Summary
2028 is now the target for Hyundai’s third-generation Kona, which is deep in development with a substantially redesigned exterior and a new cabin centered on the Pleos Connect display.
Spy shots show a boxier shape, sharper A-pillars and revised mirrors, while the front appears to keep split lighting but may replace today’s full-width light bar with pixel-style daytime running lights.
Hyundai is expected to move the Kona onto its newer K3 platform and offer combustion, hybrid and all-electric versions, with a range-extender variant also under consideration.
The latest sighting adds detail to earlier European test appearances that pointed to a wider, more upright Kona as Hyundai refreshes one of its key small crossover lines.
