice a longer and somewhat boxier design, giving it a touch of resemblance to the Creta. Interestingly, the charging port has found a spot at the front, which might strike some as unconventional. The headlights have undergone a split headlamp transformation, with a continuous LED daytime running light stretching across the front and back. Design-wise, the Kona draws inspiration from the parametric design theme of the Ioniq 5, evident in the side profile's creases and sculpted wheel arches. it features active grill shutters that can be closed to aid in cooling the battery when necessary.
