What's New for the 2027 Hyundai Kona?
Hyundai's versatile compact crossover SUV rolls into the 2027 model year largely unchanged. The sole mechanical update of note is that the starting SE trim is no longer equipped with engine stop/start technology.
What Are the 2027 Kona Trims & Features?
Drivers can choose between four distinct trim levels for the 2027 Hyundai Kona: SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium, and Limited.
The entry-level SE trim provides exceptional value, highlighted by standard tech features like a 12.3-inch color touchscreen infotainment interface with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® connectivity.
The Kona SEL Sport delivers an eye-catching aesthetic with gloss-black accents and 18-inch black alloy wheels. Onboard amenities also receive a boost, incorporating heated front seating, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and a convenient wireless charging pad for your devices.
Opting for the SEL Premium trim pairs a more muscular turbocharged powertrain with premium conveniences, including a power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, ambient interior illumination, and H-Tex upholstery.
The flagship Limited trim is appointed with first-class luxuries. Music lovers will appreciate the eight-speaker Bose premium sound system, while ventilated front seats elevate comfort in warmer weather. A hands-free Smart Liftgate, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system complete the package.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Kona Have?
The baseline setup for the 2027 Kona relies on a 2.0-liter MPI four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission tuned for optimal fuel economy. Upper trim levels step up to a lively 1.6-liter, turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine rated at 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. While front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available on every trim level.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Kona Include?
The 2027 Kona incorporates Hyundai SmartSense active safety features as standard equipment across all models. Key driver-assistance technologies include Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Following Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection. Moving up to the Limited trim adds an advanced Blind-Spot View Monitor for extra peace of mind.
