This is a Motormouth couple car review of the new 2022 Hyundai Kona small SUV. What’s new for 2022? The exterior of the Kona is sharper and sleeker with new wheel designs, a bolder grille, new front and rear styling, increased cargo space and rear seat legroom. The N Line model we are test driving looks sportier than ever with body colour cladding, an N Line front bumper fascia and grille, as well as, 18” alloy wheels. The base Kona engine is a 2L 4-cylinder matched with a CVT, gone is the 6-speed automatic transmission. It has 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. Optional FWD and AWD. We are testing the N Line with a turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine, a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, 195 horsepower up from 175 and 195 lb-feet of torque. It has standard AWD in Canada with independent rear suspension and FWD gets solid rear axle suspension. In the US, you can add AWD for $1,500 USD and $2,000 CAD. For 2022, the 1.6L turbocharged engine is only available on the N Line model, which is a change from 2021. This engine was an option on more trims last year. The N Line comes with plenty of standard features but to get LED headlights, LED taillights and a sunroof, you’ll have to add the Ultimate package for $5,600 CAD or Tech package for $2,500 USD. The Kona gets a redesigned dashboard giving it a more modern look. It now has a bigger standard touchscreen going from 7 to 8 inches with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. An optional 10.25 “ digital driver display, a 10.25” touchscreen, wireless charger, an electronic parking brake are now available for 2022 as well as, more cargo space and second row legroom. The new N Line trim we’re testing comes with black seats with red stitching, a black headliner, metal pedals, N logo on the seats, steering wheel and shifter giving it a sporty look. To get a lot of the extra features on the N Line trim, you have to add the Ultimate Package for $5,600 CAD or Tech Package for $2,500 USD. That’s where you’ll find the 10.25” touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto a head-up display, leatherette seating surfaces with red stitching, wireless charging pad, head-up display, ventilated front seats, electronic parking brake, a 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system and highway driving assist. That brings you to $33,699 CAD /$28,200 USD. Add another $1,500 USD to the price if you want AWD in the US, it’s standard in Canada on the N Line trim.
