Another new teaser for the Hyundai Kona has been
handed down today, revealing a new full-frontal angle of the upcoming compact
SUV. This latest shot shows more of the Kona’s stacked headlight design.
The Kona, named for the coastal Hawaiian region, was
first announced earlier this month. Set to be launched globally in the months
ahead, the Kona was initially presumed to be bound for a New York motor show
debut. The new compact SUV will sit below the Tucson in the Korean
manufacturer’s local line-up, going toe-to-toe with rivals like the Mazda CX-3,
Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR.
The Kona name also continues Hyundai’s (mainly US)
tradition of naming its SUV and crossover models after acclaimed travel
destinations – Creta, Santa Fe, Tucson and Veracruz to name a few.
