2026 Hyundai Kona Price in the Tri-Cities, WA — All Trims, All MSRPs

If you’ve been searching for the Hyundai Kona price in the Tri-Cities, WA, you’re in the right place. The 2026 Hyundai Kona arrives with a refreshed and simplified trim lineup, two engine options, and a starting Hyundai Kona MSRP of just $25,500 — making it one of the most accessible and well-equipped compact SUVs on the market. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or upgrading from an older vehicle, here’s a full breakdown of every trim, its price, and what you get.

What’s New for 2026?

For 2026, Hyundai streamlined the Kona lineup by dropping the SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line S, and N Line trims. In their place are two new grades: the SEL Sport and SEL Premium. The result is a cleaner, easier-to-choose lineup with four well-defined tiers. Every 2026 Kona also comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense safety technology and a 12.3″ digital gauge cluster — features that would cost extra on competing models.

2026 Hyundai Kona Trim Levels & Starting MSRP

Kona SE From $25,500 (FWD) · $27,000 (AWD)

2.0L 4-cyl · 147 HP · CVT · Entry-level

The most affordable way into the 2026 Kona — and it comes better equipped than you’d expect. Standard features include a 12.3″ touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the full Hyundai SmartSense safety suite (forward collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert), 17-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights. A strong choice for budget-conscious buyers who still want modern technology.

Kona SEL Sport New for 2026 From $26,825 (FWD) · $28,325 (AWD)

2.0L 4-cyl · 147 HP · CVT · Sport styling

New for 2026, the SEL Sport adds a sporty edge to the value-focused SE. Upgrades include 18-inch alloy wheels, proximity key with push-button start, heated front seats, wireless device charging, gloss-black exterior styling accents, and roof rails. A great middle-ground for buyers who want everyday practicality with a little extra personality.

Kona SEL Premium New for 2026 From $28,425 (FWD) · $29,925 (AWD)

1.6L Turbo 4-cyl · 190 HP · 8-speed Auto · Turbocharged engine

This is where the Kona makes a notable step up — the SEL Premium upgrades to the turbocharged 1.6L engine (190 HP, 195 lb-ft torque) and an 8-speed automatic transmission for a noticeably more spirited driving experience. It also adds H-Tex® seating surfaces, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The Edmunds editors recommend this trim as the sweet spot for most buyers.

Kona Limited From $34,920 (FWD) · AWD available

1.6L Turbo 4-cyl · 190 HP · 8-speed Auto · Top of the lineup

The fully loaded Kona. The Limited adds heated and ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, a premium Bose® sound system, a power panoramic sunroof, a hands-free smart liftgate, a 360-degree surround view monitor, and available ambient interior lighting. For drivers who want a premium SUV experience without a premium price tag, the Limited delivers everything.
