The 2022 Hyundai Kona is sized just right for most families. Although the Kona may be classified as a subcompact model, it promises to provide great everyday comfort.

2022 Hyundai Kona Trim Levels in Centennial CO

Subcompact crossovers are among the most popular and best-selling vehicles in America, and that trend continues to intensify. It is not hard to appreciate the appeal. Crossovers deliver the practical nature of an SUV but with all the conveniences of a car. That said, one of the common criticisms levied against CUVs is unrefined driving experiences. That is where the Hyundai Kona comes in. Available at our Hyundai dealership serving Centennial Denver Littleton Aurora, the Kona delivers an elevated riding position but real responsiveness, ride comfort and, lo and behold, a fun driving experience. Those familiar with the previous Kona models will notice that there are fewer trim levels this time. Hyundai has opted for four tightly configured 2022 Hyundai Kona trim levels that you can personalize to you.

SE Trim

The base Hyundai Kona comes standard with a 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that makes 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an intelligent variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but active on-demand all-wheel drive is optional. Standard exterior features include 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic projector headlamps and LED daytime running lamps. The cabin features air conditioning, cloth seating surfaces, a 60/40-split folding and reclining rear seatback, a dual-level cargo floor, an 8-inch color HD touchscreen and dual front USB outlets.

SEL Trim

The SEL is the second of the 2022 Hyundai Kona trim levels and arguably one of the best values in the segment. It is aimed at the average consumer, and it adds many of the most popular options to the base SE package but at not much additional cost. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are standard with the SEL trim as are heated outside mirrors, rear privacy glass, a shark-fin antenna and roof side rails. Proximity key with push button start and remote engine start is also standard. Other cabin upgrades include satellite radio, and you can opt for a wide range of additional cabin enhancements via the Convenience package, which is standard with the N Line and Limited trim levels. Standard driver assists include forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist and safe exit warning.

N Line Trim

Hyundai uses the N Line badge to refer to performance-oriented versions of its vehicles, and this is the point in the Hyundai Kona lineup in which you are upgraded to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission mated to a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine that makes 195 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive remains standard, and all-wheel drive remains optional. Unique exterior elements for this trim include N Line badging, unique N Line front and rear fascias and a twin-tipped exhaust. Cabin upgrades include N Line sport seating surfaces, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, three-step heated front seats, eight-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, alloy sport pedals and red and gloss black interior accents.
