2027 Hyundai Kona Trims and Pricing: SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium and Limited in Merrillville, Indiana

Webb Hyundai Merrillville | (219) 736-2277 | 1000 W 81st Ave, Merrillville, IN 46410

How many trims does the 2027 Hyundai Kona have?

Four. The 2027 Kona ladder runs SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium and Limited, and the lineup opens at $25,500 MSRP. Because 2027 is a same-generation carryover year rather than a redesign, the trim structure and content match the current-generation Kona exactly, which removes the usual first-year guesswork.

Four trims is a manageable number until the drivetrain choice doubles it. Each trim can be built front-wheel drive or with HTRAC All Wheel Drive, so the practical shopping grid is eight combinations rather than four.

Which 2027 Kona trim is the best value for a Northwest Indiana commuter?

SEL Sport is the sweet spot for most Merrillville and Crown Point buyers. It sits above the SE on content without reaching the top of the price band, and it is one of the six configurations physically on the lot at 1000 W 81st Ave. Shoppers who want the 190-horsepower turbo experience and available Remote Smart Parking Assist should look at Limited instead.

Value also depends on how far you drive. A Valparaiso-to-Merrillville commuter running US-30 five days a week gets more out of the up to 35 MPG highway rating of a front-wheel-drive SE than out of extra trim content.

What equipment carries across every 2027 Kona trim?

Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard, so even the entry SE gives you phone projection without a cable. Dual 12.3-inch displays anchor the dashboard, pairing a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The whole lineup carries the 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating.

How does 2027 Kona pricing stack up against the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross?

The Kona undercuts the Corolla Cross by $985 at the entry point, $25,500 against $26,485. Toyota also charges $1,300 to add all wheel drive to a gas Corolla Cross, and its XLE grade opens at $31,410. For a shopper cross-shopping the two on US-30, the price ladder is the clearest separator.

What does Webb Hyundai Merrillville actually have in stock?

Twenty units of the 2027 Kona are on the ground as of August 10, 2026, priced from $27,340 to $29,521. The mix covers SE FWD, SE AWD, SEL Sport FWD, SEL Sport AWD, Limited FWD and Limited AWD, which is the deepest 2027 Kona selection in the Webb group.

Six configurations in one place means a Portage or Hobart shopper can drive an SE FWD and a Limited AWD back to back on the same afternoon, using the same stretch of Broadway and the same I-65 on-ramp as the reference route. Webb Hyundai Merrillville was named an NWI Best of the Region 2026 winner, the store’s third consecutive win, and that repeat recognition comes from exactly this kind of on-lot selection.

Does a carryover model year change how I should shop trims?

It simplifies the decision. Because hyundaiusa.com still lists the 2026 Kona as the current model year, the 2027 is a same-generation carryover, so there is no redesign risk and no wondering whether a mid-year change will alter equipment. The trim ladder you compare today is the trim ladder you take delivery on.

That stability is worth something to a shopper who has been waiting to replace a vehicle. The starting MSRP of $25,500, the four-trim structure and the drivetrain choices are settled numbers rather than early-launch estimates.

Should I order a trim or buy from stock?

With six of the eight practical build combinations already sitting at 1000 W 81st Ave, most Merrillville, Hobart and Portage shoppers buy from stock. Ordering makes sense mainly for a specific SEL Premium build or a color and equipment combination that is not currently represented in the 20-unit inventory.

Buying from stock also removes the timing question. A Valparaiso buyer who applies for financing online can complete a same-day purchase instead of waiting on a build and delivery window.
