The Highlander sits atop the Kona pile, above the mid-spec Elite and entry-level Active and Active with Safety Pack.
The Highlander ($33,000 - $36,000) gets the biggest 18-inch alloy wheels, a head-up display, heated and cooled front seats, LED headlights with high-beam assist, a heated steering wheel and a wireless charging pad for your (compatible) phone.
Hyundai's SmartSense safety package arrives as standard, too, adding blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, AEB with pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning and a driver-fatigue warning.
Like every Kona, the Highlander is available with two engine choices. The cheaper option is a 2.0-litre petrol unit good for 110kW at 6200rpm and 180Nm at 4500rpm. It will pair with a conventional six-speed torque converter automatic, sending its power to the front wheels.
Alternatively, you can spring for a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine producing 130kW at 5500rpm and 265Nm at 1,500rpm. It pairs with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and sends the power to all four wheels.
