If you’re a driver near Lafayette, Indiana, looking for a small SUV that can keep up with your day, the Hyundai Kona deserves a closer look. It’s fun to drive, loaded with smart tech, and fits right into that sweet spot between compact cars and full-size SUVs. At Ray Skillman Avon Hyundai, we carry a great selection of new Kona models and would love to help you find one that fits your lifestyle.
The Kona sits between the smaller Venue and the larger Tucson in the Hyundai lineup, and that’s exactly what makes it appealing. Redesigned and enlarged, the Kona brings more interior room than many of its smaller competitors, both for people and cargo. Whether you’re commuting to work, running weekend errands, or heading down to Indy for a day out, the Kona has the right mix of size and agility to handle it all.
We keep a strong Hyundai Kona inventory on hand at Ray Skillman Avon Hyundai. The Kona is available in SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium, and Limited trim levels. The SE and SEL Sport come with a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and CVT with front-wheel drive, while the SEL Premium and Limited step up to a 190-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is available on every trim. Browse our inventory online to see what’s on our lot, or stop by and take one for a test drive.
The Kona SE comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and push button start. Wireless Android Auto is also included across the lineup. That big screen is easy to read at a glance, and you won’t need to fumble with cables to get your phone connected. The system supports over-the-air software updates, so your maps and multimedia features stay current long after you drive off the lot.
Step up to the SEL Sport and you pick up wireless device charging, heated front seats, and a power driver’s seat. The SEL Premium adds 19-inch wheels and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The Kona Limited rounds things out with a hands-free power tailgate and a surround view monitor. An available Bose Premium audio system on the Limited gives your music a full, rich sound on every commute.
The Kona comes standard with a strong group of safety technologies. Lane Following Assist helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go adjusts your speed to maintain a safe following distance. Blind Spot Collision Warning alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots during lane changes. These aren’t locked behind higher trims. You get them right out of the box on the SE.
The Kona also earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which is a big deal in this size class. On the Limited trim, you also get a Surround View Monitor with a 360-degree view of your surroundings, along with a Blind-Spot View Monitor that projects a video feed of your blind spot directly into the instrument cluster when you signal.

Yes. Hyundai’s HTRAC AWD system is available on all trims. AWD models also get an independent multi-link rear suspension, which improves ride quality compared to the standard torsion beam setup on front-wheel-drive models. That’s a nice bonus if you’re dealing with Indiana winter roads near Lafayette.
The Kona offers 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Fold those seats down and you open up 63.7 cubic feet. That’s plenty of room for groceries, gear, or even a small furniture run.
The Hyundai Kona earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS, with the highest rating of Good in all three crash tests conducted and for its standard pedestrian front crash prevention system.
The turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower is standard on the SEL Premium and Limited trims, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
