The new 2018 Hyundai Kona 2018 subcompact crossover has attracted a lot of interest since its world premiere last summer. We first tried exclusively in South Korea, after which he made his North American debut in Los Angeles in November. Following its Canadian release in Montreal before this year, the last piece of the puzzle that still lacks the prize. Now we have this for you.
Available for pre-order now, the Kona will start at just $20,999. Its 4-cylinder, 2.0 L engine generates 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque in a 6-speed automatic transmission. The popular device includes a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and heated front seats.
The 2018 Hyundai Kona will also be available with a 1.6 L turbo engine, starting at $27274. This edition produces 175 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque running with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
It should also be noted that the Kona will be the next Hyundai vehicle in Canada to be supplied with the Blue Link telematics formula. The formula is easily available via buttons on the rearview mirror, internet or smartphone app, and provides features like a remote start, air conditioning, Google local search, remote door lock/unlock, a vehicle search app and advanced roadside assistance. Blue Link will be included in The Ultimate versions and will be activated during the first five years of possession.

Hyundai Canada also announced that it is expanding the Hyundai Express Shopping virtual platform to include a logo broker across the country. This platform allows buyers to plan and complete their vehicle purchase seamlessly online.
The existing platform, now available on Hyundai Canada’s online corporate page, provides consumers with a structure and value module and allows them to request an assessment of their exchange vehicle at their local Hyundai dealership, request approval of financing or lease credits, and even make an appointment at the dealership of their choice. This spring, Hyundai dealers will be able to integrate the Hyundai Express Shopping virtual platform into their own online page to provide their consumers with a more convenient and personalized online car shopping experience.
Hyundai will be the first automaker to allow its dealers to conduct online retail transactions in Canada, with a virtual shopping cart and the ability to pay at the checkout online.
