The Kona Hybrid range comes with Hyundai’s SmartSense technology package as standard, which includes front collision warning, lane-keep assist, a driver fatigue warning, high beam assist and avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection ability.

Buyers can also spec Hyundai’s Intelligent Speed Limit warning and Lane Following Assist systems as optional extras. The former system uses the car’s front camera to identify changes to speed limits and notify the driver, while the latter works with the Kona’s automatic cruise control to keep the car in the centre of the lane with minimal driver input.

The Kona Hybrid also gets several interior styling revisions over its all-electric and conventionally powered siblings, with gloss black accents on the door handles and the steering wheel, white accents on the air vents and gear lever and a grey headlining.
