UK customers will get a choice of two petrol engines when the Kona goes on sale in November - a 1.0-litre three-cylinder, producing 118bhp and 175Nm of torque and a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 175bhp.
Engineers are also working on a 1.6 diesel with either 113bhp or 131bhp but this is not confirmed for the UK yet.
The smaller petrol engine gets a six-speed manual gearbox only, while the 1.6 comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
The chassis comes in two versions. Regular Konas will get a relatively simple and cheap torsion-beam rear suspension set-up, while four-wheel-drive editions - the higher-powered diesel and the 1.6 petrol, basically - offer a multi-link configuration instead.
Kona Engine Range
More power train options are likely to be added to the range later in the year including a high-powered diesel.
Optional four-wheel drive and seven-speed transmissions are also available on the new range. The save-speed clutch improves fuel consumption of CO2 emissions up to 20 per cent.
