√2024 Hyundai Kona specifications for Australia

Model grades and specifications for the 2024 Hyundai Kona have been shared with dealers ahead of showroom arrivals later this year, though prices are yet to be released. Here is everything we know so far.

The 2024 Hyundai Kona small SUV will come fully loaded with safety and technology features – regardless of which model is selected – when it arrives in showrooms in the second half of this year.

However prices are expected to rise sharply, according to information shared with dealers.

Hyundai dealers have been advised there will be three model grades and four engine choices – which has previously been reported by Drive – however now we know the equipment listed for each variant, and which engines can be mixed and matched with which model.

Production of the standard Hyundai Kona with a 2.0-litre petrol engine – and the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol N Line model – is due to start in June or July.

The Hyundai Kona 2.0-litre with the N Line styling pack is due to start in August or September.

And hybrid variants of the new Hyundai Kona are due to commence in September or October.
