Hyundai expanded its crossover lineup with the first generation of its popular Kona all the way back in 2017. After seven years and one N Variant, Hyundai’s Kona entered its second generation for the ’24 model year.
This second-gen Kona carries over the powertrains from the first generation, but it gets holistically revamped interior and exterior styling and adds a hefty amount of consumer tech. Joining the updates for the latest Kona is Hyundai’s massive media and driver displays and a column shifter.
Powering the gas-burning Kona is either a 2.0-liter I4 in base SE and SEL models or the turbocharged 1.6-liter I4 in N-Line and Limited variants. The 2.0-liter sends 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque through a CVT, whereas the turbocharged 1.6-liter mill sends 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic.
On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the ’24 Hyundai Kona N-Line, takes you on a guided tour of the latest Kona, and highlights some of his favorite features.
Wren also takes you along for a live drive review, then chats with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the Kona, where it sits in the market, and about the first-generation Kona’s spectacular N model. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the ’24 Hyundai Kona special.
