Meet the 2026 Hyundai Kona in San Antonio, TX

Get to Know the 2026 Hyundai Kona at Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest

The 2026 Kona is a stylish and practical daily driver noted for its advanced safety features and excellent gas mileage. This affordable compact SUV also comes with an impressive warranty and complimentary roadside assistance. This means you never have to worry about repairs or breakdowns.

The Hyundai Kona is smaller, lighter, and more agile than Hyundai's larger Tucson and Santa Fe models. That versatility gives it an edge over rivals like the Ford Bronco Sport, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Subaru Crosstrek.

There's a shake-up in the Hyundai Kona trim lineup for 2026. There's a new SEL Premium and SEL Sport trim, and the SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line, and N Line S are gone.

You can choose from the following trims:

• SE
• SEL Sport
• SEL Premium
• Limited

Interior Review of the 2026 Hyundai Kona

The cabin of the 2026 Hyundai Kona features a simple, practical layout. In addition to comfortable front seats, the driver has excellent visibility, and the back seats have plenty of legroom. Although it's a compact SUV, it can easily fit five people.

It also offers a generous cargo space of 25.5 cubic feet, expanding to 63.7 cubic feet when the seats are folded. Additionally, it comes with a clever cargo cover that allows you to conceal taller items.

Cloth upholstery is standard, but you can get synthetic leather in higher trims. With ambient lighting, setting the mood inside the cabin is as easy as touching a button. Optional features include a power driver's seat and heated or ventilated front seats.

It's no problem to travel with small kids in the Hyundai Kona. The Kona features LATCH connectors and tether anchors to facilitate easy installation of child safety seats. Plus, it has rear child safety locks and rear occupant alerts.

Exterior Review of the 2026 Hyundai Kona

Like its electric counterpart, the 2026 Hyundai Kona sports a modern look. It has sculpted lines, distinct wheel arches, and air flaps. Hyundai appears to have adapted the EV's design to match that of the combustion version. There's an LED high-mount stop light on the roof, along with LED projector headlights, daytime running lights, and wrap-around LED taillights. Parking in crowded areas is a breeze with the Kona's compact size.

Wheel options are trim dependent. There's a set of 17-inch alloys on the SE trim, while the SEL Sport rides on 18-inch black alloy wheels. With the SEL Premium and Limited, 19-inch wheels come standard; the N-Line wheels are exclusive to the SEL Premium.

The latest Kona is available in a range of exterior paint colors, including the following:

• Abyss Black Pearl
• Soultronic Orange Pearl
• Cyber Gray Metallic
• Ecotronic Gray Pearl
• Ultimate Red Metallic
• Neoteric Yellow

Power and Performance of the 2026 Hyundai Kona
