2026 Hyundai Kona price and specs: Turbo AWD axed, new Elite trim added
Hyundai has reshuffled its popular Kona lineup, axing a powertrain and adding a new mid-range trim level, among other changes for the small SUV. The revised 2026 Hyundai Kona petrol and hybrid range is on sale now, ahead of first customer deliveries from early August. Hyundai hasn't released details for the 2026 Kona Electric lineup. The 146kW/265Nm turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine – previously the only way to get all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic in the Kona – has been axed. Hyundai says it has been axed as part of a strategy to simplify the Kona lineup. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new Hyundai Kona. Click here to get a great deal. The company says it only accounted for 10 per cent of Kona sales across 2024 and 2025, against a 34 per cent take rate for the 1.6-litre four-cylinder hybrid, six per cent for the Kona Electric, and 51 per cent for the base naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder.

The flagship Premium (pictured above) now has a sunroof with a power sunshade, resulting in price rises of $2200 for the petrol version and $2500 for the hybrid. The N Line package now costs $3000 on Premium variants, up from $2200 before. Otherwise, the Kona is unchanged for 2026. The Kona's turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is now gone, leaving only the naturally aspirated 2.0-litre and hybrid 1.6-litre fours. The Kona Electric is covered separately. The Hyundai Kona is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 160,000km battery warranty. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km.

Trump Tariffs Spell Trouble for Hawaii's Few Coffee Farmers
Hawaiian coffee farmers have a message for President Donald Trump: Steep tariffs on major exporters such as Brazil will end up hurting them, too. Hawaii at first glance might seem the obvious beneficiary of tariffs on coffee. It is the only state in the country where the tropical goods grow, with the vast majority of java imbibed by Americans imported from South America and Vietnam. Higher priced foreign imports should, in theory, make the island state's products comparatively more affordable. But growers say the opposite is true: rising prices across the board will hit consumers already struggling with inflation, curbing demand on everything from popular everyday roasts available at grocery stores to luxury Kona beans.

Down to Business: Naperville shaved ice biz a lot of fun, but forget taking a summer vacation, owners say
Business: Kona Ice of Central Naperville Address: Naperville Phone/website: 630-448-8851; Owners: Taylor Mazurek, 27, and Logan Mazurek, 27, both of Naperville Years in business: 3 What does your business do? 'We hand them the cups of shaved ice. Customers choose which flavors they want. … We also offer smoothies,' Logan said. So you are like an ice cream truck? 'We do a little bit of that. … We have the (steel drum) music playing. The lights are on,' Taylor said. 'But most of our bookings are private events or public events like a big block party. We come out and sell kona. We do birthday parties, graduation parties, corporate, schools, youth sports, everything.' How does this business work? 'We're completely mobile. Three trucks. And we have a kiosk. In June, it was parked at Sam's Club in Montgomery,' she said. What is each truck worth? '$160,000,' Logan said. Is this your full-time job? 'It's mostly Taylor's thing. I have a full-time job. I'm a software engineer at Lockheed Martin,' Logan said. 'In college, I worked for the Kona Ice franchise in Lafayette, Indiana, near Purdue University. That's where I grew up, my summer job,' Taylor said. 'I worked for that franchise a long time and realized this is super cool. … After college, we moved to Florida. I was working remotely for Kona.' 'One day in Florida we were randomly looking at ZIP codes — I grew up in Naperville — and saw this territory was open,' Logan said. What's your territory? 'Naperville, Bolingbrook, a little bit of Aurora, two streets in Plainfield,' Taylor said. When do you work? 'From March till the end of October. It helps that Logan has a full-time job. … We run this truck all winter because it has smoothies for corporate events,' Taylor said. You don't take summer vacations? 'We don't. If we travel, it's in the winter when it's our off-season,' Taylor said. What's new? 'We have dye-free concentrate we mix with any flavor. That's a big draw. The other (draws) are vegan and gluten free and free of the top nine allergens. It's a treat everyone can eat,' Taylor said. What do you like about this business? 'It's always different and everyone is always happy to see you,' Logan said. 'It's super fun,' Taylor said. 'Touching on Logan's point, it's something new every single day. You're meeting new people. We've had really cool opportunities we wouldn't have gotten without Kona.' What's the key? 'Speed of service. We can do 350 servings in one hour,' Logan said. What about prices? 'It starts at $4 for a small, medium is $5, large is $6 and we have a cowabunga cup that's $7,' Taylor said. 'The perk about the $6 and $7 cups, they're plastic and so they're reusable. If a customer brings back their cup, we will re-fill it for $3.' What challenges do you face? 'I don't feel we have any challenges or competition,' Logan said. Of the 10 flavors, which is most popular? 'Blue Raspberry doubles everything else,' Taylor said. Where do you get the ice? 'We have an ice maker at the shop. We fill these (bins) with ice before the truck goes out,' Logan said. How many employees do you have? 'We have 11 right now,' Taylor said. 'We have our family working for us too. Logan's parents. They like it.' Any favorite stories? 'Before we were picking up the chest freezer at the Best Buy warehouse, I measured,' Logan said. 'But because of the box, it was a half-inch too big to fit on our truck. I went to rent a truck. The guy at the warehouse stayed late for us. We gave him and all the guys who stayed later some free Kona. They loved it.' 'He booked us for his daughter's birthday and he's had us out every single year since then,' Taylor said. 'He's a great client. Very loyal.' What should people know? 'We do a Chill Out Day every Tax Day. On April 15 we do free Kona, even if it's snowing outside. This year we did it at the Bolingbrook Village Hall and the Naperville Public Library on 95th Street,' Taylor said. What does a customer say? 'I've never had it before,' said Belvidere resident Tracy Taylor, transportation coordinator for Naperville School District 203. 'I'll try Blue Raspberry and Strawberry'd Treasure. … It's nice. It's cold. It's great.' What's your advice for someone starting a business? 'Being in business is freeing,' Taylor said. 'Working for yourself is fun. … Take the leap of faith even though it can be scary.'
