What's New for the 2027 Hyundai Kona?
Hyundai's popular subcompact SUV enters 2027 with its established design and packaging carrying forward with no major revisions. The only key change to note across the lineup is that engine stop/start technology is no longer included on the starting SE trim.
What Are the 2027 Kona Trims & Features?
Four distinct trim grades comprise the 2027 Hyundai Kona family: SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium, and Limited.
The value-oriented SE model serves as a generous entry point, providing drivers with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® integration.
The Kona SEL Sport stands out on the road with 18-inch black alloy wheels and gloss-black styling accents. It also enhances daily comfort with dual-zone automatic temperature control, heated front seats, and an onboard wireless device charging pad.
Upgrading to the SEL Premium trim delivers the added punch of a turbocharged engine, along with upscale interior touches such as ambient cabin lighting, H-Tex seating surfaces, and a power driver's seat with lumbar support.
Serving as the flagship of the lineup, the Limited trim is loaded with premium amenities. Highlights include an eight-speaker Bose premium audio system, ventilated front seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a surround-view camera system, and a convenient hands-free Smart Liftgate.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Kona Have?
Base models are powered by a 2.0-liter, MPI four-cylinder engine delivering 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque through an efficient Intelligent Variable Transmission. Drivers seeking more spirited performance can step up to upper trims, which feature a 1.6-liter, turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard across all models, with all-wheel drive available on every trim.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Kona Include?
Standard driver-assistance technology is supplied by the comprehensive Hyundai SmartSense suite. Essential protective features include Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Following Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. For maximum situational awareness, the top-spec Limited trim comes equipped with a Blind-Spot View Monitor.
