Hyundai Kona Iron Man Edition: Marvel-themed Superhero Utility Vehicle confirmed for Australia

Wannabe Avengers will be rejoicing this morning with news Hyundai’s Marvel-themed Kona is coming to Australia, with the limited-run edition scheduled for a Q1 arrival.

The Kona Iron Man Edition is based on the top-spec Highlander model, though it will miss out on some of that trim's fruit. Instead, the superhero SUV features a smattering of special features that will have Tony Stark fans swooning.

The paint work is called “Red Armour”, for example, while the wheels are “Iron Grip” 18-inch alloys. There are Iron Man emblems on the front wings, and two more that are illuminated by the puddle lighting when you first unlock the car, as well as two Stark Industries logos in front of the rear tyres.

Not enough? There’s also a huge Iron Man decal on the roof, and even the LED DRLs have been reshaped to more closely mimic the lights in Tony Stark’s helmet. Inside, the seats are embossed with the Stark Industries logo, with Iron Man himself imprinted on the backrests. When you turn the key, the instrument cluster and tachometer both use Iron Man’s Arc Reactor as a background screen.

Expect the Iron Man edition to arrive in limited numbers in the first quarter of 2019, with local pricing yet to be confirmed.
