Kona is Hyundai's most widely-recognized EV and has been doing the rounds in several international markets, including India. The company may now be looking at not just making this EV more capable in terms of how it performs and its drive range but also how it appeals to buyers in terms of design changes. The teaser images of the new Kona reveals an EV with a wider stance and a shark-inspired nose which seek to give it a sleeker look. The DRLs seem to have been upgraded to make it look more cutting-edge while front skid plate and bumper lend a tougher styling cue.
Hyundai also gave a glimpse into what the first-ever Kona N Line could look like and the EV is clearly focusing on having a more aerodynamic design philosophy. It gets an aggressive front bumper, window-slit air intake and corner fins along with sleek body crease lines.
