prices and specifications for the Hyundai Kona have now been revealed, and UK buyers will be provided the Korean firm’s Nissan Juke rival from £16,195 when it goes on sale in Britain early in November.
At launch, buyers will be restricted to turbocharged petrol models only: A 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit with 118bhp lines up alongside a perkier 1.6-litre four-cylinder with 175bhp and a seven-speed manual gearbox feeding power to an all-wheel-drive system. A new generation 1.6-litre four-cylinder diesel powertrain will be added to the line-up within a year of launch, with either 113bhp or 134bhp. The much more powerful diesel option will be provided with all-wheel-drive too.
