Finding a crossover that seamlessly shifts from quick suburban errands to long-distance highway cruising requires a balance of efficient performance, flexible interior space, and agile dimensions. The 2027 Hyundai KONA delivers precisely that balance, standing out as an exceptionally adaptable compact crossover. Engineered with a driver-centric approach, this vehicle gives urban commuters and active adventure-seekers the versatility required for modern routines. Whether navigating tight parking spaces during a weekday routine in Kannapolis or loading up sports equipment for a weekend outing, the 2027 KONA handles diverse driving scenarios with confidence.
Inside, the 2027 KONA combines passenger space with flexible cargo capability. Split-folding rear seats allow drivers to expand the cargo area when additional room is needed for luggage, gear, or everyday supplies. Available technology, digital displays, and upgraded seating materials add comfort and convenience throughout the cabin.
Capability is another highlight of the 2027 KONA. HTRAC All Wheel Drive is available across the entire lineup, giving drivers the option of additional all-wheel-drive capability while retaining the KONA’s compact dimensions and available fuel-efficient powertrains.

The 2027 Hyundai KONA offers two distinct powertrain options engineered to match different driving styles and dynamic expectations. Entry configurations, including the SE and SEL Sport, come equipped with a smooth 2.0L MPI Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 132 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a standard Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) on both trims.
The SEL Premium and Limited step up to a 1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 195 lb-ft of torque from 1,700 to 4,500 rpm. Hyundai pairs this engine with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters.
While front-wheel drive comes standard on every trim, Hyundai offers its intelligent HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system across the entire lineup. KONA models equipped with HTRAC All Wheel Drive also feature an independent multi-link rear suspension, while front-wheel-drive models use a torsion-beam rear suspension.
For genuine mechanical upkeep or accessory enhancements down the road, owners can rely on high-grade components directly from our specialized parts department at Modern Hyundai of Concord.
Selecting either the efficient Atkinson-cycle motor or the punchy turbocharged alternative gives buyers an ideal balance of power and control. Drivers interested in comparing previous model years can also browse our selection of pre-owned vehicles for sale at Modern Hyundai of Concord alongside the latest lineup.
Fuel efficiency remains a major consideration for drivers balancing busy weekday commutes across Cabarrus with weekend drives.
Front-wheel-drive models powered by the naturally aspirated 2.0L 4-cylinder engine offer the lineup’s highest EPA-estimated highway fuel economy, earning an EPA-estimated 28 MPG city, 35 MPG highway, and 31 MPG combined. Opting for all-wheel drive on these trims introduces additional road-gripping capability while delivering an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city, 29 MPG highway, and 27 MPG combined.
Selecting the upgraded 1.6-liter turbocharged engine provides increased power output while maintaining sensible fuel usage. In front-wheel drive configurations, turbocharged trims achieve an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city, 32 MPG highway, and 28 MPG combined. Drivers who pair the turbocharged powertrain with all-wheel drive can expect an EPA-estimated 24 MPG city, 29 MPG highway, and 26 MPG combined.
Preserving optimal fuel economy over thousands of miles relies on consistent routine maintenance. Certified technicians at Modern Hyundai of Concord utilize genuine manufacturer parts to keep your crossover operating at peak precision.

Selecting the ideal 2027 Hyundai KONA comes down to identifying which combination of performance, technology, and luxury fits your driving style. The lineup offers four distinct trims— SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium, and Limited—each tailored to provide exceptional value and equipment.
The SE serves as the well-appointed entry point. Powered by the 147-horsepower 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission, it comes standard with essential tech like wireless smartphone integration and key driver assistance systems. Stepping up to the SEL Sport adds distinct appearance enhancements and exterior styling cues while retaining the efficient 2.0L powertrain, making it a stylish choice for commuting through Harrisburg neighborhoods.
The SEL Premium introduces the 190-horsepower 1.6L turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It also adds upgraded cabin and exterior features, including H-Tex®-trimmed seating, ambient interior lighting, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
At the top of the lineup, the Limited combines the 190-horsepower turbocharged engine with additional comfort, convenience, and driver-assistance technology. Features include a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, hands-free smart liftgate with auto open, Surround View Monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist.
Before selecting your ideal trim, shoppers can value your vehicle trade-in at Modern Hyundai of Concord to apply maximum equity toward a new purchase.
Inside the cabin, the 2027 Hyundai KONA centers its interior experience around intuitive digital integration and user connectivity. The KONA features digital displays designed to keep vehicle information and connectivity within easy reach.

Standard wireless smartphone integration provides compatible Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity.
Drivers can also access Bluelink+ services to operate remote starting, door locking, and cabin climate preferences through a smartphone app, along with available connected services and eligible Over-the-Air software update capability.
Every 2027 KONA includes a range of Hyundai SmartSense driver-assistance technologies. Standard features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Cyclist and Junction Turning Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. These systems are designed to assist the driver and do not replace attentive driving.
Stepping up to the top trim level adds sophisticated parking aids designed for tight urban environments and narrow driveways. The Limited adds a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster along with advanced available-view and parking technology. Surround View Monitor provides multiple camera views around the vehicle, while Blind-Spot View Monitor can display a camera view of the corresponding blind-spot area in the instrument cluster when the turn signal is activated. Remote Smart Parking Assist can also assist with moving the vehicle into or out of certain parking spaces while the driver is outside the vehicle.
