Keep scrolling to find details about this model year.
Exterior Styling
With ground clearance at 6.7 inches, the Kona is a true SUV. The aerodynamic Kona was designed to look good while channeling the wind. The standard gas models have vertical inlets that channel the wind. Hyundai engineers revised the skid plates to add to the new look.
The two sport models have a distinctive look. On the N-Line, there’s a sporty fascia that revises the front end look. In back, there’s a special rear fascia with a twin-tip exhaust.
Exclusive design clues mark the N as the most sporty model of all. The onlooker will notice its unique wing-type spoiler. Its start-shaped 19-inch alloy wheels front special Pirelli P Zero tires.
Slotted between the N-Line and N models, the Limited model is the dressiest Kona. It wears body cladding in a premium dark gray color. Roof rails are added to the top three trims.
Exterior Colors and Lighting
Colors include a fun Cactus Fern that may be perfect for life in Phoenix AZ. The liveliest colors include Pulse Red, Blue Wave, and Teal Isle. Other color choices include Thunder Gray, Ultra Black, and Lunar White.
Some colors are limited to certain trims, which is why it is recommended to discuss your color choice with our Hyundai dealer staff when you come for a test drive. For instance, the 2022 Hyundai Kona N is available in a special Racing Red exterior.
Projector headlights with automatic operation are standard. LED daytime running lights are standard on all models while LED headlights and LED tail lights are standard on many editions. High Beam Assist is designed to raise or lower the high beams at night according to road light conditions.
Interior Specifications
The 2022 Hyundai Kona is spacious for its small SUV class. Legroom increased for backseat passengers as Hyundai engineers worked to create more interior space. Passenger volume is now rated at 94 cubic feet, and the total volume is 113.3 cubic feet.
Hyundai has provided a dual-level cargo floor which assists with organization and flexibility. Likewise, the second-row bench is a split-fold seat for additional cargo versatility. The ample cargo space measures 19.2 cubes. When the rear seats are folded flat, the area grows to 45.8 cubic feet.
Cockpit and Comfort Features
The Kona cockpit is designed to serve the SE driver, and it gets even better as you climb the trim ladder to the N-Line, Limited or N editions. Designers emphasized ergonomics when designing the chair, adjustable steering wheel, and multiple driving screens.
Air conditioning is effective and well-regulated, especially with the automatic temperature controls. Phoenix AZ drivers will be more comfortable thanks to the standard solar glass used for the windshield and front door. Some models offer rear privacy glass.
Certain higher trims add an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s chair and heated front seats. A power sunroof is available for those who want a sportier feel or a more open cabin.
Standard Trim Levels
Stepping up for the SE, the SEL cockpit is especially well equipped. Push button start reduces clutter and makes life simple for busy drivers. The touch screen system adds more refined entertainment with satellite radio capability and standard HD Radio.
A three-year complimentary package for Blue Link Connected Car adds to the SEL value packaging. Hyundai adds the reverse cross traffic warning and the all important blind spot monitor. There are also upgrades available for the SEL that aren’t available on the SE.
With leather upholstery, there’s no mistaking the stylish interior of the 2022 Kona Limited trims. The navigation touchscreen provides turn-by-turn directions from accurate GPS data. Harman Kardon speakers provide crisper sound for a better listening experience even when you are stuck in commuter traffic.
Kona N-Line and N Trim Levels
Slotted between the SEL and Limited, the 2022 Kona N-Line has unique interior details. The special black upholstery has a distinctive red accent. Cockpits have a larger, color multi-information display to complement the large touch screen. The Hyundai Digital Key, which works like an app on your smartphone, is standard.
Available on the N-Line, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster sits behind the steering wheel in all Hyundai Kona N models. This excellent device provides more functionality as well as more fun for drivers. It certainly speaks to the N model’s speedier nature.
Considered a truly different sort of Kona, the 2022 Hyundai Kona N has trim-specific styling throughout the exterior and interior. The rich cabin has a combination upholstery of leather and suede. N logos and an N Grin Shift knob add to the racy details.
Performance
In a class by itself, the 2022 Hyundai Kona N has Launch Control to assist take-offs. The turbo engine creates 276 horsepower. A crisp automatic transmission directs 289 pound-feet of torque. The driver enjoys the benefits of a special N Corner Carving Differential and electronic limited slip differential.
A direct-injected turbo turns the Kona N-Line into a much sportier way to drive. Output is 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The standard Kona engine is a capable 147-horsepower unit. Engineers kept the vehicle’s curb weight to under 3,000 pounds, which makes that engine especially efficient for moving this lighter load.
Front-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive available on many models.
Hyundai Kona Electric Trim Levels and Performance
Already a cut above in terms of powertrain and capability, the 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric is offered in SEL and Limited packages. There is limited availability for this model, and it is strongly recommended that you discuss this model by phone, online chat or in person with our Hyundai dealer staff.
Ready for the open road, the electric motors and special battery pack allows the driver to command 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. Driving range is an ample 258 miles.
Electric models have a different look, since more aerodynamic features and tweaks have been utilized for the body. The front end includes specially sculpted fender vents. Kona EV lights have been reshaped for a more striking curb appeal.
With its starting price of $34,000 and available tax credit, this is an affordable electric car like few others. Unlike Teslas, the Kona Electric is eligible for the federal tax credit of up to $7,500.
Dash Tech
The touch screen display is an 8-inch high-tech feature. This easy-to-use infotainment system is made even easier with Bluetooth, voice recognition, and steering wheel-mounted controls. Drivers will especially like the convenience afforded by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can put your map app on the screen and enjoy navigational tools without the upgrade to GPS navigation.
However, the 10.25-inch touchscreen system is definitely a cut above. It is a match to the digital instrumentation with its 10.25 inch screen behind the steering wheel.
Called the N Grin Control system on the Kona N model, it keeps the driver updated about performance stats and other interesting data. Furthermore, the Kona N is one of the first vehicles to offer Highway Driving Assist which is integrated with the dashboard navigation system.
Safety Features
With a five-star NHTSA rating, the 2022 Kona has proven itself in federal crash tests. Hyundai The 2022 Kona earned the five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
These days the capability to avoid crash scenarios is just as important. That’s why Hyundai includes standard features to watch the front, sides and rear of the vehicle. It also has a driver attentiveness monitor to watch for distracted or sleepy driving behaviors.
For instance, a forward collision warning is backed up by an autobrake. The pedestrian detection feature helps drivers avoid hitting walkers or joggers. In addition, a lane keeping assist helps the driver maintain a safe trajectory.
Seeking to assist caregivers, the Kona has a standard rear occupant alert and an available safe exit warning. Of course there are standard LATCH attachments for the rear seats where car seats can be installed more safely.
Additional Driver Assistance and Automation
The affordable SEL package includes the blind spot monitor that assists with other side travel dangers. It also has a cross traffic watch for parking maneuvers. Smart Cruise Control can slow and go with traffic patterns.
Highway Driving Assist goes beyond this to include the lane keeper and navigational assistance. It can be used on certain stretches of highway where more automated driving is allowed. Drivers should be advised that they must keep their hands on the steering wheel and monitor the route for safety.
Ownership Costs
Adding value to its excellent powertrains, Hyundai purchases come with up to 36,000 miles or 3 years of free scheduled maintenance. The engines are further covered by the leading powertrain warranty of up to 100,000 miles or ten years.
The Limited Warranty covers your purchase for up to five years. This remarkable warranty is two years longer than you’ll find on the 2022 Honda HR V and nearly any other rival SUV on sale today. An anti-perforation warranty covers up to 7 years.
The standard Kona powertrain is a fuel efficient unit that saves money over the life of the vehicle. Earning 35 mpg on the highway, EPA estimates show a combined rate of 32 mpg. Of course, the electric powertrain is even more affordable to operate.
