The automaker released a teaser sketch of the Kona, and said it gets a wider stance and new shark-inspired nose along with upgraded daytime running lights and a front skid plate. Hyundai said the new Kona N Line will wear a more aerodynamic design, with a low-set air intake as well as a meaner-looking front bumper.
Hyundai is injecting a bit of excitement into its lineup with the N Line models, and the Kona is the latest vehicle to get the sporty N Line treatment after the 2021 Elantra sedan. In a statement, the automaker said the new Kona N Line offers shoppers “an attractive entry point to the N brand and expands [the] Kona’s appeal to a broader range of customers.”
Check back for more details on both models in the next few weeks.
