CARS OF THE WORLD

Hyundai Kona 2023.

Hyundai Kona is one of the most outstanding crossovers of the Korean company.

Car enthusiasts speak inconsistently about this model because of its bizarre design. However, this SUV does not leave anyone indifferent.

There are pictures of the updated crossover Hyundai Kona.

Western media published pictures with a camouflaged Hyundai Kona crossover version of the 2023 model year.

The camouflaged vehicle was tested in snowy Sweden.

Whatever anyone says about Hyundai Kona, the appearance of this crossover definitely attracts the attention of all road users.

Having been on the market since 2017, the South Korean car received a small update at the end of 2020.

Now, Western publications have published photos with a prototype of a new generation of South Korean news, which is now being tested.

The test car was filmed in Sweden, and this car was fitted with Autec rims and a standard set of rims.

Hyundai has another crossover called the Bayon. Both of them are small crossovers from the South Korean brand.

They are also about the same size, but foreign journalists claim that the car captured in these pictures is clearly larger.

It is possible that Hyundai wishes to separate them and avoid the potential duplication of these vehicles.

The seen car was clearly equipped with a classic internal combustion engine, because this is indicated by the exhaust pipe, which was hidden under the bumper of the car.

When the new version of the crossover is available for purchase, buyers will be able to purchase both a plug-in hybrid and an all-electric version.

Part of what looks like a small tail light is visible through the mesh disguise.

We tend to believe that a separate cluster is installed below, similar to the current Kona.

Due to the rather dense disguise, Hyundai is unlikely to introduce a new Kona anytime soon.

And last year, the crossover survived a planned facelift. And now, a series of «spy» photos of the next generation Hyundai Kona 2023 appeared on the Web.

A prototype of the new generation Hyundai Kona, which is currently being tested, has been spotted by spy photographers in Sweden.

It is worth saying that the car is no longer the cheapest crossover of the Korean brand in Europe.

The role of the high-end entry-level model has been taken over by the recently debuted Bayon.

Both of these machines are about the same size. However, the prototype shown in the photo is clearly larger.

This may mean that the manufacturer intends to separate SUVs into different segments and avoid their duplication, which can lead to a decrease in sales.

The prototype being tested definitely has an internal combustion engine under the hood. This is indicated by an exhaust pipe hidden under the rear bumper on the passenger side.

Most likely, in the Kona lineup, as now, there will be Hybrid and EV modifications, which cannot be said about the Bayon, since it runs exclusively on gasoline.

Part of what looks like a compact taillight is visible through the mesh disguise. It can be assumed that a separate cluster is installed below, which is similar to the current model.

There are separate cutouts in the front camouflage, so it can be assumed that the Kona will still have separate head optics.

Contrary to current automotive trends, the updated grille appears to have been shrunk in size.

Spy photos showing the side profile of the SUV show slightly more angular wheel arches.

Since the car is covered with a very dense camouflage, its debut is unlikely to take place in the very near future.

It is assumed that the introduction of new items will occur at the end of 2022 or at the beginning of 2023.
