Spunky, agile, and fun to drive, the 2021Hyundai Kona is a great choice for those looking for a subcompact SUV. With an eye-catching exterior, innovative technology, and plenty of safety features, the Kona is an ideal car for drivers of all types. Let’s take a look at a few key features of the trim levels of the Hyundai Kona. 
SE
Get up and go with the zesty engine found under the hood of the SE. It’s a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive both ensure you have plenty of traction. Two rows of seats can fit five people and the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback gives you flexible cargo space. Features of the easy-to-use infotainment system include a 7-inch touch screen display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Safety features include lane-keep assist, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and a driver attention warning.
SEL
The same powertrain and drivetrain options can be found on the SEL trim. Building on the foundation of the SE trim, you’ll find features such as heated front seats, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The safety features that are equipped on the SE trim can also be found on the SEL, with the addition of a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert.
SEL Plus
You’ll find the same features on the SEL plus as the two previously mentioned trims. Additional features include an eight-way power driver seat instead of the six-way variation get on the two lower trims. You also get power lumber support on the driver’s seat. The audio system gets upgraded, so now you get eight-speakers instead of six. Tech features include wireless charging and the Blue Link connected car system.
Limited
Under the hood of the Limited is a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower and pairs with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that gives you fast acceleration and plenty of power. Most of the tech and safety features remain the same, but you do get leather seats and LED headlights and taillights.
Ultimate
The same powertrain runs the Ultimate, and the main upgrades you’ll find on this trim are an 8-inch touch screen with navigation and real-time traffic updates, a head-up display, and smart cruise control. The Ultimate and Limited trims have six color options as opposed to the seven available on the lower trims.
Night Edition
If you’re looking for an ultra-sleek Kona trim, choose the Night Edition. Not only will you get the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and the same features that you would find in the Ultimate trim, but you also get upgrades to the exterior. The 18-inch Rays semi-gloss black-painted wheels, aluminum pedals, and black trim throughout the exterior of the Night Edition make it stand out in a crowd.
Electric
With most of the same features as the other Kona trims, the electric version differs in that it has an electric motor with a 150 kWh 201-horsepower engine and a driving range of 258 miles.
