2022 Hyundai Kona - The Breakdown
2022 Hyundai Kona - Overview & Trims
The 2022 Hyundai Kona’s bold and refreshed new look, along with a choice of two engines, the latest tech and convenience features, and available AWD (all-wheel drive) make it the small SUV that has it all!
The 2022 Hyundai Kona is offered in three trim levels, SE, SEL and Limited. All-wheel drive is available in all trim levels.
New look for 2022
In the front, the Kona’s longer, stretched hood comes with sporty character lines and bold, protective lower cladding. The Hyundai logo now sits above the revamped cascading grille, rather than on it, which gives the Kona a wider visual stance.
Overall, the 2022 Hyundai Kona gained 1.6 inches in length for a total length of 165.6 inches and rear legroom increased by 0.6 inches to 35.2 inches. These are the only dimensions that changed from last model year. The added length gives 2022 Kona owners increased rear cargo space and improved second-row legroom.
The 2022 Kona’s new increased length also gives it a more proportional and dynamic profile. The bolstered body cladding seamlessly flows into the front and rear bumpers. The unique wheel design stands out on the 18-inch machine finished alloy wheels for the profile’s finishing touch.
At the back, the 2022 Kona’s rear fascia with lower cladding carries over the protective look from the front. The LED taillight design features horizontally-stretched graphics and the rear turn signals and reverse lamps are integrated into the rear fascia.
2022 Hyundai Kona - Updated Interior
Inside, the 2022 Hyundai Kona sees changes, too, and the sophistication from the exterior carries over inside the small crossover SUV. The center stack console was redesigned so that it cascades downward like a waterfall, giving the interior a more horizontal, wider and spacious appearance.
The modern design offers available convenience features such as an electronic parking brake, new ambient lighting for the cup holder and foot wells, and USB-port access for second-row passengers.
