The 2020 Hyundai Kona: 5 Important Features and Specs

If you’re looking to get the maximum value out of a Sports Utility Vehicle you will want to check out the 2020 Hyundai Kona. With a starting MSRP of just $20,300 and up to 33 miles per gallon, you’re getting the most out of every dollar. New to this year’s model are updates to the display and available adaptive cruise control.

Customizable Performance

The basic Kona has a 147 horsepower 4 cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. But if you want to go a little faster consider upgrading to the 175 horsepower turbocharged engine, which gets you from 0-60 miles per hour in just 6.6 seconds. It is also quite nimble with a smooth, consistent ride over all terrains.

Connectivity

The Kona has one feature you don’t see in many cars: a Heads Up Display which appears in a pop-up panel just in front of the windshield. It will display speed, navigation, cruise control, and other info without having to look down at your wheel or touchscreen. The Blue Link Connected Car Service app will let you remotely lock, unlock, control temperature, and start your car remotely. It goes the extra mile with defrosters for the windshields and mirrors; you can even set the seat temperature just the way you like it from the comfort of your house.

There is a base 7.0-inch touchscreen with some models, and some of the more advanced models feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen. You can use this to connect to Apple Carplay, Android Auto, or navigation with real-time traffic updates.

Safety

The Kona features a smorgasbord of driver assistance features, including front and rear collision detection with automatic braking. The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Warning System lets you know about passing cars while backing up, and the lane-keeping assist feature will warn you if you are starting to swerve out of your lane. It will let you know about cars in your blind stop, while the high beam assists automatically turns the high beams on or off depending on if there are oncoming cars.

All these features earned the Kona a top safety pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway safety for 2020 and a perfect five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Warranty

As with all Hyundai vehicles, the Kona comes with an extensive warranty. This includes a 10-year powertrain warranty good for 100,000 miles, complimentary maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, a limited warranty good for 5 years or 60,000 miles, and 5 years of roadside assistance.

Luxurious Interior

The Kona’s interior is spacious and well designed and comes in a variety of trims. It features ergonomic seating, and up to 45.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded down.
