Here's the new one, built in Korea March 2021, registered in New Zealand 28 April, transported to the
Wellington dealer who had the roof gloss black vinyl wrapped, and picked up by me on 10 May with
27 kms on the odometer.

Looks awesome! Much more appealing with the new wheel design and the color coded fenders.
I guess that will also pull the plug on this intriguing thread :

It's growing on me. Its Tesla-esque nose originally bothered me, because I am not fond of the Tesla design, but the other details break it up a bit and add some visual interest. The colour-coded fender flares are a bit more well integrated than the original grey ones though I do wonder about paint chipping. And I do miss the chrome flourish on the running boards.

Paint chipping? Aren't they plastic?

I can't tell from photos. But, even so, they'd be painted plastic as opposed to unpainted as in previous model years.
I was thinking they would be no more prone to paint chipping than the body color bumper covers.
In any event, I have no issues with the gray fender flares as they make the Kona look more SUVish...with one exception. IMO the rear ones should be shaped similarly to the front ones. and not wrap around the rear corners on the car. The rear ones cover too large an area. They sort of making the Kona appear as if the car just came out of the body shop, and the body shop did not yet get around to painting all the body panels.

The bright color really stands out with the sunny and green background, is that orange?

A recent motoring column suggested that EV manufacturers appear to be prioritising their early production of new models toward countries with green power generation, to maximise exposure - most of our generation is hydro or thermal.
Their prices put them out of reach for most kiwis for now, more drooling than adopting...

Is the yellow color on the headlights a requirement where you are located?
