The new standard Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies (listed below) on the Kona add additional protection for drivers and passengers. For example, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist utilizes radar to help detect another vehicle and warn the driver of a potential collision. If the driver does not react to avoid the impact, the system may apply emergency braking.

New standard (all trim levels) Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Lane Keep Assist
  • Driver Attention Warning

In addition to the standard safety equipment, all trims get an additional front USB charging port and soft touch front door armrests and inserts.
