2018 Hyundai Kona revealed at the Dubai Motor Show
Posted by Suraj Viswanathan on Nov 23, 2017
The front of the 2018 Hyundai Kona gets a thin strip of LED lights, which include the DRLs and turn indicators. The main headlamps are placed further down on the bumper, so are the fog lamps. The Kona wears loads of ‘look tough’ plastic cladding all around, and gets really pronounced wheel arches to connote the new Kona’s SUV aspirations. Around at the back, the Kona gets stylish, sleek taillamps and even more plastic cladding on the bumper.

The cabin of the new 2018 Hyundai Kona is well laid out, and gets decent quality of materials. Plus, the standard kit on offer is good as well. The Kona is a pretty safe bet as well, as it comes with all the standard array of safety features that one can expect from a modern Hyundai. Just like the exterior, the interior of the new Kona is funky and hip – perfect for the teenager inside you.
The 2018 Hyundai Kona can be had with two engine and transmission combinations. There’s a 2.0-liter four-banger that makes 147 HP and 179 Nm of torque. This comes mated to a 6-speed automatic, and enables the Kona to hit 100 km/h in 10 seconds, and a top speed of 194 km/h. The second unit is a 1.6-liter turbo petrol that puts out 174 HP and 265 Nm of torque. This turbocharged Kona will hit the ton mark in 7.7 seconds, and go on to a top speed of 210 km/h.
