Almost a year after showcasing the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid in Brazil, the South Korean brand confirms the arrival of the crossover in the national market in April. In its second generation, the new Hyundai SUV will come in the HEV version, combining gasoline and 100% electric motors. Thus, the hybrid SUV aims to compete mainly with the Toyota Corolla Cross and Song Pro, with prices that challenge other Asian models.

The new Hyundai SUV will reach the Brazilian market in Signature and Ultimate configurations. Both configurations of the hybrid SUV offer five color options: Atlas White, Abyss Black Pearl, Ecotronic Matte Gray, Metallic Cyber Gray, and Pearl Gray.

Additionally, the interior of the rival to the Corolla Cross and Song Pro can have black or gray finishes. In the statement, the South Korean brand claims that the model will have specifications and measurements that position it strongly in the higher categories.

According to Hyundai, the new hybrid SUV rival to the Corolla Cross and Song Pro has received an A rating for fuel consumption from Inmetro. The combined power is 141 hp, while the maximum torque is 27 kgfm.
