Two New Trims Join the 2026 Hyundai Kona Lineup
The 2025 Kona had too many trims to count. If you found the arrangement of options a tad overwhelming, you’ll be glad to know that your trim selection has been consolidated for the new model year.
The 2026 Kona no longer comes in the previous SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line S, and N Line trims. That doesn’t mean there’s less to enjoy. It’s just become easier to enjoy more at once.
Take a look at these new trims available for the 2026 Hyundai Kona in Bedford, OH:
Kona SEL Sport
Scaling up from the base model now introduces plenty more features than before. The 2026 Kona SEL Sport is defined by thrilling style with glass black mirror covers and a gloss black rear spoiler. Drivers in Bedford also get a tech upgrade in the SEL Sport trim with a convenience wireless device charger and comforts like heated seats and dual automatic temperature control.
Kona SEL Premium
Everyone loves luxuries, and those luxuries feel even better when under $30k. The 2026 Kona SEL Premium is a popular choice in Cleveland, OH, for its high-end features at an attainable $28,550 MSRP. Comfort is greatly elevated with power seat adjustments and lumbar support on H-Tex premium leatherette. Soft-touch dash and door panels rein in an upscale atmosphere enhanced with mood ambient lighting.

Enhanced Automatic Braking is Standard
Every new car has some version of automatic braking, but Hyundai’s systems are renowned for operating on comprehensive awareness and acute responsiveness for extra safety measures. Such enhanced systems used to be an optional expense. Hyundai has a special surprise for you this year:
Automatic Braking with Intersection and Oncoming Driver Assistance is now standard on the new 2026 Hyundai Kona in Bedford, OH.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go Has Also Become Standard
The free upgrades keep on coming. Many 2025 Hyundai models (like the Kona) came with the base adaptive cruise control system as the standard setup. Now, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go comes with every 2026 Hyundai Kona trim available near Cleveland, OH. The added stop-and-go function reduces fatigue during rush hour traffic.
