New 2027 Hyundai Kona Interior, Specs, MPG – The New 2027 Hyundai Kona has been redesigned, making it larger both inside and out and providing substantial practicality, particularly in the cargo area. Like the previous generation, it distinguishes itself from other subcompact crossovers with its bold, borderline contentious look. The extra space and extravagant flair only help to highlight the traits that have made the Kona a huge hit since its inception. New 2027 Hyundai Kona Interior
The New 2027 Kona retains a similar look to the version that came before it, albeit with a more rounded treatment. A new LED light bar spans the entire front end, giving this crossover more than a passing resemblance to a certain Star Trek character. The rest of the Kona carries on the same design language, with plenty of lines and creases that culminate in another horizontal LED strip around back. The sporty N Line version gets an aggressive spoiler above the rear hatch, adding to the sci-fi look.

Exterior and Interior
With its longer wheelbase, the Kona rides quite well, although the 19-inch alloy wheels make things a touch stiffer by sacrificing some of the comfort provided by a bigger tire. On the highway, noise, vibration, and harshness are all well-controlled, and although it isn’t a luxury car, it’s also not a penalty box. Although overall interior functioning is excellent, several of the plastics utilized are unimpressive. However, Hyundai did not scrimp on the feel of the leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear selector, and infotainment controls, all of which drivers will regularly touch. New 2027 Hyundai Kona Interior
Otherwise, the suede-leather mix of seating surfaces in the N Line is nice, and the eight-way power driver’s seat helps to cut down on soreness and fatigue on long trips. The climate control system features a three-setting maximum fan limit, which is useful when different fan speeds are desired in auto mode.
New 2027 Hyundai Kona Specs
As the top dog Kona, the N Line is decked out with features. This flagship trim gets 19-inch alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, rain-sensing wipers, leather and suede seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless phone charging, and two 12.3-inch screens – one for instrumentation and the other for infotainment. The Ultimate package adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an upgraded stereo, and built-in navigation. 
Engine and Performance
Engine and transmission options mostly carry over for New 2027, with one notable exception. For the N Line and its 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder, the less refined seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) is gone in favour of a more conventional eight-speed unit. For the 1.6L, horsepower is down by five to 190, but the same 195 lb-ft of torque is available over a usable rpm range between 1,700 and 4,500 rpm. New 2027 Hyundai Kona Interior
New 2027 Hyundai Kona Fuel Economy
The combined fuel efficiency ratings for cities and highways are 9.7 L/100 km and 8.3 L/100 km, respectively, according to Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Following a week of testing, 8.4 L/100 km of largely highway driving was the measured consumption. Regular gasoline is appropriate even with a small displacement engine that has a turbocharger.
Compared to other choices in this segment, the Kona is right in the middle: the less powerful Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness has an 8.8 L/100 km combined rating, and the more powerful Mazda CX-30 Turbo comes in at 9.3. The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid gets 5.6. New 2027 Hyundai Kona Interior
New 2027 Hyundai Kona Safety Features
The Kona comes with forward collision warning that includes pedestrian and cyclist detection, an excellent lane-keeping/following assist system, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beam control, and adaptive cruise control. For parents of little ones who still need to be strapped into child seats, anchor points are easy to access.
The N Line trim and its optional Ultimate package ($3,000) gets Hyundai’s enhanced adaptive cruise control called Highway Driving Assist. The system can adjust the vehicle’s speed based on navigation data, as well as providing steering and lane-change assistance. The Ultimate also gets parking sensors all around, low-speed reverse automatic braking, camera-based blind-spot monitoring, and surround-view monitoring. New 2027 Hyundai Kona Interior
New 2027 Hyundai Kona Price and Release Date
The Kona N Line starts at $37,524, including destination, and the $3,000 Ultimate package brings the as-tested price of this particular unit to just over $40,000. In addition to the Subaru, Mazda, and Toyota models mentioned earlier, the Honda HR-V and Kia Seltos are all very close to the Hyundai in terms of pricing for their top trims. The Seltos and Kona tend to boast more features and gadgets, and the Kona edges out its compatriot based on having newer underpinnings; the Seltos is based on the outgoing Kona.
With vastly improved cargo and rear seat capacity, the New 2027 Hyundai Kona is a good choice as a fun-yet-comfortable do-it-all small crossover, but lower trims will be the best bang for the buck. When pitting the N Line Ultimate against its main peers, the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness goes for rugged over sporty, the Mazda CX-30 will have sharper driving feel, and the Honda HR-V falls somewhere in between.
