2025 Hyundai Kona Safety Features

Small crossover SUVs are the ideal blend between city cars and family vehicles. Their compact size helps them easily make their way through crowded traffic, while the ample passenger space makes them ideal for road trips. The 2025 Hyundai KONA is all of that and more. One of the things that set it apart from its competitors is the long list of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that help the driver avoid any unpleasant road situations. Keep reading to learn more about how the KONA’s safety tech can make driving safer and easier.

What Are Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems?  

ADAS are tech features that make driving safer by helping the driver notice potential dangers in due time. They proactively scan the vehicle’s surroundings and issue visual and auditive alerts when they sense an imminent danger, giving the driver enough time to react. Some systems even assist the driver directly, by automatically braking, accelerating, and steering.

2025 Hyundai Kona Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems Overview

The 2025 Hyundai KONA comes with a long list of ADAS technologies, with many of them available in the base configuration. They work together to cover a wide variety of potential dangers and assist the driver in keeping control of their vehicle at all times. Below are some of the most useful active safety systems on the 2025 KONA.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

Hyundai’s forward collision-avoidance assist (FCA) system helps the driver prevent a forward collision or mitigate its consequences. It works by having a high-resolution camera to scan the area in front of the KONA, with proximity sensors indicating the exact location of all vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and any other objects ahead of the vehicle. If the system concludes that a frontal impact is imminent at a certain speed, it’ll immediately alert the driver. Hyundai’s FCA system will also hit the brakes by its own if it doesn’t sense an immediate reaction from the driver.

Lane-Keeping Assist and Lane-Following Assist

The 2025 KONA’s lane-keeping assist (LKA) and lane-following assist (LFA) systems work in tandem to make driving safer and effortless. The LKA uses a front-mounted camera to detect the road’s lane markings. If it senses the KONA drifting out of its lane without the driver using the turn signal, it’ll first warn them about it. If the driver doesn’t react, the system will steer the car back into its original lane. 

The LFA system makes things even easier by monitoring the vehicle in front of the KONA. Then, besides keeping its lane, the system will adapt the Hyundai’s braking, acceleration, and steering, to maintain a constant distance from it. This can be very helpful in heavy traffic, as you no longer have to constantly accelerate and brake.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning

Not being able to see everything that goes on around your vehicle is one of the most common reasons why accidents occur. Hyundai’s blind-spot assist system uses proximity sensors mounted in the rear bumper to identify vehicles that enter your automobile’s blind spot while you’re changing lanes or reversing. If the system detects anything, it’ll instantly let you know through a small light on the side mirror, an audible warning, or a steering wheel vibration.

Another potential issue when reversing is that you can’t see cars approaching from either side of your vehicle. The rear cross-traffic collision warning helps you with that by using its scanners to detect oncoming traffic from both sides. It immediately notifies you to hit the brakes if another vehicle is approaching while you’re backing up. 

Highway Driving Assist

The 2025 Hyundai KONA’s highway driving assist system makes driving on the highway safer and easier. You no longer have to constantly accelerate and decelerate to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, as the system does that for you. It can also work in tandem with other safety features, such as the LKA system, to keep you centered in your lane. Another useful feature of this system is that it issues speed limit warnings based on your GPS location.

Safe Exit Warning

Accidents don’t always happen while you’re driving; some situations may occur when your car is stationary. When exiting a vehicle, it’s often difficult to see if another car is approaching from behind, which can lead to oncoming traffic injuring the person getting out. The safe exit warning system monitors the traffic behind the KONA and issues an alert if a passenger is trying to get out while another vehicle is approaching from behind.

Rear Occupant Alert

Another potential issue that may occur when you park your car is you forgetting a pet inside or a child accidentally locking themselves in. The 2025 KONA’s rear occupant alert system uses an ultrasonic sensor to monitor the vehicle’s cabin. After reminding the driver to make sure everyone’s out before locking the car, the system will look out for any movement from inside the cabin. If it detects any rear seat movement, it’ll then sound the horn, flash the car’s lights, and send a message to the driver’s smartphone via Hyundai’s Bluelink system.
