Is the 2023 Hyundai Kona Good for New Drivers?

Whether you’re a new driver yourself or you’re shopping for a new driver, choosing a first car can be challenging. When thinking about what makes a great vehicle for a new driver, most experts recommend a vehicle that’s budget friendly, safe, easy to drive, and filled with tech features. Here at Kearny Mesa Hyundai, we have a wide variety of vehicles that fit into this criteria, and one standout is the 2023 Hyundai Kona.

Upgraded Small SUV

The 2023 Hyundai Kona is a compact SUV that’s efficient, safe, and surprisingly spacious on the interior. The base SE trim comes well equipped with features, and it boasts a low starting MSRP of just $21,990. It comes standard with the following driver-friendly features:

• Four-cylinder engine good for 147 horsepower and 32 miles per gallon combined
• Wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®
• Forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection
• Eight-inch color touchscreen display audio

Loaded with Innovation and Technology

The technology in the cabin of the new Hyundai SUV will both entertain new drivers and keep them safe. While an eight-inch color touchscreen display comes standard, you can also upgrade to a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen that displays navigation, important vehicle information, and entertainment.

New drivers will also love the class-exclusive Hyundai Digital Key, which turns your smartphone into a car key. Use it to unlock your vehicle, start the engine, and more. You can even share it with family and friends by texting it to their compatible phone.

Finally, make sure that your devices stay charged with the available wireless device charging. Simply place your Qi-compatible device on the charging pad for simple charging behind the wheel.
