2022 Hyundai Kona interior

The Hyundai Kona hasn’t been around for as long as other models, but the Kona is a popular choice among drivers looking for the spaciousness of a small SUV with the driving dynamics of a car. It’s bold, practical, and just makes sense.

But apart from the sleek exterior styling of the Kona, there’s one other place it excels: value. A long list of standard and optional features makes the Kona one of the top choices for a subcompact SUV. And with a starting MSRP of $22,595 and an optional electric powertrain, it also ticks the affordability and environmentally-friendly boxes.

Why do we love the 2022 Hyundai Kona interior? Stacked against other subcompact SUVs, the Kona might not be jaw-dropping, but it prioritizes value mixed with simplicity and convenience. Let’s take a look.

Seating

If you’re looking for a solid subcompact SUV that offers more room than a hatchback or sedan, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the 2022 Hyundai Kona.

Although it’s not the most spacious of the bunch, the Kona offers quite a bit of room for the driver and front passengers. But the rear quarters can be a bit cramped, especially for tall people with long legs. There is, however, a good amount of space under the front seats for feet.

The rear seats offer a 60/40 folding split-bench seating that, when flattened, provides a decent amount of cargo space.

There are plenty of other features in the 2022 Hyundai Kona as well:

Height-adjustable driver's seat

Automatic climate control (Convenience Package)

Leather-wrapped steering wheel (Convenience Package)

Heated front seats (Convenience Package)

Power-adjustable driver's seat (N Line, Limited)

Upgraded cloth upholstery (N Line)

Leather upholstery (Limited, N)

Sport seats with extra bolstering (N)

Tech

When it comes to tech features, the 2022 Hyundai Kona isn’t running short. It’s a feature-rich vehicle with plenty of standard and optional tech that’s functional and works well. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration come standard on all trim levels, and the touchscreen infotainment feature system is user-friendly and intuitive.

If you’re looking to maximize your tech experience, there are several available upgrades and packages to suit your fancy. Here’s what you can look forward to on most trims of the Kona:

8.0-inch touchscreen (10.3-inch available)

Six-speaker audio system

Remote engine start

HD and satellite radio

Heated mirrors

Keyless entry and ignition

For buyers who want more, the Convenience Package unlocks a sunroof, automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and wireless charging capabilities.

Or opt for the Tech Package on the

N-Line

Limited

, or N and access more features, like LED headlights and taillights, an eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, an upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, and adaptive cruise control.

Where technology is concerned, the 2022 Hyundai Kona offers a lot of value. Regardless of what model you choose, it is well-equipped with many optional features that can enhance your driving experience and safety.

Storage

For drivers upgrading to the Kona from a hatchback or sedan, the space is a big win—but for drivers downsizing from a larger SUV, the Kona can feel a bit cramped. Even still, the low liftover height and a wide load floor make the trunk accessible and easy to use, with 45.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats.

But compared to other compact SUVs, like the

Chevrolet Trailblazer

and

Volkswagen Taos

, the Kona falls short. Though it did manage to hold 14 carry-on suitcases.

That said, there are plenty of nifty places for small items, like water bottles (door pockets) and cellphones (a special tray in the front). Although storage space is decent, you’ll find more in competitors.

Style

Nothing is boring about the 2022 Hyundai Kona. With a newly revamped exterior style that carries over into the interior, the Kona is the perfect blend of clean, simple, comfortable, and convenient.

While it may not be the most exciting vehicle on the market and certainly doesn’t touch on luxury, it’s a solid pick for drivers looking for an affordable, semi-spacious, and fuel-friendly subcompact SUV.

If you’re really looking for performance and comfort, the Kona N-Line has sporty pretensions, but the Kona N is where true Kona performance lies.
