Heres a clear look at why you might choose to buy a new 2026 Hyundai Kona SEL Premium AWD especially compared to lower trims or alternative small SUVs: 1. More Powerful, Fun-to-Drive Engine The SEL Premium trim comes with a 1.6 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces about 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, significantly stronger than the base engine in lower trims. This gives you quicker acceleration and a more responsive feel on the road. 2. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) for Better Traction Opting for AWD means better handling and traction in rain, snow, and slippery roads great if you live in a region with varied weather. AWD also comes with a multi-link rear suspension that can improve ride comfort and stability. 3. Tech & Infotainment Upgrades The SEL Premium adds notable interior technology you dont get on lower trims: 12.3 digital instrument cluster, matching the large infotainment screen for a cohesive, modern dashboard. 12.3 touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. Connected features like Bluelink telematics, USB connectivity, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates so the cars software can improve over time. 4. Comfort & Convenience Features This trim includes: Power-adjustable drivers seat (often with lumbar support) for better daily comfort. Upgraded upholstery and interior accents giving a more premium feel inside. 19 alloy wheels for a more confident look and slightly firmer handling. 5. Strong Safety & Driver Assistance Even at base levels, the Kona lineup comes well-equipped with Hyundais SmartSense safety suite (adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, automatic emergency braking, etc.). You keep those advanced safety systems in the SEL Premium, often with enhanced functionality. 6. Hyundais Excellent Warranty Buying new means you benefit from Hyundais industry-leading warranty coverage, including: 5 years / 60,000 miles basic warranty 10 years / 100,000 miles powertrain warranty Roadside assistance and anti-corrosion coverage This gives peace of mind for long-term ownership. 7. Balanced SUV Size for Everyday Life The Kona is compact but practical, making it easy to park and drive around town, while offering usable cargo space and passenger comfort. The SEL Premium finds a sweet spot between affordability and desirable premium features.
