Hyundai<\/a> unveiled the design for its next-generation KONA<\/a> models Monday. Rather than trying to make it look like another gas-powered car, the automaker introduced elements to incorporate the direction in which the auto industry is headed \u2013 toward electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hyundai goes bold with new EV-inspired 2024 KONA design<\/h2>\n

After its first dedicated electric vehicle, the IONIQ 5<\/a>, received high praise for its \u201cbold, futuristic\u201d design, Hyundai is carrying the EV look to its KONA model lineup.<\/p>\n

Hyundai introduced its first electric KONA in 2018 for customers in Korea and Europe<\/a>, opening US orders for the 2019 model. Although the electric KONA was redesigned last year, including a new front fascia, it still incorporated a minimalist look inherited from its gas-powered predecessors. <\/p>\n

The all-new Hyundai KONA takes the opposite approach, implementing an EV-first approach. Hyundai began with the EV variant to bring its modern elements to the entire lineup of KONA vehicles, adapting it for different powertrains options.<\/p>\n

\u00a0SangYup Lee, executive vice president and head of Hyundai Design Center, said<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\n

Upscaled with KONA\u2019s unique character, the all-new KONA confidently expresses its bold and dynamic presence. KONA has evolved in every respect to embrace an even wider range of diversity, to become a true lifestyle supporter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new KONA is slightly larger at about 4.25 m in length, making it 150 mm longer than the previous generation. In addition, it gained 25 mm in width and 60 mm in wheelbase length. <\/p>\n

The most distinct new feature is the seamless horizon lamp stretching the length of the vehicle\u2019s nose, giving it a bolder, more aggressive look than previous models. The electric Kona features a pixelated front light bar, a first from Hyundai, a 19-inch pixel-inspired alloy wheel design, and black embracing lines.<\/p>\n

Hyundai boasts a \u201cliving space\u201d interior providing practical features and a personalized in-car experience. A floating module and 12-inch wide displays give a high-tech appearance with added ambient lighting.<\/p>\n

More details for the 2024 Hyundai KONA are expected in the coming months, including pricing and powertrain specs. Stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

The new Hyundai Kona design is a significant upgrade, in my opinion. The updated \u201cEV-derived\u201d look gives it a dynamic, off-road feel to it.<\/p>\n

The bold, futuristic design incorporated into the IONIQ 5 paid off huge for them, so why not use elements of it in the KONA as well? Hyundai has become the fastest-growing volume brand<\/a> in the US in the past three years, behind only Tesla, for a reason. They are looking toward the future with their vehicles and giving consumers stylish options to choose from designed for the new era of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
