Brooklyn isn’t for the slow or the bland, and neither is the Hyundai Kona. The freshly styled 2025 and 2026 models have rolled into Hyundai City of Bay Ridge with a sharper look, smarter tech, and a playful edge that makes every trip—whether it’s two miles to your corner store or two hours upstate—feel like an adventure.

Think of it as the SUV that takes up just enough space to get noticed, but not so much that parking becomes an Olympic sport. Zippy, stylish, and ridiculously practical, the Kona was built for city dwellers who like their rides with equal parts function and flair.

The streets of Brooklyn can be tight—both literally and figuratively. The Kona slips through traffic like it knows all the shortcuts (and it just might, thanks to its smart navigation). Its nimble handling means weaving around double-parked trucks on 86th Street feels less like a headache and more like a quick dance move.

Whether you choose the peppy gas engine, the hybrid variant, or the all-electric Kona Electric, you get smooth acceleration, confident cornering, and the kind of control that makes parallel parking almost satisfying.

Don’t let the Kona’s compact footprint fool you—it’s surprisingly roomy inside. Up front, the cabin feels airy and modern, with clean lines and a driver-focused design. In the back, there’s space for friends, groceries, or that thrift-store dresser you swore you wouldn’t buy but couldn’t resist.

When you need more cargo room, the rear seats fold down to create a flat load floor. Suddenly, that “quick run” to IKEA isn’t so intimidating. And with an available hands-free liftgate, you can open the trunk even when you’re balancing a pizza box in one hand and your phone in the other.

The Kona isn’t just connected—it’s Brooklyn-connected. That means you’ve got the tools to navigate traffic, find parking, and keep your playlists pumping, all without fumbling with your phone.

 • Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ come standard, so your maps, texts, and music are always a tap away. Hyundai’s Bluelink^® app lets you lock, unlock, or even start your Kona remotely—great for warming it up on frosty mornings or cooling it down before a sweltering summer drive.

 • On the safety front, the Kona comes stacked: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Blind-Spot View Monitor keep you covered when the guy in the next lane decides to “borrow” yours.

From snow-slick Shore Road mornings to muggy August nights, the Kona has you covered. Available heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control mean you’re always driving in your comfort zone.

And thanks to the Kona’s smooth, quiet ride, even a crawl over the Brooklyn Bridge at rush hour feels a little less… rage-inducing.

 • SE – A solid mix of value and style.

 • SEL – Adds more comfort and tech for daily driving.

 • N Line – Sporty attitude with performance-inspired design cues.

 • Limited – Fully loaded luxury in a city-sized package.

 • Electric – All the Kona goodness, zero emissions.

It’s easy to see why the Kona fits in here. It’s small enough for city life, but it’s got the personality and versatility for spontaneous escapes. The bold styling looks right at home from Park Slope cafés to Coney Island’s boardwalk. And with Hyundai’s famous 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, it’s a worry-free commitment.

 • Early Morning Bagel Run – Slip into that prime curb spot outside your favorite deli, grab your sesame bagel with a schmear, and get back on the road before anyone else wakes up.

 • Brooklyn-to-Beach Dash – Load the cooler, toss the chairs in the back, and take the Belt straight to the sand.

 • Weekend Upstate – Pack your bags, cue your road trip playlist, and watch the city disappear in your rearview.
