1st official pics are out of Hyundai's radical looking crossover. It's not destined for SA; intially at least.
Hyundai Motor has unveiled the latest vehicle in its expanding line-up of stylish SUVs, the Hyundai Kona compact SUV. With a strong, impactful design and uncompromised individuality, the Kona is designed to appeal to modern customers with active lifestyles.
The Kona joins Tucson, Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport in a growing line-up of Hyundai Motor SUVs, as the company continues to widen customer choice in the segment. At the world premiere of its new B-segment SUV, Hyundai Motor reaffirmed its promise to deliver SUVs that feature progressive design with high interior refinement and spaciousness.
The Hyundai Kona will go on sale in Korea in June 2017, followed by North America and Europe.
"With the Kona, we have created a stylish and highly functional compact SUV, perfectly suited to the needs of customers who pursue challenging, action-filled lifestyles," said Euisun Chung, Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor Company. "We aim to set new standards for the compact SUV segment, with appealing design, cutting-edge connectivity and class leading safety features."
Uncompromised individuality and purposeful character
The Hyundai Kona is a brand-new challenger in the B-SUV segment, with uncompromised individuality and innovative features. The Kona's bold, daring image hints at the future design direction of Hyundai Motor's next generation of SUV models and creates a unique proposition in the compact SUV segment.
Hyundai Kona stands out from the crowd with high contrast design elements and striking style. Its masculine protective, 'armor', combines powerfully with the futuristic LED lighting to create a high-tech look. Despite its unique appearance, the Kona doesn't sacrifice sophistication and is highly capable - a combination designed to appeal to the Millennial demographic.
Unique and stylish exterior design
The Kona's stand-out design is reinforced by the car's voluminous, aggressive body styling, that emphasizes the car's well-proportioned, dynamic silhouette. Its low and wide stance complements the car's stylish profile, with the long wheel base and short overhangs ensuring sporty, nimble handling, in addition to delivering superior driving stability at high speed.
'Composite lamps' enhance the Kona's high-tech and mechanical appearance. The slim daytime running lights (DRL) incorporate turn signals and are positioned in a 'stack', separate to the LED headlights.
The Hyundai Kona's front is powerful, as its 'armor' shows its readiness for extreme activities. The compact SUV also adopts Hyundai Motor's new family identity, the Cascading Grille, featuring a sporty mesh pattern, flanked by exceptional wing-type fenders that dominate the front design.
The visual relationship between the composite lamps, Hyundai's signature Cascading Grille and the unique armor design results in a totally distinct character, which is important in the increasingly competitive B-SUV segment.
Further stand-out design elements at the side reinforce the car's tough and functional qualities. Most notably the contrasting black 'armor' that provides a protective skin and visually connects the front to the rear.
As with the front LED arrangement, the rear light configuration also creates a truly unique signature appearance. The slim brake lights, turn indicators and reverse lamp are placed in a separate configuration, surrounded by protective skin that begins at the C-pillar garnish.
In addition to the instantly recognizable shape, a number of playful color variations allow buyers to customize their Kona. The roof is finished with a two-tone color scheme, providing high contrast between the body and wheels - satisfying customers with a desire to express their individuality.
