Hyundai has yet to reveal the all-new Kona, and to ensure it retains the attention of the public, its South Korean division has released a slew of videos featuring the upcoming compact SUV.
Unfortunately, you won’t get to see the Kona in its entirety here, but we’ve already seen the vehicle ahead of its planned debut thanks to previous spyshots by autoweek.nl. From the looks of it, the design of the Kona is no doubt funky, and certainly a standout from Hyundai’s other models.
In other videos, Hyundai attempts to explain (in Korean) how the Kona will “break the mould” in the SUV segment, as well as take us on a trip to Hawaii. If you didn’t already know, the SUV gets is name from the Kona district on the Big Island of Hawaii, reflecting the island’s energetic image and unique lifestyle.
When it makes its debut, the Kona will compete against the likes of the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Toyota C-HR and Mazda CX-3. It should be underpinned by the same platform as the Creta (and i20), with a range of diesel and petrol engines available.

Are you jealous of Hyundai making nice cars that people want to buy?

“Come now… only sammyloo welcomes pipu to buy ur no RV cars.”

Proton Boleh/Boyue > all
Hyundai, Please Kona this car to Malaysia..I’m sick with lot of HRV
Come in alredi, U complain Kimchi no RV.
Amazing how Hyundai just started 10 years earlier can sell 8 million cars globally and Proton can only sell 50,000 cars locally. And that also, 90% ordered by Government departments as a sedekah to help proton out.
Kona will sell well!
2 words: Market volume
Proton not global car meh?
2 words: No buyers
Since when? Its only sold to few markets.
More important home market must have sufficient pipu for market volume.
Facts.
Kimchi: 76.5 mil pipu
MY: 31 mil pipu
So again. Market volume.
U only provide half true fact. Do u think all 76.5M Kimchi or 31M MY pipu buy cars? If there are no buyers, the company can’t be profitable.
This is fact
U telling me 15% of 76.5M is same same as 15% of 31M?
But Iriz was known as GSC before it was launched. Global Small Car. So we also global mah….oh wai oh wai oh wai!
That was the term for the Giugiaro(?) small concept car that Iriz was based on. Engineering realities & real world costings dictates that concept being localised to non-NA marketed car which is the Iriz.
they really put effort on advertising this product~ our car maker should learn on this~
Lousy car with gud advert is useless.
There is a mountain bike of the same name ~ Kona. I own one.
Much much much much much better looking than the weird looking “T” CH-R. Opps, RV more important
