Essential Trim: Great Value to Start
Starting off at $29,184* the essential trim is perfect if you’re looking for an affordable entry into the Kona lineup that still brings serious features. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre MPI DOHC 4-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, which offers a smooth, reliable drive whether you're commuting in Calgary or heading out for the weekend.
The cabin includes a large 12.3-inch touchscreen display audio system, heated front seats, and LED headlights and tail lights—features you don’t always find at this price point. Safety is a priority too, with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection included as standard.
You can also upgrade the drivetrain with available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and multilink rear suspension, a great choice if you’re dealing with unpredictable Prairie weather or rougher road conditions.
Preferred Trim: Everyday Comfort with Smart Tech
Starting at $31,684* the Kona steps up to the Preferred trim gives you all the Essential features plus a few extra perks designed to make daily driving easier and more comfortable. You get larger 18-inch alloy wheels, a heated steering wheel, and Adaptive Cruise Control with traffic stop & go, which is especially useful in busy traffic.
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system is enhanced in this trim as well, adding Junction Turning Detection, making it smarter in complex intersections. AWD is still available, giving you that added peace of mind when the roads get slick.
If you want something that’s still budget-conscious but feels a bit more premium, the Preferred trim strikes a great balance.
N Line FWD:Turbocharged Performance & Sporty Style
Starting at $38,684* its built for drivers who want more excitement behind the wheel, the N Line FWD delivers just that. It swaps in a 1.6-litre Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (T-GDI) engine that generates 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, giving the Kona a much more responsive and energetic feel.
This trim stands out visually too, with N Line-exclusive front bumper fascia and grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a wide-type power sunroof. Inside, it adds a 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster that brings a modern edge to your driving experience.
While AWD isn’t included on this trim, the sporty drive and upgraded tech more than make up for it if you're primarily sticking to the city or well-maintained roads.
Which 2025 Kona Trim Is Right for You?
The Essential trim is ideal for first-time SUV buyers or anyone who wants solid features at a great value. The Preferred trim adds creature comforts and extra driver-assist features that make it perfect for Calgary’s varied driving conditions. And for those who want a bit more thrill and style, the N Line FWD is ready to deliver with turbocharged power and sporty looks.
