There are a lot of rumors about the next-gen Hyundai i30 and Kona. One of the rumors said that Hyundai will kill the i30 nameplate and will launch a next-gen Kona crossover that will be bigger and will take place of the i30. This is the first time that we can be in front of the next-gen Kona (codenamed as SX2). According to our industry sources, the development of the new Kona was advanced 1 year.
Hyundai Motor’s KONA(SX2) test vehicle that will be unveiled in the middle of next year.
It’s bigger than the first generation and provides a wider space.
The brand will dispense with the diesel version, which will compensate with the HEV and PHEV. The most basic options will be associated with the new 6-speed iMT intelligent manual gearbox and the most powerful with an eight-speed automatic , these with all-wheel drive. A new generation that will go on sale in the first half of 2024 , but that we will see before the end of 2023.
