Whether you're driving through the streets of Macomb or exploring the outskirts of Clinton Township, the 2026 Hyundai Kona is ready for your next adventure, and we encourage you to come and check it out.
One of the most significant changes for the 2026 Hyundai Kona is the introduction of an updated exterior design. The front fascia has been refreshed, featuring a more aggressive and modern look. The sleek headlights seamlessly integrate with the redesigned grille, creating a bold and distinctive presence on the road.
You'll still find plenty of similarities. There are amenities across the lineup as there are choices like a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, lane following assist, and smart cruise control. Other options allow you to add amenities like heated front seats, a power driver's seat, and dual-zone automatic climate control, making those chilly Metro Detroit mornings more comfortable.
Additionally, there are ones that offer even more luxuries. The SEL Premium features include larger 19-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate, and a Bose premium audio system. The range-topping Limited trim takes it a step further with ventilated front seats, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a surround-view monitor for easier parking and maneuvering.
You will also find that the 2026 Hyundai Kona offers a choice of two efficient powertrains. The SE and SEL Sport trims are equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower. For those seeking more power, the SEL Premium and Limited trims come standard with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 190 horsepower. Both offer the choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, and the available all-wheel drive system provides enhanced traction and stability, especially during inclement weather conditions. Whether you're dealing with rain, snow, or slippery roads, the Kona's all-wheel drive system gives you added confidence behind the wheel.
