September 30 2021,

The 2022 Hyundai Kona is back with everything that has made the small Hyundai sport utility vehicle successful since it first arrived on the market. The new 2022 Hyundai Kona is perfect for getting around the city, but it is also very spacious and fun to drive with impressive fuel economy. Here are three things to know about the 2022 Hyundai Kona.

It offers a lot of space

The 2022 Hyundai Kona has received significant upgrades this year including new body styling. What hasn’t changed is the Kona’s versatility which is remarkable given the size of the small Hyundai SUV. The Kona offers 544 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, and nearly 1,300 litres when the rear seats are folded down. The front seats offer plenty of head room, and kids and teens will be comfortable in the back.

If you are looking for a versatile SUV for your young family or active lifestyle that is easy to park and drive in the city, the Kona was made for you.

It has a range of powerful engines

Among the many changes made to the 2022 Hyundai Kona this year, we find the addition of a more powerful Kona N version as well as a more powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder.

The 2022 Hyundai Kona N delivers 276 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to reach 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds. That makes it the quintessential pocket rocket, but all Kona models deliver on performance.

The base Kona features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, more power than the Honda HR-V or the Nissan Qashqai. The available 1.6-litre turbo turns the Kona into the most powerful small SUV this side of the Kona N with 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. It also features a dual-clutch gearbox, something you just don’t see in small SUVs.

Fuel economy remains impressive across the lineup with the base Kona averaging under 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres.

It packs plenty of value

The 2022 Hyundai Kona starts at just $21,999 while all-wheel drive is available starting at $23,999. You will enjoy Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in every Kona as well as heated front seats, a range of active safety technologies like forward collision braking and lane keep assist, and an 8-inch display.
