The Hyundai Kona has finally been unveiled. This all new SUV is based on the Intrado concept introduced. The images of this SUV have been officially been revealed and has created quite a buzz. Kona is compact SUV and sidewise it is slightly smaller than the Creta. So, in the Indian scenario, it will compete with the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford Ecosport, mainly. 

During the Auto Expo 2016, Hyundai had showcased the Carlino concept in India. This is also a compact SUV and one of the two will be making an entry in India. The Hyundai Kona is currently about 4,165mm long, but will be about about 4 metres in length, in case it comes to India. This will also give it benefit of excise duty. Let’s see what the Hyundai Kona is all about.

Hyundai Kona Launch Date

The new Kona SUV should be launched around early 2018, in the European market, as per our understanding. The Kona has been revealed much ahead of its launch ignored to create some buzz around this compact SUV.. The aim is to reach out to maximum buyers and be ready to gauge the market response early on. For India, Hyundai will want to get into the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford Ecosport segment and eat into the SUVs numbers or grow the segment further. There is likely to be an entry into India by 2019.

Hyundai Kona Design

Hyundai Kona seen as the i20 SUV so far, internationally. This will be sharing the same platform with the existing Hyundai compact vehicles. This is a monocoque design and will be a front wheel drive vehicle. It will not offer an AWD. There will be a slight similarity to the Creta, if we view it from the rear. However, this will look more muscular than the Creta.

The front grille is now lower and even bigger than ever. The crowned hood looks good and the alloy wheels also are of a muscular design. At the same time, the dual tone theme is carried forward with a contrast roof colour on the Kona. It looks more like a crossover that a SUV, from the side.
