Hyundai further developed the experience elements in the all-new Kona to embrace a wider range of lifestyles in a flexible and modular living space. The upscaled multiplayer provides a wide and open layout for increased passenger comfort and easy cargo storage.
The flexible and EV-like basic structure, coupled with a driver-centric architecture, emphasises the simplicity and spaciously wide interior.
The all-new Kona also features curve-less bench seats in the rear row to offer a different experience, maximum indoor usability, and convenience to prevent waste.
The addition of mélange fabric softens the high-tech interior and completes the functional yet cosy atmosphere. Furthering the indoor experience, the extended sunroof can be opened to give the interior an even more open feel.
The all-new Kona also provides the best-in-class space with 60 mm longer wheelbase length, 77 mm longer leg room and 11 mm higher headroom in the second-row seats, compared to the previous generation. The second-row shoulder room is 1,402 mm, also the largest in its class, providing the best habitability in ‘living space’ for passengers. Kona’s slim first-row relaxation seats, which are only 85 mm thick, also add more living space for second-row passengers.
In addition, the column-mounted shift-by-wire gear selector set behind the steering wheel allows more space for an open, clean console structure that can be used for cup holders or storage for big bags.
The rear boot space has been improved by 30 per cent to 466 litres to ensure best in class capacity.
The 40:20:40 folding rear seats provide better loading capacity and modularity, and when fully folded capacity increases to 1,300 litres.
