It's not your imagination that new SUVs seem to be shrinking these days. It seems as if every carmaker is producing a version of a subcompact crossover that's meant to combine SUV style with the easy driving nature of a compact car. But leave it to Hyundai to take a popular trend like the small crossover and turn it on its head with genuine style, fun personality, and a treasure trove of available features. That's what they've done with the 2021 Hyundai Kona, and your local automotive professionals at D'Arcy Hyundai are excited to introduce you to it.

As an extra-small crossover, the Hyundai Kona blends everything our customers love about SUVs, including a versatile and spacious rear cargo hold that's accessible via a liftgate, with the characteristics of a compact car.

Inside the new Kona, you'll find comfortable seating for up to five people in two rows. Seats are well-crafted with cozy materials that retain their comfort even on long road trips, and there's plenty of headroom and legroom to keep your tallest friends happy.

2020 Hyundai Kona Advanced Safety Features
The Hyundai Kona provides Bolingbrook drivers with a range of advanced driver-assistance technologies, many of which are included as standard equipment. These features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Warns the driver of a possible impending collision and can apply automatic emergency braking if the driver cannot respond in time.
- Lane Keeping Assist: Senses when the vehicle begins to drift and warns the driver with an audible and visual cue. This system can even apply subtle corrective steering to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning: Provides a visual cue whenever a vehicle enters the Kona's blind spot.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning: When in reverse, this system monitors for vehicles approach from the left and right, so the driver knows when it is clear to back up.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: This radar-equipped system maintains a set cruising speed. When a leading vehicle is detected, it holds a pre-determined follow distance. If the leading vehicle is going slower than the set speed, you can change lanes and the system will automatically accelerate to the pre-set speed and hold it until another leading vehicle is detected.
- Automatic High Beams: This system turns on high beams in very low light situations and automatically lowers them when oncoming or leading traffic is detected.
