Hyundai is accelerating the completion of the new Kona. Codenamed SX2, the car is constantly being tested in Korea with less and less interior and exterior camouflage, opening the possibility that the small SUV can be launched in the early days of next year.
The Hyundai Kona interior revealed uncovered this week, showing two rather strange elements that the car possesses when entering the second generation. First, the steering wheel does not have the usual H logo, instead. is the Hyundai character line. In the future, the Korean automaker will upgrade the logo and launch with the new generation Santa Fe.
Next, the position of the gearshift lever of the Hyundai Kona will be returned to the steering column below the steering wheel. This layout was previously used on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric SUV to significantly free up space in the position between the two front seats.
Currently, information from Korea is that the new Hyundai Kona will indirectly cause the i30 to be killed. But this factor is uncertain. If there’s one thing that’s 100% certain about the new Hyundai Kona, it’s that the vehicle’s dimensions will be slightly enlarged compared to its predecessor, and that petrol and electric powertrain options will still be available for sale in tandem.

In terms of design, the new Hyundai Kona will continue to pursue the language used on the recent Ioniq 5, Tucson or Santa Cruz. The front of the car is expected to be equipped with a front light cluster that separates into different areas – a style that was started by this model 5 years ago, but the main interface will now change from horizontal to vertical like Tucson or Palisade.
