The news follows within the wake of changes to the MY26 Kona line-up announced final month, where the 1.6 turbo AWD used to be axed in favour of broader availability of the entrance-pressure 1.6-litre petrol-hybrid powertrain.

Costs for that model elevated by between $200 (Kona Hybrid) and $2200 (Kona Hybrid Top payment) ahead of on-facet toll road costs.
