The Hyundai company has long begun to make its cars in a style that is bound to appeal to both young drivers and aged ones. But it stands out especially strongly in their lineup small crossover Kona. The appearance of this car could not but rejoice, and the next restyling will make it even brighter. So, the new model will get more big amount a variety of decor, a slightly improved interior and will receive features that will appeal to everyone. With the help of Hyundai Kona 2019, the Korean brand will try to gain a foothold even more firmly in the markets of many countries in the budget crossover class.
To say that the car looks stylish is an understatement. In the photo you can find a huge amount of all kinds of decor, thanks to which it is simply impossible to go unnoticed in the stream. The front part is especially bright. It is quite short and immediately stands out with a relief hood. Directly below it is a barely noticeable main optics, made in the form of the thinnest lines. Between them is the same thin air intake cutout.
Main grill providing airflow to engine compartment placed below. It is very similar to those that are installed in other machines of the company - a trapezoidal cut big size with large mesh. As close as possible to the wheel arches, additional cooling holes are placed, into which low beam lights are built.
But that's not all. The body kit of the car is distinguished by the presence of some relief, another air intake strip, along the edges of which is placed fog light. The design of the bumper ends with a layer of unpainted plastic.
The profile of the car is also quite bright. On it you can find a huge amount of undulating relief, stylish mirrors, wheels and other little things. Just like before, new body here ends with a wide layer of plastic.
Nicely done rear bumper. It also has a lot of relief, thin optics, a lot of brake lights, plastic and metal inserts. Unfortunately, there is clearly not enough aggressive exhaust.
Salon
The interior of the crossover is made in a purely youth style - a bright line, a bunch of multimedia and a minimum of analog controls. New Hyundai Kona 2019 model year received quality salon from natural or faux leather, fabrics and plastic, stylized as aluminum. Also here you can find a large number of options that greatly simplify the driving process and increase comfort.
The center console looks rather modest. On it was placed a large touch screen, surrounded by a few buttons, a thin row of air vents, and a panel with climate control settings. Finishing the console with a panel with connectors for accessories.
The tunnel also does not differ in a bunch of functionality. By itself, it is quite thin, but long. There was a place for a gear shift knob, two rows with buttons for setting some options, a pair of cup holders, parking brake and retractable armrest.
Pleasant appearance at the helm - it is small, with yellow stitching, a wide and soft grip. On the spokes of it are a plentiful number of buttons. Behind the steering wheel, the designers placed a standard dashboard, consisting of two round analog sensors and a screen on-board computer.
Relatively comfortable in the car can only be located in front. Here the chairs have lateral support, filled soft material and can be heated. Due to the small dimensions of the car, the rear row sofa can fit on itself only not very big people. Children will feel best here. Of the options that affect comfort, there is only heating.
Specifications

Release date in Russia
The start of sales in Russia will not be announced, since we are already selling a competitor of the car -.
The presentation of the updated Hyundai Creta 2018 crossover should take place soon, the predecessor of which has become one of the most sought-after SUVs in Russia. Representatives of the Korean company promise that all the main ideas will be embodied in the restyled version of the SUV. model range so beloved by motorists. The debut version of Crete attracted the attention of motorists from all over the world, so the presentation of the new Hyundai Creta 2018 is considered one of the most anticipated events of this year in the automotive world.
According to experts and analysts, the novelty definitely should not disappoint its fans, as the Koreans always follow new technological trends and the developers, as they say, "saddle the crest of the wave." When taken into account all the shortcomings and shortcomings of the debut version, so the new crossover will qualify for leadership positions in the segment.
Spy photos of the updated crossover have recently appeared on the network. It is immediately noticeable that Creta 2018 belongs to one Korean family at least in terms of the exterior. The main reason for this lies in the fact that, by analogy with and, the appearance of the SUV is made within the concept of "liquid sculpture". By the way, many experts agree that this is one of the most successful stylistic trends.
The exterior of the new Crete has become noticeably more solid, but at the same time it definitely cannot be pretentious. The front of the car will be equipped with a huge wind window, thanks to which the driver's view will be quite amplitude, as well as a smooth hood with a pair of side air ducts. On the nose of the crossover, you can see a modernized false radiator grille, on which, unlike its predecessor, more chrome elements appeared, and stylish headlights with LED filling. The lower part of the bumper of the novelty has become more voluminous. It housed a trapezoidal air intake located in the cutout of the plastic lining and huge foglights with running lights.
On the side, the design of the car has remained virtually unchanged. Is that become more sporty and dynamic. Here you can observe the high line of the window sill, the sloping roof, distinct ribbing and powerful wheel arches. As for the aerodynamic qualities of Creta 2018, judging by the shape of the body, the car should perfectly enter the air stream.
Stern Korean crossover looks no less dynamic. Particularly successful solutions of developers seem to be installed headlights, reminiscent in form, and in filling, front optics. Separately, I would like to note the trunk lid, the solidity of which is given by a visor, with a built-in brake light. rear bumper surprises with its accuracy, as well as exquisite running lights.
Salon
As for the interior of the new Creta 2018, there are very few differences from its predecessor. Immediately I want to note the front panel, which has become more voluminous and overall. Experts have already agreed that she began to look much more interesting, and not in last turn due to the use of designers a large number smooth transitions. The steering wheel layout has also remained the same. Under it you can see a stylish analog speedometer and tachometer, as well as an on-board computer display.
The center console can be safely called harmonious, but at the same time it looks a bit gloomy. The thing is that the designers have relied on matte plastic in dark tones, and it is unlikely that anyone will turn their tongues to reproach them. A high-tech 7-inch touch screen is installed in the center of the panel, with huge deflectors on both sides. Below is a block climate system, which, in turn, smoothly passes into the transmission platform.
Special attention is paid to the chairs, the quality and layout of which have improved markedly compared to their predecessor. driver and front passenger get full access to customizing the seats for themselves. Numerous adjustments and functions, such as heating and ventilation, should help them with this. As for the finishing work, the developers did not save money and used expensive plastic, thanks to which all the elements fit as accurately and clearly as possible. According to the results trial test drive it became clear that during the movement, in the cabin of Creta 2018 there are no uncharacteristic sounds and squeaks.
Judging by all the representatives of the Hyundai model range, there have never been problems with luggage capacity. The new Crete was no exception, which will be able to accommodate 420 liters. And with the rear row of seats folded down, this figure can increase to 1100 liters.
Specifications
We note right away that the new body was not used in the design of Creta 2018. The developers decided to stay on the previous modular platform, especially since it was perfect for the updated line of engines of the restyled version of the crossover.
According to the developers, they have already studied the characteristics of the demand for motors for Russian market, and believe that it is not necessary to make any drastic interventions in the line, and it is worth limiting yourself to only minor improvements.
Domestic motorists can count on a couple gasoline engines with a volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters, which are capable of producing 123 and 160 Horse power. Most likely this is enough not to graze the back in the city, and to ride on the highway with a breeze. In terms of range transmission boxes also without surprises: a 6-speed "mechanics" and a similar "automatic".
For the European market and the US will also be available diesel engines 1.4 and 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 90 and 128 horsepower. Their appearance in Russian version the crossover has not yet been announced, and this seems very strange, especially given the attitude of domestic motorists to diesel engines.
Since the previous module was used in the design of the novelty, it is not worth talking about changes in dimensions.
As for, it is within 9 liters in the city and 6 liters on the highway.
Options and prices
There is no exact information on the number of configurations yet, and we will not guess. We only note that, most likely, the cost of Creta 2018 in basic version registration to be established at around 800 thousand rubles. We will wait for the announcement of official data, and even then we will talk about this in more detail.
Release date in Russia
The presentation of the new Crete is scheduled for the end of this year. Accordingly, the start of sales in Russia is expected no earlier than the spring of 2018. But it is possible that this may happen later.
In the spring of this year, it became known that the lineup of Hyundai crossovers will be replenished with another car - Kona. The official debut of the 2018 Hyundai Kona is expected to take place in early August 2017, and the entire automotive world is in constant expectation of this event.
As noted by company representatives, the name Kona is not accidental. It was formed from the ancient Hawaiian dialect, and means the area where the most expensive coffee is harvested. This can be considered a trick of marketers, since everyone associates Hawaii with outdoor activities, and coffee - with expression. Given this, the conclusion suggests itself that the car is primarily intended for young people who lead an active lifestyle. New crossover Hyundai 2018 should pleasantly surprise its fans with many innovations, as well as a high level of comfort and safety.
The exterior of the Hyundai Kona 2018 is decorated in a very bright and progressive style. Judging by its appearance, the "Korean" should perfectly fit the role of a city car, as it has the necessary qualities for this: solidity and representativeness.
If you peer at the appearance of the car from the front, you can see a huge convex windshield, with a minimum angle of inclination. From it originates a "bloated" hood with soft stampings. All this in total makes the car body incredibly streamlined and aerodynamic. The nose of the novelty is arranged in a very unusual way: narrow LED headlights, between which the developers installed a fake false radiator grille, under which the real one was immediately located. Somewhat unusual is the placement of fairly large foglights, which are located immediately under the headlights. At the bottom of the bumper, you can see a compact trapezoidal air intake and a pair of running lights.
The design of the side of the car once again confirms the pretentiousness of the model for sportiness and representativeness. First of all, I would like to notice the drop-down roof, which has already become the hallmark of the lineup. It is also worth noting the window sill line rushing up and large doors, over their entire area “strewn” with stylish stampings and ribbing. Under voluminous wheel arches 16" or 17" wheels can be fitted.
The design of the stern of the car fits perfectly into the overall design concept and boasts a very successful layout. The embossed trunk lid and fashionable conceptual headlights immediately catch the eye, the effect of which is enhanced by huge running lights. As for the bumper, it looks very powerful and is equipped with reliable plastic lining.
Salon
In design interior decoration Hyundai Kona 2018, as can be seen from the spy photos, is dominated by manufacturability and innovation. But, at the same time, the developers managed to achieve brevity, which is often neglected by other automotive companies.
The front panel of the model is made very strictly, but this certainly does not make it less stylish. The center console consists of several compartments. The upper one is equipped with a high-tech touch screen, to which it is connected navigation system and onboard computer. By the way, the screen is at the optimal height for the driver, which greatly simplifies the last control process. On the level below you can see a small control unit for audio and climate systems.
As a "steering wheel" used branded three-spoke steering wheel (in top options configuration, you can count on multifunctional steering wheel). Its position can be changed within two planes, using electrical regulators. In the well under it, two analog speedometer and tachometer counters were successfully hidden, as well as a color mini-screen showing the current technical condition car.
The front row of seats is made according to the wishes of motorists and will definitely not disappoint anyone in terms of comfort. In addition to close to perfect ergonomics, each chair boasts the presence of heating and a position adjustment function. The back yard of seats freely accommodates three adult passengers, while providing each of them enough free space.
As for the quality of finishes, for this purpose, the designers used expensive materials and designed everything on highest level. Aesthetes will definitely not be disappointed.
Specifications
It was originally planned that the 2018 Hyundai Kona would be equipped exclusively with a system front wheel drive, however, the use of the modernized modular platform untied the hands of the developers, and they, although optional, still added an all-wheel drive system.
The range of power units includes both gasoline and diesel engines:
- gasoline - liter and two 1.4-liter with a capacity of 100, 100 and 140 horsepower, respectively;
- diesel - a 1.6-liter turbodiesel capable of producing 95,110 and 136 "horses".
You can feel the power and impact of these motors only on a test drive of new items.
Options and prices
Accurate quantity information available trim levels not yet, but it is already known that the basic set of equipment will include: an emergency braking system, a system for monitoring the physiological state of the driver, parking sensors and adaptive cruise control. For all this, you will have to pay about 17,500 euros.
Release date in Russia
As mentioned above, the official presentation of Kona 2018 should take place in early August this year. It can be assumed that the supply of new items in the US and Europe will begin closer to autumn. The start of sales in Russia, most likely, will not take place. At least this year for sure. This is due to the fact that domestic motorists prefer Hyundai Kreta, as it has already proven itself well, and besides, it is much cheaper than its Korean counterpart.
At a special event in Korean Goyang on June 13, 2017, a presentation of the new Hyundai Kona subcompact SUV took place, which they also decided to show in Milan on the same day. Its world premiere took place on Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
It would seem that the manufacturer's line already has a car of this class - this is, which in a number of markets is also known as the ix25 or Canta. But if the Creta is a car for developing countries, then the Kona is designed for Europe, the US and South Korea.
Part by part Hyundai design Kona 2018-2019 received a fashionable and rather unusual design. The brand's characteristic hexagonal grille is combined here with a two-story front end architecture, reminiscent of a similar solution used on.
Here head optics integrated into front bumper, and in place of traditional headlights there are long sections of DRL, supplemented by a ventilation slot between them. And at the very bottom of the bumper, there are also foglights. The body of the crossover is generously covered with protective plastic overlays, which the manufacturer calls "armor".
In the photo of the new Hyundai Kona 2018, we see a steeply rising window sill line, which, coupled with the effect of a “floating” roof and a rear visor spoiler, give the model a swift look, complemented by rather large wheels standing at the corners of the body, which has minimal overhangs.
The interior of the SUV in its architecture resembles the interior of the third generation - there are similar steering wheel, instrument panel and a separate screen multimedia system above the center console (can be 5.0, 7.0 or 8.0 inches and has support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, as well as projection). The decoration uses decorative edging to match the body color.
IN the basis of Hyundai Kona is a new subcompact platform that is designed in such a way as to free up maximum space for passengers and trunk - later a related one will appear on it. Front suspension on models with McPherson struts, rear suspension torsion beam(on front-wheel drive versions), or multi-link (on all-wheel drive).
The overall length of the Hyundai Kona 2018-2019 is 4,165 mm, the wheelbase is 2,600, the width is 1,800, the height is 1,550. Thus, the car turned out to be 105 mm shorter than Creta, 20 mm wider and 80 mm lower. The body structure of the crossover is 51.8% made of high-strength steels.
The Hyundai Kona SUV won the honorary title of the 2019 North American SUV, ahead of the other two finalists in the fight for first place - and were left behind.
As power units for the novelty, depending on the market, they will offer three gasoline engines and a 1.6-liter diesel, details of which have yet to be announced. The control electronics has three operating modes: "Economic", "Normal" and "Sport".
- The simplest engine is a 2.0-liter gasoline aspirated MPI 149 hp (179 Nm), which is paired with a six-speed automatic. With it, the car picks up a hundred from a standstill in 10.0 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 194 km / h.
- Europeans will offer a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo with recoil 120 forces and 172 Nm of torque looking for paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The maximum speed with this reaches 181 km / h, and the acceleration time is 12.0 seconds.
- The top one so far is the 1.6-liter T-GDI from the Gamma family on 177 "horses" and 265 Nm. He is entitled to a 7-band robot, with which the Hyundai Kona makes a hundred from a standstill in 7.7 seconds, and maximum speed declared 210 kilometers per hour.
In addition, in two thousand and eighteenth, the manufacturer released a complete model, the power reserve of which is about 300 km. Alas, it is pointless to wait for the start of car sales in Russia, since they do not plan to supply Kona to us. Prices in Korea range from $17,000 to $25,000.
The car is equipped with a security complex with a special camera that is responsible for automatic switching high beam close, systems automatic braking and tracking the markings with the function of holding in the lane, as well as monitoring the "blind" zones.
The updated Hyundai Greta 2019 made further adjustments to the concept of budget, but quality car. Manufacturer spent maximum restyling focusing not only on external changes. In a car novelty, it is possible to combine 1.6- and 2.0-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 123 and 150 horsepower with front and all-wheel drive, and "junior" gives the choice of the gearbox used: manual transmission or automatic transmission. Auto Korean production presented in three trim levels Start, Active and Travel, costing from 904.9 thousand rubles. Toyota Rav4 and Kia Sportage are recognized as the main competitors.
