Safety

Cruise control that not only maintains a speed, but also slows and even stops to meet a pre-set distance to the car in front.

Maintain a safe stopping distance with cars, bikes and pedestrians. First a warning will be sounded followed by braking intervention.

When driving at a speed of 30km/h or higher, the BCA function will alert the driver to vehicles that enter the blind-spot and will even provide intervention if required.

Having the right tyre pressure is more than just good for your tyres and fuel economy – it’s a safety issue too. The Kona’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) displays the pressure for each individual tyre on the instrument cluster, warning the driver if pressure drops.

In an emergency manoeuvre, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep you on track, while Hyundai’s Traction Control System (TCS) monitors your grip, reducing wheel spin so that you can accelerate on slippery or uneven road surfaces.

LED high beams and low beams automatically adjust to meet the needs of the environment and surrounds. (Limited model.)

SEW warns occupants both visually and audibly of approaching traffic whilst occupants are attempting to leave the vehicle. 

The Kona thinks of everything. To help with parking in tight spots, four ultrasonic sensors at the front (Elite only) and rear of the Kona are automatically activated when you select reverse, giving an audible warning if and where objects are detected.

A driver protection feature which helps monitor driving patterns in order to detect reckless or fatigued driving and prevent potential accidents. The system analyses various vehicle signals such as steering angle, steering torque, vehicle's positioning in the lane and driving time. If the system detects inattentive driving patterns, an audible and visual alert on the display panel will bring this to the driver’s attention. 

LKA/LFA keep you safely centered within the lane using its front view camera to monitor lane markers. On detecting an unintentional lane departure, a warning is triggered and, if necessary, LKA will automatically provide corrective steering input to keep you within the lane.

The usage of advanced high-strength steel alloy has been expanded to 51 percent of the body structure. To attain unprecedented levels of structural rigidity, critical components were fabricated using advanced hot stamping technology.
