As Nigerians await what would become the nation’s first ever locally assembled and commercially available Electric vehicle (EV), talking about Hyundai Kona, Hyundai Motor Company on Wednesday shared a glimpse of its upcoming new KONA and KONA N Line, both Sport Utility Vehicles( SUVs), which, Motoring World learnt, are coming to express the automaker’s sensuous, Sportiness global design identity.
Though not much detail so far were released, from a brief statement on Hyundai’s website, it is obvious that the upcoming model is set to unleash to the auto world a stance and Sleeker identity.
Judging from the front view of the teaser photo released, the new KONA is coming with a wider stance and a shark-inspired nose that gives the model a sleeker look.
Also expected would be upgraded daytime running lamps (DRL) as well as Front skid plate and bumper, which give it a high-tech, sophisticated style and also add to its armored appearance respectively.
This time, Hyundai is rolling out the first KONA N Line model, which gets a more aerodynamic design with low-set air intake and more aggressive front bumper, complemented by corner fins and lean crease lines.
While auto lovers await what could become another EV bang and a complement to the popularity of the first Kona model, Hyundai has expressed an optimism that, in addition to an attractive entry point to the N Brand, the new N Line model should expand Kona’s appeal to a broader range of customers.
Meanwhile, according to Hyundai, more design details on the new Kona and Kona N Line will be revealed in the coming weeks.
