Hyundai Motor Company has released teaser images of its upcoming new Kona and Kona N Line SUVs. The new Hyundai Kona 2021 line-up adorns the brand’s new Sensuous Sportiness global design language.
The Hyundai Kona 2021 comes with a wider stance and a shark-inspired front fascia, which makes it look sleeker and sharper. The updated model is fitted with newly styled daytime running lights. It also gets new front skid plate and revised bumper. It gets a new front grille with a bold garnish that extends to merge the sharp points under the high-placed DRLs. The lower bumper area and headlamps have also been redesigned. The rear design is yet to be revealed, but it is likely to receive revised bumper and tail-lamps.
For the first time, the Hyundai Kona range will receive the N Line sporty variant. The teaser reveals that the N Line variant gets more aerodynamic design with low-set air dam and more aggressive front bumper, complemented by corner fins and lean crease lines.
If media reports are to be believed, the Hyundai Kona N Line will receive an updated 1.6-litre Smartstream engine that produces 214bhp of power. It is expected that the same unit will also power the future N Line modes including the i30 Sedan L Line.
The Hyundai Kona 2021 is also rumoured to receive a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car technologies. The current model is equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. The exact launch timeline of the Hyundai Kona 2021 and the Kona N Line will be announced in the coming weeks. In India, Hyundai is selling the electric version of the Kona SUV. The company has no plans to launch the regular petrol and diesel versions of the SUV in our market.
