A little while ago Hyundai gave us very little to go on when it revealed the first teaser image of the brand’s upcoming compact SUV, dubbed the Kona.

The Kona will reportedly offer an elevated seating position for good visibility and optional four-wheel drive for those who would like to have better performance off-road.
