The Hyundai Kona is a subcompact five door crossover SUV designed by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai that was shown for the first time in June 2017. The production version made its debut later that year.
A battery electric version, with a 200 to 250 mile range, is expected to be released in Korea in 2018, with a market debut in the United States likely in 2019.

Naming
The Kona is named after the western district of the island of Hawai'i.
Alternative names
The car will be sold in Portugal as the Hyundai Kauai, as Kona is too similar to cona, the taboo slang word for the female genitalia in Portuguese. Like Kona, Kauai is a western island of Hawaii.
In the People's Republic of China, the car will be released as the Hyundai Encino.
