2021 Hyundai Kona N

The latest Hyundai Kona N comes as no surprise as we continue to see a sports orientated model filling the Hyundai range on a regular basis.  More power, better stability and ride comfort, and great all round small-family SUV practicality give the new Kona N-Line a potential leg-up over the competition.

There are two Hyundai Kona models with the N-Line spec, the Premium N-Line boasting a few more high-end features.  The N-Line detailing does give both Kona N lines a bit of a lift, adding a thicker side skirt, lower front air dam, wider wheels and N-Line badging, which all has the N models looking their best.  Inside, the N-Line décor is lovely.

Expect to pay around $40k for a new 2021 Hyundai Kona N-Line Auto AWD.  The small 5-Door SUV rides great and offers decent transport for all sorts of commutes.  It has only just finished its recent freshen up, so with the revised 2021 looks, AWD for N Line versions, a new independent multi-link rear suspension, and you have yourself a great drive.  There is definitely a better ride quality over the previous model, thanks to the new independent rear suspension, and the premium N-Line seating does make you feel well looked after riding inside one of these small SUVs.

Hyundai Konas that are not N-Line use a smooth 110 kW/180 Nm 2.0-litre motor, which, in itself, is a great match for these rides.  However, with the N-Line models you get a smaller motor in terms of it being a 1.6-litre petrol, however the Turbo creates more power and torque making it a lot quicker and more responsive.  There is 146 kW of power and 265 Nm of torque on tap with the 1.6-litre turbo, and all the power is delivered analytically through the AWD, seven-speed dual-clutch powertrain.

The cheaper of the two Hyundai N-Line AWD SUVs has a loaded equipment list.  Premium paint is really the only option.  There are handy techie features inside an N-Line cabin, so you’ll find the automatic climate control, GPS, 12V sockets for auxiliary accessories, the 8-speaker stereo with amplifier, audio auxiliary inputs, keyless start, a proximity key fob, wireless charging, Bluetooth communications and electric windows a rather nice start.  You get a premium sound and DAB+ radio quality, along with Smart Device Integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  You also get a smart multifunction display screen and a multifunction steering wheel.  The headlamps are auto, and the hill holding system makes for easy getaways without any embarrassing moments as you set off from a mate’s place who lives on a steep slope.  But really, that’s just the start of it.

Hyundai’s Kona SUV was revised in 2021 with new looks and a changed model line-up that includes base front-drive Kona, Active, Elite, Highlander and the very desirable N-Line and N-Line Premium models. AWD is now only available on N Line versions.

This is one of those modern small SUVs you like to be seen driving.  Top and direct competitors include the Volvo XC40, Subaru XV, Skoda Kamiq and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, all of which are excellent vehicles and worth a shout out.  The choice is yours!
