“Hyundai’s all-new Kona is really raising the ‘cool factor’ in the CUV segment,” said Michael Harley, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book. “The Kona was given a healthy dose of modern style and the clean crisp cabin is filled with a bevy of connectivity and advanced safety features that make it stylish yet functional.”
Kelley Blue Book editors awarded the Kona for being “good-looking” and “exciting to drive.” The 2018 Kona comes equipped with cutting-edge connectivity, class-leading safety features and sharp, modern design that appeals to urban adventure-loving drivers.
Also earning honors on the “Coolest New Cars Under $20,000” list is the Elantra GT. With a low, wide and long design, the 2018 Elantra GT has an aggressive stance and interior volume. Based on the i30 model designed for the European market, “the all-new Elantra GT expands the Elantra lineup, adding a dose of likable style and five-door versatility to the mix,” according to Kelley Blue Book.
“Customers expect cars in this price point to be mediocre and without the style or performance that make driving fun,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Making the “cool car” list with two models from our line-up shows that Hyundai doesn’t sacrifice on comfort and design, or cut corners when it comes to providing customers with a reliable and exciting drive at a reasonable price.”
