Looking for a Hyundai Kona near Plainfield, IN? At Ray Skillman Southside Hyundai, we carry this compact SUV that brings bold style and modern technology together in a package that’s easy to park and fun to drive. The Kona has become a favorite among drivers who want something different from the usual compact SUV lineup.
The Hyundai Kona doesn’t try to blend in. Its unique front fascia with the continuous LED light bar makes it instantly recognizable, while the sculpted body lines give it a more athletic stance than you’d expect from a vehicle this size. Whether you’re running errands around Plainfield or heading to Indianapolis for the day, the Kona makes the drive more enjoyable.
We offer the Kona with two different powertrains, so you can pick the one that fits how you drive. The base 2.0-liter four-cylinder puts out 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission that keeps acceleration smooth and fuel economy strong. If you spend most of your time commuting or running local errands, this engine delivers the efficiency you want without feeling underpowered.
Step up to the N Line or Limited trims, and you get a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that changes the character completely. With 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque working through an eight-speed automatic transmission, the turbo Kona feels quick when you need to merge or pass. The turbo also brings available all-wheel drive, which helps when Indiana weather turns difficult. Front-wheel drive comes standard across the lineup, keeping the price accessible while still delivering confident handling on dry roads.
Inside, the Kona greets you with a pair of 12.3-inch displays that work together as your digital cockpit. The left screen handles your gauges and driver information, while the right screen manages navigation, music, and smartphone features. Both are clear and responsive, with menus that don’t require you to dig through multiple layers to find what you need.
Wireless smartphone integration means you can connect your compatible device without fumbling for a cable, and wireless charging keeps your phone powered up on longer drives. Higher trims add ambient lighting that lets you customize the cabin atmosphere, while features like heated seats and a heated steering wheel make cold Indiana mornings more bearable.

Every Hyundai Kona comes equipped with a full suite of safety technology that actively helps prevent accidents rather than just protecting you during one. Forward collision warning watches the road ahead and alerts you if it detects a potential impact, while automatic emergency braking can intervene if you don’t react in time. Lane-keeping assist helps you stay centered in your lane during highway drives, reducing fatigue on longer trips.
Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability maintains your set distance from the vehicle ahead, even in heavy traffic where speeds fluctuate constantly. Blind-spot monitoring alerts you when vehicles enter your blind spots, and the system can even provide a camera view of your blind spot on the center display when you activate your turn signal. These features work quietly in the background until you need them, giving you extra confidence without feeling intrusive.
Despite its compact footprint that makes parking easy, the Kona offers more interior room than the previous generation. Rear passengers get an extra 31mm of legroom, which makes a noticeable difference on longer trips. The cargo area holds your weekly groceries or weekend camping gear without trouble, and when you fold the rear seats down, you unlock significantly more space for larger items.
The Kona’s design prioritizes accessibility. The ride height puts you in a comfortable position without requiring a big step up, and the rear hatch opens wide for easy loading. Whether you’re hauling home improvement supplies or helping a friend move, the Kona handles it without feeling like you’re fighting against a vehicle that’s too small for the job. Visit us today to experience the space for yourself.
We’re located just a short drive from Plainfield on US-31 in Greenwood, making it easy to stop by and see the Kona in person.
