The 2024 Hyundai Kona has arrived, and it's undergone a complete makeover. This compact crossover has always been known for its practicality and affordability, but now, it's got a fresh new look. The Kona N Line, priced at $32,000, packs a punch with 190 horsepower and sporty design cues that try a bit too hard to impress. Inside, the cabin surprises with its high-quality materials and advanced tech features, making it a pleasant place to spend time.

Under the hood, the Kona offers a range of engine options, including a powerful electric version for those seeking a greener ride. The back seat provides unexpected legroom, although it lacks the sporty touches found in the front. Cargo space is decent for a vehicle of its size, with some clever storage solutions to make the most of the available room. Behind the wheel, the Kona N Line offers a good mix of power and technology, delivering a compelling driving experience for its price point.

Hyundai has always been known for offering great value, and the Kona is no exception. Packed with features like adaptive cruise control and a user-friendly infotainment system, this crossover punches above its weight in terms of technology. While the sporty touches in the N Line trim may come off as a bit gimmicky, the overall package of the 2024 Hyundai Kona makes it a strong contender in the compact crossover segment. With its blend of practicality, affordability, and modern features, the Kona proves that you don't have to break the bank to get a well-equipped ride.
