Hyundai Australia has issued a recall on 796 examples of its Kona Electric SUV, citing a potential fault with the lithium-ion battery and battery management system (BMS). The affected vehicles are Model Years 2018-2020, and were sold between 1 December, 2018 and 29 February, 2020

Hyundai has released a blacked-out 'Night Edition' of its popular Kona crossover SUV in the United States, with the brand's Australian arm revealing it's considering similar special editions locally. The limited-run model lands in US showrooms from September 2020 and brings mostly aesthetic updates, with Hyundai jumping on the bandwagon of manufacturers offering top-selling models with sportier, all-black trim packs.

Pricing and specifications for the refreshed 2020 Mitsubishi ASX have finally been confirmed, with the updated range launching from $24,990 drive-away with standard autonomous emergency braking. As previously reported, the facelifted ASX gets its most comprehensive design overhaul since it first debuted nearly a decade ago.

Hyundai has given its hot-selling Kona crossover some welcome safety upgrades, making most features from the old $1500 SmartSense options pack on base Go and Active grades standard, in exchange for either a $500 price bump or an infotainment downgrade.
