Hyundai has teamed up with Marvel to create a
special edition of the Kona subcompact crossover called the Iron Man, which it
revealed last July at the San Diego Comic-Con show. Set to arrive at UK dealers from
March 1, it has a starting price of £ 27,995 and comes with
several special features that set it apart from normal version, both on the
outside and in the cockpit. Finished in Matte Grey with Red Armor, the Kona Iron Man Edition has
special ‘Iron Man’ emblems, red bonnet bezel with the ‘Marvel’ logo and special
18-inch alloy wheels, with a dual-tone look.
Exclusive styling details can be found in the
cockpit as well, where users will be greeted by the leather wrapped seats with
contrast stitching and piping, ‘Stark Industries’ embossing and ‘Iron Man’
image on the backrests, and a ‘Tony Stark’ signature on the dashboard.
The leather wrapped gear lever with red stitching
has special graphics, and so do the instrument cluster and tachometer. As a
final touch, the ‘Iron Man’ eyes are displayed during system check on the
supervision instrument cluster.
The Krell Premium sound system, an infotainment
system with 8-inch display, sat-nav, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, climate
control, heated and ventilated front seats and keyless entry are all standard
features. The equipment list also includes LED lighting units on the outside,
autonomous emergency braking, driver attention alert, blind spot detection,
lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert and downhill brake control.
Power comes from the 1.6-liter T-GDi engine, rated
at 177 PS, which works together with a 7-speed dual clutch
transmission and front-wheel drive.
