Its motorsports-inspired front and rear end with body colour claddings are topped off with diamond-cut wheel design.
The interior features a dedicated N Line colour package in one-tone black leather combined with suede as well as a ventilated and heated seat function for the driver and the front passenger.
In addition, the distinctive red stitching, metal pedals and N logo on the gear shift, steering wheel and seats all contribute to a sportier look and feel.
Both the Kona variants come with Hyundai Smartsense active safety and driving assistance technologies that meet the highest European safety standards.
Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors managing director Low Yuan Lung said the company was confident that the Kona N Line would lead the B-SUV segment, not only with its looks and but also with its performance.
“There has been keen interest among Malaysian motorists on our N and N Line brands, so we foresee good response, especially for the sportier Kona N Line,” he said.
Both Kona variants are powered with the Smartstream G1.6 T-GDi, a turbocharged inline four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 198PS at 6,000rpm and 265Nm of torque from 1,600-4,500rpm.
The Smartstream engine offers dynamic performance with a smoother, more comfortable driving experience, reduced emissions and better fuel efficiency.
Transmission is the second generation Smartsteam 7DCT seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
