Korean car manufacturer Hyundai has broken the mould in every possible way with the latest versions of its Kona model. Imagine innovative styling, radical colour options and a whole festival of clever technology and you might be half-way there!
Described by the media as a 'compact SUV' rather than a hatchback, the 5-door Kona is has mass appeal. It's equally at home performing as a practical family car or a petrol-head's 'plaything'.
You can choose the Hyundai Kona that matches your needs by leasing one from LeaseCar. The reason we're so good at what we do is that we love leasing to our customers! Leasing gives you the option to drive the car you want, not just the one you can afford. If you want to drive the latest Kona, give us a call.
A truly attractive feature of the Kona is the choice of vibrant body colours. Hyundai has spread their wings here and taken personalisation to another level: in some models, you can have the interior trim colour-matched to the exterior.
Here's a run-down on the most popular models we lease:
The SE is one of the most popular choices. It's powered by a very economical 1.0 litre turbocharged engine, coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox; a combination suited to all types of driving. The SE has an impressive set of features by anyone's standards. This includes 17" alloy wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, dual parking sensors and a reversing camera.
While the engine and gearbox remains the same as the SE, taking a step to the Premium provides a whole raft of benefits. Premium drivers enjoy keyless entry/ignition and 18" alloys, plus the option of pearlescent paint and a sunroof.
The icing on the cake is the Premium GT. This model features a 175bhp 1.6 litre turbo engine, complemented by a 7-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. You can also choose head-turning 18" alloy wheels, a multi-link rear axle, LED lights all around and a contrasting roof colour. Think of building your fantasy Kona, then make it a reality!
The Hyundai Kona 1.0 litre engine provides excellent fuel economy - ideal for city driving. But, if you're after more of a thrill behind the wheel, the turbo is guaranteed to raise your pulse rate. The added benefit of 4wd is a bonus to rural drivers too. Overall, the Kona's comfort and drivability is a match for any of its competitors.
Hyundai have waved their magic wand inside the Kona to create an abundance of comfort. Every model has a great infotainment system and even the minimum spec has a 7" touchscreen, Bluetooth and DAB radio. For lovers of aesthetics, the Premium GT is available with a colour-coded interior and full leather upholstery, as well as multiple driver-assist features.
The Hyundai Kona fared very well in its Euro NCAP testing, meriting a full 5 stars. More than just an attractive car, the Kona has a particularly well-designed body structure, making it especially safe for its occupants.
