The infotainment system will likely run on Hyundai's new Pleos Connect platform, built on Google's Android.
Physical controls will be retained for essential functions, and practicality should improve thanks to the larger footprint offering more passenger and cargo space.
Powertrain and Platform
Depending on the market, powertrain options may include a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter, a turbocharged 1.6-liter, and a self-charging hybrid 1.6-liter, available with front- or all-wheel drive.
Hyundai might also keep a fully electric variant and potentially add a range-extender setup.
Reports suggest the Kona and Creta lines could merge into a single global model, and the underpinnings may be shared with the next Chevrolet Tracker as part of an agreement with General Motors.
