Hyundai has introduced the 2025 Kona to Saudi Arabia as one of the most popular compact crossovers for young drivers and families alike. With a fresh design, upgraded features, and multiple engine choices including hybrid options, the Kona aims to deliver everyday practicality with a modern and sporty edge. Local dealers Al Walan, Al Majdouie, and Al Naghy are now offering the 2025 model, making it a strong contender in the crowded compact SUV segment.
The Hyundai Kona 2025 arrives with a bold new look that reflects Hyundai’s latest design philosophy. At the front, it features a wide grille topped by a full LED light strip that gives it a futuristic identity. Slim LED headlights flank the hood lines and add an aggressive touch, while the bumper gains a stronger presence with sharp sculpted surfaces.
From the side, the Kona shows off its sleek proportions with flowing body lines that add a three dimensional dynamic feel. Buyers can choose between 17 or 18 inch alloy wheels depending on the trim, along with options like a power tailgate with internal lighting. Higher trims also benefit from the N Line package that adds sporty black accents, a rear spoiler, and red interior touches.
The Kona 2025 measures 4,350 mm in length, 1,825 mm in width, and 1,580 mm in height, riding on a 2,660 mm wheelbase. Its youthful character is highlighted with vibrant color options including Mirage Green, Ultimate Red, and Soltronic Orange alongside classic tones like Pearl Black and Atlas White.
Step inside the Hyundai Kona 2025 and you will find a cabin that is both modern and practical. The interior is more spacious than the previous generation thanks to the longer wheelbase, offering comfort for five passengers. Depending on the trim, seats are upholstered in premium cloth or leather, while N Line models gain Alcantara with red stitching for a sportier atmosphere.
The driver enjoys a fully digital 12.3 inch instrument cluster paired with a 12.3 inch infotainment touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other highlights include an eight speaker sound system, automatic dual zone climate control with rear air vents, wireless phone charging, and a panoramic sunroof on higher trims.
Practical touches such as heated and ventilated front seats, power adjustable driver seat, and a heated steering wheel elevate daily driving comfort. Hyundai has also integrated remote parking through the smart key system, making city driving easier.
The Kona 2025 is offered with two powertrain options. The first is a 2.0 liter four cylinder gasoline engine producing 147 horsepower and 179 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT automatic transmission and front wheel drive. This setup provides a fuel economy rating of 17.8 km per liter, making it efficient for everyday commutes.
The second option is a hybrid powertrain that combines a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine with an electric motor to deliver a combined output of 150 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six speed dual clutch transmission, offering smooth performance with outstanding fuel economy of 26.9 km per liter.
This variety allows buyers in Saudi Arabia to choose between affordable gasoline efficiency or hybrid technology that saves more at the pump while offering a refined driving experience.
Hyundai Kona 2025 is available through official dealers with several trims priced as follows:
Each Kona comes with a 5 year or 100,000 km warranty, whichever comes first.
In Saudi Arabia, the Kona competes with popular models in the compact crossover segment such as Toyota Corolla Cross 2025, Jaecoo J7 2025, and Citroen C5 Aircross 2025. While some rivals focus on ruggedness or premium flair, the Kona stands out with its balance of sporty design, efficient hybrid powertrain, and strong value for money.
