There&#8217;s even an electric version for buyers who want battery power.<\/p>\n<p>The subcompact Kona has been with us since the 2018 model year, with a mild update introduced for 2022. New spy shots suggest that Hyundai is now working on a redesigned model.<\/p>\n<p>Judging by the prototype in our spy shots, the Kona&#8217;s redesign is likely to be more of a heavy update than a true redesign, as we can see that the outline of the doors is unchanged from the current Kona. Refraining from developing a new Kona from scratch makes sense as Hyundai, like most major automakers, prepares for a mostly electric lineup by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t clear what Hyundai has planned for the powertrains, but regular gas, hybrid and electric options should remain. The most powerful option in the current Kona is the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1130899_2022-hyundai-kona-n-price-specs-review-photos-info-video\">Kona N<\/a>, good for 276 hp and 289 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n<p>Look for the redesigned Kona to be introduced in late 2023 as a 2024 model. Note, the Kona is no longer the smallest Hyundai crossover. Below the Kona <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1122291_2020-hyundai-venue-is-korean-brands-smallest-suv-yet\">sits the Venue<\/a>, which Hyundai launched for 2020.
