Depends on your situation and if you're in a rush then just get the initial model. The worst thing someone can do with buying a car is to keep waiting for the next latest thing, unless it really matters to you and will make a big impact in your experience.So that begs the question: grab one now or wait for the new powertrains that are supposedly coming soon....
Inital model for your region of course and even though North America will be getting these later there's no telling if it will come with the new powertrains on that initial launch. 1.6 is also preferred in my case due to how much cheaper it will be to maintain and get parts for down the road compared to newer powertrains.I was under the impression it was only on sale in Korea so far and the rest of the world won't be getting it until next year at the earliest. Of course I much prefer the 1.6-litre turbo, though price will play a part on deciding which model I'll ultimately go with.
From what it seem the Kona is leading the pack right now and will continue to with the powertrains they have planned. Electric is one of them and that will be a major shift in what Hyundai does. I just hopes this spreads far enough into other attainable and fun products. The Elantra being one of them.Seems like Hyundai is preparing something special for us... The vice president of product planning for Hyundai Motor Americ said, that they will introduce eight new or re-engineered crossovers by 2020, including the Kona."Pretty soon we are going to have the most diverse CUV powertrain lineup in the industry,". Can't wait to see it.
