{ "image": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Hyundai_Kona_%28SX2%29_Washington_DC_Metro_Area%2C_USA.jpg", "generalInfo": "The Hyundai Kona is a subcompact crossover SUV named after the western district of the island of Hawai'i, continuing Hyundai's habit of naming its utility vehicles after travel destinations. It was revealed in Seoul in June 2017, shown to Americans at the Los Angeles Auto Show that November and reached U.S. dealers early in 2018 as a 2018 model. It slots between the tiny Venue and the compact Tucson, and it is sold as the Kauai in Portugal and, until 2020, as the Encino in China. Its natural rivals are the Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Mazda CX-30, Nissan Kicks and Chevrolet Trax.\n\nThe first-generation car (code OS, U.S. model years 2018–2023) rides on a B-segment platform derived from the Hyundai i30, with a torsion-beam rear axle on front-drive cars and an independent multi-link setup when all-wheel drive is fitted. American buyers got a 147-hp 2.0-liter Nu four with a six-speed automatic or a 175-hp 1.6-liter Gamma turbo with a seven-speed dual-clutch. A battery-electric Kona Electric joined for 2019 with a 64-kWh pack, 201 hp and 258 miles of EPA range. The global 2020 facelift arrived in America for the 2022 model year, swapping the base automatic for a CVT, lifting the turbo to 195 hp and adding both an N Line appearance trim and the 276-hp, 8-speed wet-DCT Kona N. The second-generation SX2 car followed for 2024 on the Hyundai-Kia K3 platform, roughly seven inches longer, with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic behind the turbo and a Kona Electric offering 48.6- or 64.8-kWh batteries.\n\nWhat the Kona has always done well is drive: sharp steering, a firm and eager chassis, and a huge amount of standard equipment for the money, backed by Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. What it gave up in the first generation was space — 19.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat and a famously tight back bench — which the second-generation car fixed with 25.5 cubic feet and about an inch more rear legroom. Across the U.S. run, output spans 147 to 276 hp, gasoline economy runs from 23 to 32 mpg combined, the Electric returns 116–120 MPGe with 200–261 miles of range, and base prices have climbed from $19,500 in 2018 to nearly $35,000 for the short-lived Kona N.", "priceRange": "$25,350 - $34,150", "insuranceCost": "$1,950 / yr (avg)", "resaleValue": "61% after 5 yrs", "towingCapacity": "Not
