Used 2018 Hyundai Kona Ultimate SUV For Sale In Valdosta GA

The Hyundai Kona is powered by one of two different 4-cylinder engines. The base 4-cylinder engine displaces 2.0L and sends power to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Making 147 horsepower, this engine gives the Kona enough grunt to feel nippy, while also returning up to 33 mpg on the highway. Higher trim levels of the Kona come with a more powerful, but smaller engine, displacing 1.6L. The smaller engine makes 175 horsepower with the help of a turbocharger. Power is again sent to the front wheels, this time via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Kona isn't trying to conquer the roughest terrain in the world, but it does offer decent ground clearance and anyone who wants all-wheel drive can have it with either drivetrain choice for an additional $1,300.
The Kona comes in one of five different trim levels, starting with the SE. Hyundai has a lot of experience building smaller, less expensive cars that still feel pretty nice and part of their secret is having lots of features for the money. The SE is no exception and standard equipment includes a 7-inch LCD touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities, a rearview monitor camera with dynamic parking lines displayed on it, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth controls built in, LED daytime running lights, alloy wheels, remote keyless access, automatic headlights, power door locks and windows and a 3.5-inch multifunction display.

The Kona SEL adds bigger 17-inch alloy wheels, a blind spot warning system that includes rear cross-traffic alert, heated front seats, a push button starter with a proximity key, SiriusXM satellite radio, heated side mirrors, a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, automatic windows and an illuminated vanity mirror.

The Limited trim comes standard with the bigger engine and nicer transmission. It also gets bigger 18-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlights and taillights, front fog lights, leather seats, automatic temperature control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and some exterior brightwork around the grille.

The Ultimate trim sits at the top of the Kona line. The Ultimate trim comes equipped with a head-up display, a forward collision avoidance assist system, a lane keep assist system, an 8-inch LCD touchscreen with navigation, a high beam assist system, rain sensing wipers, an automatic garage door opener, parking sensors, an Infinity sound system with 8 speakers and a subwoofer, a bigger 4.2-inch multifunction display, wireless device charging and three years of Hyundai's Blue Link connected car services program. The Ultimate trim still starts well below $30,000 at just $27,400 and includes so many features as standard that Hyundai doesn't even need to offer any optional equipment packages for the trim.

The Hyundai Kona is a brand new car from Hyundai. It occupies the lowest rung in the Hyundai Crossover and SUV lineup, offering up a smaller, more economic alternative to the Tucson. With funky styling and a wheelbase short enough to be able to parallel park easily, the Kona is perfect for city dwellers looking for a daily driver that can also handle the occasional rural picnic.

The Hyundai Kona competes with other ultra-compact SUVs and crossovers, such as the Chevrolet Trax and the Ford EcoSport. With a base price comfortably short of $20,000, the Kona offers far more style than is normally offered in the class, while also leading the way in technology with tons of safety and convenience options to offer. Hyundai continues to offer one of the best warranties in the business, with a 5-year unlimited warranty plan as well as a 10-year powertrain warranty.
