Say what you will about the Hyundai Kona, but it's certainly doesn't look like your run-of-the-mill crossover. That can be both a good or a bad thing depending on where you stand on its quirky design. Having been around since 2017, with a facelift launched in late 2020, it's only natural our spies have now immortalized a prototype of the next generation undergoing testing.
The second-gen Kona was seen in Sweden riding on Autec wheels rather than an OEM set, which isn't necessarily a rare sight, but a bit unusual nonetheless. It's no longer Hyundai's cheapest crossover in Europe where the Bayon has taken the role of the entry-level high-riding model. They're both roughly the same size, but our spies are telling us the vehicle pictured here is bigger. It might mean Hyundai wants to separate the two and avoid a potential overlap that could cannibalize sales.
