Exterior

2021 Hyundai Kona 1.6 Turbo

The Kona Turbo will come with a two-tone body colour and roof rack which is exclusive to the 1.6 Turbo variant. The front end has also been redesigned with protective cladding panels, wide thin DRLs that do look quick striking, and a new distinctive centre grille. New tail lights at the rear feature horizontally stretched graphics. 

2021 Hyundai Kona 1.6 N Line

The Kona N Line on the other hand will come with the signature N styling all throughout the SUV, distinguishing it from its less racy sibling. Instead of skid plates found on the Kona 1.6 Turbo, the Kona N Line will come with an aerodynamic lip with low-lying corner fins for that stance. Larger air intakes with a unique mesh design and surface treatment will further help you tell apart the Turbo from the N Line.

The 2021 Kona N Line will also come with dedicated 18-inch alloy wheels that will be complemented by body colour claddings, a new rocker panel and a large central aerodynamic diffuser that will create a contrast with the body.
