New 2026 Hyundai Kona SEL

The strong points AWD gives added traction & confidence. The AWD version of the Kona is available across trims, including when you step up from FWD. In Wisconsin winters snow, ice, slush having AWD means better grip and peace of mind when driving in less-than-ideal conditions. Good value with the SEL trim plus AWD. The SEL (or in 2026 lineup the equivalent SEL Sport/SEL Premium naming) offers more features than the base, yet you're not in the top-end luxury pricing. Modern tech & convenience features. The Kona lineup for 2026 includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system even in lower trims. Safety/driver-assist features are quite comprehensive. Good interior dimensions for a subcompact SUV. The Kona's size makes it easier to maneuver, park, and use in city/suburban settings. If you don't need a large SUV but want something with decent versatility, the SEL AWD hits a sweet spot. Warranty & brand reputation. As with many Hyundai vehicles, strong warranty cover in the U.S.: e.g., 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Good for long-term peace of mind.
