After what seems like years of teaser and leaks the first official pictures of the Hyundai Kona have been revealed, and we finally get a proper look at what Hyundai’s new challenger to the Nissan Juke looks like.
So, what is the Kona like? Well, a lot like the Ioniq, Hyundai’s take on the Toyota Prius – a more conservative version of the trailblazing original, but not without its charms. The exterior design, for one, does a good job of walking a fine line between two extremes of the subcompact SUV market: the extroverts (Nissan Juke, Toyota C-HR) and the dull-but-worthy cars (Honda H-RV, Buick Encore/Opel Mokka X). Yes, the details are a bit overdone, especially at the front, and the rear looks rather similar to the Mazda CX-3, but overall the car looks nicely different to the rest of the Hyundai range, and benefits from a nice, wide stance.
