We have the Hyundai Kona for sale here at River City Hyundai, and we want to show you why it needs to be your next purchase. Once you’re ready to buy yours, you should come down to our showroom and pick out the Kona trim that gives you everything you want at a very affordable price. We’ll be happy to address any of your questions or concerns so that you’re excited about your purchase and ready to conquer the roads of Alberta.

For the Single Commuter

Let’s say you use your vehicle mostly for commuting, perhaps around Edmonton, perhaps to some of the businesses outside the city. Why does a crossover SUV like the Kona work for you? Well, it turns out there are plenty of reasons. To begin with, the 2024 Kona is quite fuel efficient with a 7.5 L/100 km combined rating; your stops at the gas station will be few and far between, letting you use your money on something more exciting.

Let’s say you're driving on Highway 2. You don’t want to struggle to get onto the highway, and you don’t want to feel like your vehicle has to put all its energy into just keeping up with others on the road. Fortunately, the Kona has an available 1.6L turbocharged engine that cranks out 190 hp, which is more than enough to have you rocketing down the freeway. When you add in its 195 lb-ft of torque, you’ll realize that your vehicle will have no issue with stability at high speeds, nor will it lag when coming off the highway entrance. Your ride will be smooth and relaxing, so you arrive at work ready to deliver your best.

If you’re a social person, you want your car to impress when you pull up to a get-together with your friends or drive out to Wabamun Lake for a fun afternoon. You’re in luck: the Kona makes a fantastic impression. It’s available in a range of colours no matter which trim you opt for, so it matches your personality. The build of the SUV itself is unique, with a low grille and wrap-around LED light bar at the front that makes it look like it has a mischievous yet imposing grin. If you really desire some sportiness, you can opt for the N Line trim, which has an athletic exterior and 48 cm alloy wheels that will catch everyone’s eye. You have options for different interior colours, too, so that you can set the exact type of vibe you desire.

For the Family Driver

The Kona is an ideal vehicle if you’re often driving your kids around Edmonton or bringing your family on vacations across the country. For one, it is an incredibly safe ride. The Kona comes with standard Hyundai SmartSense, a very intelligent safety system whose sole mission is to keep you and yours secure on your ride. Let’s take a quick glance at some of what it offers.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection keeps an eye out on what’s in front of you so that it can alert you if there’s a person or other obstacle ahead. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist lets you know if a vehicle or obstacle is approaching from the side when you are reversing; this system can even apply the brakes if necessary. These are just a couple of the many driver-assist features your Kona will provide so that you can travel without anxiety.

HTRAC All-Wheel Drive with active cornering control can add another level of security for you and your loved ones. If you’re concerned about driving in rain or snow in Edmonton or out on the highway, this system gives you more traction on the roads and a better sense of command, particularly on turns. Canadian winters can turn unpleasant, to put it lightly, but all-wheel drive will give you an extra boost of confidence when the weather turns nasty.

Of course, you tend to have a lot of luggage when you have a family. Luckily, this crossover SUV can handle quite a bit. Its cargo area is designed to ensure you can use every centimetre of space. There’s nothing more useless and frustrating than a poorly designed cabin that has lots of wasted space. The 2024 Kona comes with 723 litres of cargo room behind the rear seats and 1,803 litres of space with the rear seats folded. You can vacation around Canada without being concerned about the amount of luggage you’ll need. You can also drive around Edmonton with a bunch of athletic gear the kids need for their extracurriculars without being concerned about how you’ll fit it all in.

For the Adventurous

Whether you’re a single driver or usually driving family around, you probably have a desire for some adventure from time to time. Maybe your current ride doesn’t allow for it. Maybe you assume you need a large truck to explore Canada’s great outdoors. No, what you need is a 2024 Hyundai Kona. In addition to the excellent capability and outstanding cargo space, it is packed with infotainment features so that you can stay entertained if your next vacation involves a long trip to the mountains or coast. No one will be bored thanks to the Kona’s excellent speaker system and the fact that it can easily connect to your devices.

Hyundai’s BlueLink Connected Vehicle System links to your smartphone via an app so you can stay informed on your vehicle’s status and even signal for roadside assistance. All of this is important if you tend to travel off the beaten path. Even better, though, is the vehicle locator, so if you become separated from your ride, you can find it easily. No need to worry about being caught in a Blair Witch Project situation if you’re out camping: this Hyundai SUV will always have a beacon to get you home, thanks to BlueLink.

In terms of a specific trim, more adventurous drivers may want to check out the Preferred with Trend Package, which comes with standard all-wheel drive and roof rails. This allows you to get more storage out of your ride and is great for bringing bikes or kayaks to nearby parks and lakes. A simple touch like this can make a world of difference for your social and outdoor life.
