Bye bye Kona – Hyundai's impressive local SUV range is one less
Not all vehicles sell well when it enters the local market. And automakers aren't afraid to cut their losses when these models don't sell over a certain period . The Volkswagen Arteon sedan and Mercedes-Benz X-Class bakkie are just some of the examples that come to mind locally.
On the other hand, some have also reached their production lifespan, and a completely new offering is ready to take its place. Hyundai South Africa has confirmed that the Kona range has been discontinued, although customers can still purchase available stock from dealers nationwide. The Kona N, however, is still for sale locally as a brand-new model.
In case you forgot, the Kona N employs a turbocharged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine with outputs of 206kW and 392Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
