Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader of a Korean car blog, here is a glimpse of the upcoming all-new 2023 Hyundai Kona.
This photo gives us our first glimpse at the all-new 2023 Hyundai Kona.
Posted by Jose Antonio López from The Korean Carblog, the spy photos show what appears to be a small Hyundai SUV with a futuristic design being transported on the back of a truck.
Interestingly, the rear of the 2023 Hyundai Kona clearly bears resemblance to the front of the current 2022 Hyundai Staria – with a single, slim brake light punctuating its rear-end design.
Also visible are strong, ‘geometric’ bodylines, suggesting its design could also be angular and faceted like the current 2022 Hyundai i30 Sedan. Either way, the styling seems to a bold move and in-line with the brand’s current design direction.
The blog post also mentions that it “had the chance to get a picture with the passenger door open” where it claims it saw “the design of the door interior” and that the “Kona prototype was benchmarking against a Volkswagen T-Roc.”

It’s expected the 2023 Hyundai Kona will continue to offer petrol, hybrid and electric models when it comes to Australia later next year.
Overseas reports suggest a global reveal of the all-new Hyundai Kona could happen in early 2023, and a sporty N-Line model will remain the revised line-up with an uprated version of the current 146kW/265Nm 1.6-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
It remains to be seen whether we’ll get a second-generation 2023 Hyundai Kona N however.
The all-new 2023 Hyundai Kona will be the South Korean brand’s second attempt at a small SUV.
It is also expected to debut the platform due to underpin future models from Hyundai and Kia – including the 2023 Kia Seltos due to be revealed in 2023.
