• Preferred: This adds more visual polish and extra convenience, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers. If you want a stronger mix of equipment and price, this is the one to focus on.
• Preferred with Trend package: This version adds a power sunroof, digital key, leatherette upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, a wireless charging pad, and a proximity-activated power liftgate.

What Hyundai Kona do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Kona years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.
