      The new standard Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies (listed below) on the Kona add additional protection for drivers and passengers. For example, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist utilizes radar to help detect another vehicle and warn the driver of a potential collision.

      New standard (all trim levels) Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies:

      • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
      • Lane Keep Assist
      • Driver Attention Warning

      In addition to the standard safety equipment, all trims get an additional front USB charging port and soft touch front door armrests and inserts.
