2025 Hyundai Kona SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Hyundai Kona is a small crossover SUV available in SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line S, N Line and Limited trim levels. Hyundai also offers an electric version of the Kona, which we discuss in our separate Kona Electric review. A 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is standard with the SE and SEL trims, and it powers the front wheels using a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The N Line S, N Line and Limited benefit from a 190-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. An all-wheel-drive system is optional with all trims. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Kona's significant features and options.
Which Kona trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest looking at the SEL trim. We think that midlevel model represents the best value of the range because it's affordably priced and gets you a good selection of features for the money. If you have a little extra money in your budget, we'd recommend stepping up to the SEL Convenience trim level that includes adaptive cruise control, a digital instrument display, onboard navigation, heated seats and more.
