For over 50 years, Hyundai has been challenging and redefining cars and the technology inside of them. This rings true with the new 2022 Hyundai Kona and its revolutionary technology. Don’t just take our word for it; check out these six unique features of the new Kona.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop and Go
Cruise control has made it even easier to drive with the new Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go. Once you’ve set the speed limit of your choice, the car will use its radar to keep a reasonable distance from the vehicle in front of you. When the vehicle in front stops, the Kona will as well, and it will continue at your preset speed if the car in front moves within three seconds.
Bluelink Connectivity
Stay connected to all things Hyundai with the Kona’s Bluelink Connectivity, complimentary for the first three years. The Hyundai app allows you to control key functions of your car with a few taps on your phone. It will even send you monthly health reports for your Kona and will allow you to schedule any maintenance checks.
Driver Attention Warning
Hyundai has your back, especially when you are tired with the Driver Attention Warning. The DAW system will monitor your driving to detect if you veer into other lanes. If it detects a pattern, the car will notify you with an audible alert and visual notification on the digital instrument cluster.
10.25-inch Fully Digital Instrument Cluster
Hyundai has equipped the new Hyundai Kona with a Fully Digital Instrumental Cluster that makes driving fun and even more efficient. The digital display provides you with your fuel levels, speed, drive mode, and navigation. It will even provide you with your fuel efficiency to make sure you’re maximizing your mileage.
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
No more forgetting your groceries or other essential items in your back seat, thanks to the Rear Occupant Alert. The system uses a sensor to detect movement in your backseat. If it detects anything, or anyone, in your backseat once you turn off the engine, it will send a visual notification to your digital instrument cluster. If you miss that alert, it will even honk your horn and flash your lights.
Safe Exit Warning (SEW)
Exiting your car on busy streets is made safer with the Safe Exit Warning. The system will detect any nearby vehicles driving by, and it will send a visual and auditory alert. If you have the child safety lock on, it won’t let you remove the lock until the car has driven by.
The new Kona model makes driving fun and efficient for all. Hyundai has raised the bar for sports utility vehicles with its technological upgrades and design updates. While these are some of our favorite features, it doesn’t begin to cover them all. If you love these features as much as we do, come down to Crain Hyundai of Bentonville to try the Kona out for yourself.
