We just bought a Limited FWD Kona.
I was wondering what are the two plastic pegs on the floor between the passenger seat and the door opening.
I’m posting mobile and I don’t see how to posted a picture of it.

pegs?

Looks like a cosmetic part should snap over the two pegs. Is there anything in same spot on drivers side (like gas cap or hatch release)? If so, maybe the car is produced for both L and R hand drive, and in either case a cosmetic piece covers up the un-used side.

I don't have a KONA, yet.....so can't look at mine.

My guess would be that it could be for the floor mats to hold them in place. Though I don't know why they would extend so far beneath the seats.

It looks like that but there is nothing on the driver's side to "match" it.

No, not for floor mats...this is on the side between the door plate and the side of the seat...it is just kind of odd.

What trim is your Kona? I dont see them on mine.

There is a gas door release on the left side that is very close in position to those pegs. I agree with Dezlboy that it's likely there for right hand drive models.

I have the Limited model

I will double check, but pretty sure on the left side/drivers side the gas cap lever is up ahead of the seat. This is between the front and back seat mounts.

I have a new Ultimate, just checked, no pegs.

Not 100% but I think that is for the factory subwoofer.

 

[Bebop]

no, the sub is in the back.

 

[theartcoach]

Not in the same place as the gas level for a alternate version. Not for the subwoofer LOL or the floor mats.

plastic pegs

I think they are for the factory sub woofer

After asking one of the service managers in Beaverton OR, he stated since all the models are of one concept and build meaning no variations it would be a design for the European model having the steering wheel on the right and could be for an additional safety or equipment since it is 2 small bolts that are attached to the body.

I was back a the dealer for oil change (and my wife got a Tucson) and I asked our very informed salesman about the pegs. He hadn't noticed them. He said it was not for the sub or a European style steering or the gas lever. All the others in the showroom had them (so that baffles me that no one else has them on here) but he said he would try to find out what their purpose is.
