KONA N
Our high-performance SUV.
Why adventure and fun both have "N."
The first SUV to wear an N badge—KONA N just may be in a class of its own. As a high-performance compact SUV, it’s capable of handling the nastiest corners at Nürburgring. As a highly practical SUV, it’s just capable, period. And it’s got all the goods that make every N a rush to drive—from customizable drive modes to the signature crackle-and-pops of the exhausts.
Handling
Double hairpin turns. Double the smiles.
Whether you’re on the track or on an errand, KONA N has driving dynamics that are both more exciting and sure-footed.
While cornering, the eLSD distributes more power to the outer wheels. This maximizes turning speed and traction while reducing understeer.
The bigger rotors and high-friction brake pads help maximize heat endurance. Combined with the pre-fill brake function, they give KONA N more stopping power
14.20-inch front rotors are not available on or .
The 235/40 R19 Pirelli P-Zero summer tires are mounted 19-inch dark alloy wheels for optimal grip and lateral stability.
The ECS continuously adjusts its damping force according to road conditions, speed, and your driving characteristic for enhanced handling stability and control.
Exhaust notes
Music to your ears.
Who needs caffeine? The high-flow active sport exhaust belts out energizing crackles and burbles from the dual large-bore exhaust tips. You can also select a different exhaust character that matches your driving mood.
N exterior
Hot off the track.
When it comes to looks, the curve-loving KONA N is ahead of the curve. Which means its SUV profile is stylishly modified with aggressive features and accents exclusive to N vehicles.
N interior
Where velocity meets versatility.
Combining clean, modern styling with N-exclusive design, the roomy interior is the perfect spot to experience all the driving action.
Configure yours
It hauls and not just because it’s an SUV.
Hit the track with a 2.0L turbocharged GDI engine with 276 hp and 289 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s mated to an 8-speed wet DCT, which has both paddle shifters and rev-matching for smoother, more responsive shifts.
10.25-inch touchscreen
Now this is a driving game.
The 10.25-inch infotainment screen makes your drive feel even more like a real-life driving game. Not only does it have the custom drive mode menu and performance data like g-force, it’s also got a lap timer. And it has a clean, easy-to-read interface for navigation plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
10.25-inch digital cluster
Gauges that engage.
The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster does more than just tell you how fast you’re going. It displays crucial performance information like oil temperature, boost pressure and so much more. And it invigorates your experience with vivid animations and color themes for each drive mode.
Now it’s personal.
Everyone has their own unique preferences when it comes to driving. And KONA N caters to your whims with hands-on features that give you more control over performance elements. With a push of a button or the touchscreen menu you can do a number of things from customizing your drive mode to getting a 20-second surge of power.
