2021 Kona Exterior
Hyundai's slit-eyed crossover looks like it's descended down from Mars, and that'll be a good thing for some and a dealbreaker for others. We personally like the unique look. The front end is home to LED daytime running lights across all trims, but LED headlights are reserved for the top two models. The same trend follows the taillights, with the top three trims being the only variants to get LEDs. The Night Edition adds gloss black side mirror covers and gloss black lower door trims. The entry-level SE spec is the only trim that doesn't get roof rails. Wheel sizes range from 16 inches to 18 inches, while certain trims are equipped with a power tilt-and-slide sunroof.

On all other trim levels, you'll have the choice between Ultra Black and Chalk White if you like sticking to basic colors. Sonic Silver and Thunder Gray will suit shoppers with a taste for elegance, but there are a few options for the adventurous. Pulse Red and Surf Blue cater to those who prefer bolder shades. The SEL trim is the only variant that gets access to two-tone versions of some of the shades. If you're opting for this model, you can choose a Sonic Silver and Black combination, a Pulse Red and Black combination, or Surf Blue with Gray.
