2026 Hyundai Kona in Lebanon, TN

When you enter the 2026 Kona, you’ll feel like it’s bigger and better than ever. The redesigned interior has seating for five and provides supportive front seats. The standard cloth upholstery is comfortable, while the higher trims add some premium touches, such as leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Another highlight of the Kona is its cargo space. The 2026 Kona has 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and almost 63.7 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. This provides more than enough space for groceries, luggage, or outdoor activity equipment. Its wide-opening tailgate and low load floor help make the Kona a practical vehicle for busy families and active lifestyles.

The 2026 Kona’s exterior design is bold and futuristic. Slim LED headlights and taillights give it a distinctive look, while sharp lines and rugged cladding make it stand out from the crowd. Compared to earlier models, the new Kona has a wider stance and a longer wheelbase, which adds to its presence on the road.

Wheel sizes range from 17-inch alloys on entry-level trims to 19-inch designs on higher trims, giving shoppers plenty of ways to customize the look. Roof rails are available for carrying bikes, kayaks, or extra cargo, making the Kona as practical as it is stylish.

Available exterior colors include:

• Abyss Black Pearl
• Serenity White Pearl
• Ecotronic Gray Metallic
• Ultimate Red Metallic
• Mirage Green
• Atlas White
• Denim Blue Pearl

The 2026 Kona gives buyers two gas-powered options, depending on how much performance they want:

2.0-Liter MPI-Atkinson 4-Cylinder

• 147 Horsepower / 132 lb-ft of Torque
• Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT)

1.6-liter Turbocharged-GDI 4-Cylinder

• 190 Horsepower / 195 lb-ft of Torque
• Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission

The Kona’s suspension tuning results in a light feel when navigating corners, but it still feels well-rounded. If you venture to the upper trim levels that offer AWD, you will feel more secure handling in Tennessee’s unpredictable weather or fun adventures down a dirt road.

Depending on your engine and drivetrain option, EPA estimated fuel economy for the Kona will range from 26 mpg to 31 mpg combined, making it one of the more efficient and competitive compact SUVs.
