Hyundai's designers started by creating the new Kona EV and then applied the look to the other versions. In front, all of them share a distinctive light bar along the hood's edge. The headlights are below this strip on the outer corners.

The lower fascia's styling is the primary differentiating factor among the 2024 Kona models. The EV has pixel-like elements there, and the styling shares some cues with Hyundai's Ioniq vehicles. The standard ICE vehicle has a rectangular opening in this space. The N Line has a more aggressive appearance by using a trapezoidal element.

From the side, the 2024 Kona models share a similar look. The hybrid- and combustion-powered variants have body cladding on the fenders. The EV and N Line keep this section in the body color. The N Line has a rear spoiler, silver side skirts, and available black pieces for the mirror caps and roof.

The rear matches the front by having a light bar stretch across the hatchback. Like the headlights, the tail lamps are in the lower corners. The N Line gets dual exhaust outlets.

The new Kona EV is 4,355 millimeters long, which is 150 millimeters longrr than the existing model. The wheelbase increases by 60 millimeters while the width is wider by 25 millimeters.

Inside, the new Kona has a pair of 12.3-inch screens that share a single bezel. The gearshift is now on the column behind the steering wheel. Below the big displays, the center stack includes a pair of vents and the controls for the HVAC system.

In the second row, there's a simple rear bench. The company's announcement says that it follows the rest of the new Kona's "21st-century urban design aesthetic."

The automaker isn't yet disclosing powertrain specifications or pricing details for the new Kona. Hyundai will release that info in the coming months.

Turbocharged

The LED strip in front is so cool.

Can it mimic Kitt in Knight Rider with a wavy light strip? Swee. And when activated, the Knight Rider theme song will auto broadcast in the car cabin.

@ksapple niro and kona have always been similar just different branding and some styling differences. like take engine for eg, kia uses hyundai engines 

Not really true for others like the Elantra Hyundai uses independent rear while the Kia uses trailing arm

Look at Hyundai and KIA design than you look at Toyota and Honda...still damn old school

 

Honda still better than Toyota. Toyota interior design really old school and all plastic. Toyota exterior still got some improvement in recent years but interior really need major revamp.
