What Makes the 2020 Hyundai Kona so Compelling?

The 2020 Hyundai Kona comes in five trim levels: SE, SEL, SEL Plus, Limited and Ultimate. The first three models are powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower and is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Limited and Ultimate models come with a peppier turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine that, paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivers 175 horsepower. No matter which trim you choose, though, the Kona delivers nimble handling and a fun driving experience. In terms of efficiency, both powertrains earn an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 30 combined mpg, but the base engine drops city mpg from 28 to 27, and the turbocharged engine drops highway mpg from 33 to 32.
