A compact SUV with a racer's heart
Drive a Kona N
The Kona N delivers hot-hatch thrills in a compact SUV footprint. Hyundai's N performance division built it around a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, so this Hyundai rental pairs real punch with room for five.
On Turo, you book your Kona N from a local vehicle owner, then choose pickup or delivery in the app. Pick your dates, compare listings, and take the wheel on your schedule.
Kona N specs
Horsepower
276 hp
Acceleration
0-60 mph in 4.8 sec
Weight
3,340 lbs
Fuel economy
23 mpg combined
Turbocharged power with an overboost button
The Kona N's turbo four makes 276 hp and 289 lb-ft of torque, and N Grin Shift temporarily boosts output to 286 hp. An eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission snaps through the gears, with paddle shifters when you want full control. Launch Control helps you leave the line cleanly from a stop.
Corner-carving handling
The Kona N turns winding paved roads into the best part of your trip. Its N Corner Carving Differential, an electronic limited-slip differential, helps put power down as you exit a bend. Quick-ratio steering responds to small inputs, so you can place the car precisely.
An electronically controlled suspension keeps the body composed through curves. Grip comes from 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires, while 14.2-inch front brake rotors scrub off speed before the next turn. Save the fun for a twisty coastal route or a paved mountain pass — that's where this setup shines.
Everyday SUV practicality
The Kona N still works as a daily driver once the fun is done. It seats five and offers 19 cu ft of cargo space — enough for weekend bags, a cooler, and a camera kit.
A 13.2-gallon tank and 23 mpg combined help stretch the miles between gas station stops. Fill up with premium fuel, the recommended grade, before you set out. Heated front seats take the edge off chilly mornings, so early starts on a weekend trip feel a lot less brisk.
Stand out with a Kona N
The Kona N gives you performance-car excitement in a practical SUV body. It's a strong pick for weekend getaways on scenic paved roads, test-driving before you buy, or trying an N car as an enthusiast. Want to weigh it against other options?

Top Kona N features
N Grin Control System drive modes
Three details set the Kona N apart: N Grin Control System drive modes, a variable exhaust with distinct N sound, and track-inspired cockpit tech.
The N Grin Control System lets you shape the Kona N's personality to fit the drive. Choose from five modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, N, and Custom. Each one adjusts the engine, exhaust note, stability control, and steering feel.
Normal and Eco keep things relaxed for commutes and highway miles. Sport and N sharpen the car's responses for winding paved roads. Custom lets you mix and match settings to suit your mood — say, a quieter exhaust paired with weightier steering.
Variable exhaust and N sound
The Kona N's variable exhaust system changes character as you switch drive modes. In the calmer modes, it keeps a lower profile for early departures and quiet neighborhoods. Switch to a sportier mode, and the exhaust takes on a more pronounced tone.
It's a small detail that adds personality to every drive. You hear the engine more clearly as you work through the gears, which makes the paddle shifters more engaging to use. When you want a quieter cabin again, just switch back to Normal.
Track-inspired cockpit tech
The Kona N's cabin borrows ideas from the racetrack. A 10.25-inch digital cluster shows N performance displays, plus a shift timing indicator that signals when to grab the next gear. It keeps key information right in your line of sight.
A 10.25-inch touchscreen sits alongside the cluster, and Bluelink adds connected-car services. Finishing touches include an N leather steering wheel and N metal pedals. Together, they make the cabin feel purpose-built from the moment you settle into the driver's seat.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Kona N
Get to know your Kona N
A little prep helps you get the most from your Kona N trip. Here's what to know about the car, the drive, and the cost.

Kona N driving tips
Fill up with premium fuel, the recommended grade, and return the car with the same fuel level you started with. N mode firms up the ride, so switch to Normal or Eco for highway cruising.
Save N Grin Shift for short bursts, like merging onto a freeway. Keep every drive on paved roads.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
