- Hyundai has released pricing for the new 2024 Kona, which starts at $25,435.
- Prices are up significantly for the turbocharged N Line and Limited models, which now start at $31,985 and $32,985.
- There’s also a Kona Electric, but we don’t yet know how much that will cost.
The new 2024 Hyundai Kona is bigger than its predecessor, and so is its starting price. The new model starts nearly $2000 higher than before, with a base SE coming in at $25,435, a $1960 increase from the smaller 2023 Kona. Hyundai says the 2024 model will be arriving at U.S. dealerships this summer; the Kona Electric, which is also redesigned for 2024, will arrive later in the fall and we don’t yet have pricing for the EV.
The SE and the $26,785 SEL model both come with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four producing 147 horsepower and paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. There’s an even bigger price bump for the upper trim levels, the N Line and the Limited, which come with a more powerful 190-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four engine. The N Line costs $31,985, a $2800 increase over last year, and the Limited starts at $32,985, a $2700 increase from before. The turbo models swap out the previous seven-speed dual-clutch automatic for a traditional torque-converter eight-speed automatic.
Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is a $1500 option across the board. As before, FWD models have a torsion-beam rear suspension while AWD models have an independent multilink setup.
The only notable option package is a $2200 convenience package available for the SEL that adds features including a digital gauge cluster, heated front seats, wireless charging, a power driver’s seat, and several driver-assistance systems. There are also a few extra-cost paint options including a $450 two-tone color scheme for the N Line that’s available in red, white, or gray with a black roof.
We haven’t yet driven the new 2024 Kona to see how it stacks up against the old model from behind the wheel, but stay tuned for our review soon.

Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
