• Infotainment: 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Which Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?

The 2026 Hyundai Kona offers these trims:

• SE: The entry trim brings the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a strong standard safety suite, making it the value-focused starting point.
• SEL Sport: This trim adds a more upscale look and sits above SE for buyers who want extra style without moving to the top of the range.
• SEL Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, plus the eight-speed automatic.
• Limited: The top trim adds the most upscale cabin feel, the 12.3-inch configurable digital driver display, and available tech such as the surround-view camera system and Remote Smart Parking Assist.

What Hyundai Kona do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Kona years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.
