Life is full of ups and downs. Fortunately for Hyundai KONA drivers, your SUV is prepared to handle whatever situation comes its way, thanks to the standard integration of selectable drive modes. Each mode comes with its own set of parameters. For example, when Sport mode is selected, you’ll experience a more responsive commute.

As for amenities, both SUVs have available:
- 8-way power driver seat
