Although officially, Hyundai has yet to confirm which model they are launching, the teaser photo does point to the all-new Kona and its distinctive Seamless Horizon front lamps. It also has what is potentially its launch color: Neoteric Yellow.

Set to slot between the Creta and the Tucson, the all-new Kona takes on a futuristic vibe, while still keeping its wheel arch “armor” motif.

Compared to the previous generation Kona, the new model has unique proportions with increased dimensions. At 4,350 mm in length, it’s around 170 mm longer than the previous model, with a wheelbase of 2,660 mm—60 mm longer. Its width is 1,825 mm, which is 25 mm wider, and the height is 20 mm taller at 1,575 mm.

So far, Hyundai Motor Philippines is keeping mum on what’s going to provide power the Kona, but elsewhere it comes with a series of traditional combustion engine, hybrid, and even electric powertrains.

The Smartstream G 2.0, for example, makes 149 horsepower and 179 Nm, while moving up, there’s the Smartstream G 1.6T with 198 horsepower and 264 Nm of torque in the Kona N Line. 

Meanwhile, for fans of electrified engines, the Kona Hybrid pairs the Smartstream G 1.6 GDI with an electric motor offering a peak system output of 141 horsepower and 265 Nm. If this seems familiar, it is the very same engine powering the recently-launched Elantra Hybrid. The Kona Electric, meanwhile, sports either a 134 horsepower (99 kW), 255 Nm or 204 horsepower (150 kW), 255 Nm electric motor.

Since the Kona’s been designed from an EV-derived universal architecture, Hyundai has been able to free up room. For example, the front row has a “floating” horizontal crash pad. The gear selector moves from the center console to behind the steering wheel, while the driver is treated to dual panoramic display screens.

The first-row seats distribute body pressure to help alleviate fatigue, while the Curveless Bench Seat in the second row maximizes space and provides easy maintenance. A two-stage latch allows some degree of recline. The second row also folds flat, revealing 723 liters of space.

The all-new Kona, whatever flavor it ends up arriving in the Philippine market, will launch on June 20.
