Its focus on practical power means fewer stops at the gas station, while the front-wheel drive system keeps handling light and responsive.

Safety is a key differentiator for the Kona SE, as it includes standard active safety equipment that often costs extra on other models in the segment. Systems such as ABS and standard cameras offer functional support during parking and emergency maneuvers, ensuring greater peace of mind for drivers. While some competitors may require upgrades for similar safety technology, this SUV builds a reassuring baseline for everyday protection without additional cost.
