Quick answer: The 2027 Hyundai Kona pairs a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and makes wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto standard. Available equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels and Remote Smart Parking Assist. The hatch body style and folding rear seats handle everyday hauling for Lake County Indiana drivers.

What screens does the 2027 Hyundai Kona have?

Two 12.3-inch displays sitting side by side: a 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster in front of the driver. That is 24.6 inches of screen across the dashboard, and it is the single most noticeable thing about sitting in a current-generation Kona for the first time.

The practical benefit of a digital cluster is not novelty, it is glance time. Turn-by-turn prompts, speed and trip data live directly in the driver’s line of sight instead of off to the right, which matters on an unfamiliar exit off the Borman Expressway (I-80/94) in traffic.

Is wireless Apple CarPlay standard on the 2027 Kona?

Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are both standard on the 2027 Kona, which means every trim from the $25,500 SE upward connects a phone without a cable. On a lot of competing vehicles, wireless mirroring is either a package item or reserved for upper trims.

It sounds like a small thing until it is a daily thing. A parent making three short stops between Highland and Munster plugs and unplugs a phone six times in an afternoon. Wireless removes that entirely, and it removes the frayed cable in the console six months later.

How much can the 2027 Kona carry?

The Kona is a hatchback-shaped subcompact SUV with folding rear seats, so the usable space changes with how the seats are set. For the exact published cubic-foot figures on a specific 2027 Kona, read the window sticker or call Webb Hyundai Highland at (219) 923-2277; this page will not repeat a cargo number that has not been verified.

What can be said usefully is how the shape behaves. A tall hatch opening and a flat load floor with the rear seats down is the layout that makes a small SUV work for a Saturday at a home improvement store on Indianapolis Blvd, a hockey bag, or a dorm move. Shoppers who need a hard yes or no should bring the actual item to the lot at 9236 Indianapolis Blvd and set it in the back before signing anything.

What is Remote Smart Parking Assist and who needs it?

Remote Smart Parking Assist, available on the Kona, moves the vehicle straight into or out of a tight space while the driver stands outside it and holds a control. It exists for one specific problem: the space where the car fits but the doors will not open far enough for a person to get out.

That problem is common in the older detached garages around Hammond and Whiting, in narrow apartment carports, and in packed retail rows on a December Saturday. Anyone who has parked a car and then climbed across the console to exit knows exactly what this feature is worth.

How does the Kona cabin compare with the 2026 Kia Seltos?

On cargo, Kia publishes clear numbers for the Seltos: 26.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 62.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Those are the figures to hold a Kona against when a shopper is measuring, and Webb Hyundai Highland will confirm the Kona’s published numbers on the specific unit rather than guess at them.

The verified technology story favors the Kona in one clear way: dual 12.3-inch displays and standard wireless phone mirroring across the lineup. On price, the Seltos opens lower, $23,790 front-wheel drive against $25,500. A shopper deciding between them is really deciding whether the screens and the standard wireless connection are worth the $1,710 difference at the entry point.
