The Hyundai Kona will be launched in the US by mid-2017, and if brought to India it will go up against the Ford EcoSport and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza
A teaser image of a sleek headlight has been released by Korean manufacturer Hyundai, and we believe it to belong to the Kona compact SUV. The Kona is based on the 2014 Intrado concept, which inspired the Carlino Concept vehicle that we saw at the 2016 Indian Auto Expo.
If Hyundai do market this compact SUV in India, we guess it will be positioned between the i20 Active and the Creta, and be priced around Rs 8-10 Lakh. From here it would take on the Ford EcoSport, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Honda WR-V and Renault Duster. Expect the compact SUV space to heat up in the coming months.
