Spacious and Versatile Interior
The 2024 Kona Electric features a more spacious and versatile interior, emphasizing a new ergonomic layout.

The layout maximizes interior space, providing a versatile and comfortable environment for both the driver and passengers.
Ambient interior lighting options, correlating with drive modes, acceleration, or the driver's mood, add to the overall driving experience. The front seats are 30 per cent slimmer to enhance rear passenger legroom, and the second-row Curveless Bench Seat further improves available space. The two-stage latching system allows rear seat reclining, adding to the overall comfort.
Canadian Success Story
Since its launch in 2018, the Kona has been a resounding success in the Canadian market. The Kona was the best-selling vehicle in its class in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, consistently ranking among Hyundai's top three best-selling models in Canada since 2019. With over 100,000 units of the gasoline Kona and 20,000 units of the Kona Electric sold in Canada, the Kona remains a popular choice for Canadian consumers. In 2022 alone, Hyundai sold an impressive 24,579 Kona units across the country.
