Hyundai Kona, this name may not be familiar to Thais.

But in fact it is one of the most well received crossovers in Europe.

Now it’s unveiled in 2024 and comes with a wide range of power options.

As always, the 2024 Hyundai Kona has an overall design that makes it look different off the road. Although it hardly contains the original lines of the elders at all. Because they’ve all been reworked to follow the unique lines of modern Hyundai cars, from the choice to use LED light strips along the bottom edge of the hood, to moving the headlights into the cheeks of the left and right front bumper.

While the air intake in the front bumper with a set of large wheels to cut the air out of the wheel arches, but the model will be modified according to the shape of the power. In addition, if it is a model that uses an internal combustion engine. It will also come with a black plastic side cheek piece. To add a more rugged personality to the car, the N Line Hybrid version will use a more aggressive front bumper, and the EV version will use a blacked-out front bumper instead. To indicate the form of force within the hood itself

As for the other technical details of the car , Hyundai did not disclose much information on this point. In addition to the car’s length of 4355 mm, which is 150 mm more than before, followed by a wheelbase width of 60 mm more than before, while the car is also 25 mm wider. This means that she has grown a lot. compared to the previous model

The performance aspect of the Force itself has not been disclosed either. But foreign media says the Hybird may have the same powertrain as the Hyundai Niro, which uses a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. Then get a combined maximum power of 141 PS with a maximum torque of 264 Nm.

As for the 100% electric car, it is expected to come with a 64.8 kWh battery that supports a maximum range of 407 km per charge and is powered by an electric motor. Maximum power is about 204 PS.

Inside the car itself I found it had a face and the atmosphere inside  is not unlike the Hyundai Ioniq 5 that was recently unveiled at our home recently. Both the console layout and the 12.3-inch infotainment display are mounted in a floating position and are the same size as the vehicle information display. It is the same frame

And in order not to use the car seems very complicated. So it still comes with a separate set of push buttons to control the vehicle’s various systems. Not all of them are included on the screen. In addition, the gear lever has been replaced. Go to steering column for flexibility of use

The seat has been completely redesigned.  With an emphasis on comfort especially the rear passenger seats , which Hyundai claims will provide a “different experience”. With the ultimate in versatility, smoothness and comfort” that cars of the same class can offer.

Of course, the 2024 Hyundai Kona is due to go on sale in about a year or so , so the company hasn’t released any other details about the car yet . The official release price has not yet been announced. Including customers targeting countries as well which will have the opportunity to sell in our country as well or not? We have to wait and see each other.
