Hyundai Australia is introducing new BLK Edition variants of its Kona and Tucson hybrid SUVs for 2026, adding black exterior highlights and extra equipment, with the Tucson limited to just 750 examples.
Both models are based on the existing Elite Hybrid trim level, retaining their standard front-wheel drive petrol-electric powertrains. In the Kona Hybrid the system produces 104kW, while the Tucson Hybrid features a turbo engine and bumps power to 172kW.
The Kona BLK Edition features 18-inch black alloy wheels, black window surrounds and badging, a Shadow Grey front bumper garnish and silver front and rear skid plates.
Additional equipment includes a Bose premium sound system, satellite navigation and a digital instrument cluster.
Meanwhile, the Tucson BLK Edition receives 19-inch black alloy wheels, black front and rear bumper garnishes, darkened window trim and black badging. A Bose premium sound system is also included.
Both models are offered with a limited selection of exterior colours designed to complement the darker styling. There are no mechanical changes, with the BLK Editions focusing on styling and equipment rather than performance.
The Tucson BLK Edition is limited to 750 units in Australia, while no production cap has been announced for the Kona. Showroom arrival is scheduled for October for the Kona and November for the Tucson. See below for the starting prices (excluding on-road costs):
