The BLK Edition models carry a $2,650 price premium over their standard Elite counterparts. Both vehicles are configured with two-wheel drive. Hyundai has confirmed a production run of 750 units for the Tucson BLK Edition, which will be sourced from Vietnam, differing from the rest of the local Tucson line-up that is manufactured in South Korea. No specific production volume was provided for the Kona BLK Edition. The Kona BLK Edition is priced from $42,600 (excluding on-road costs), compared to the $39,950 starting price of the Kona Elite hybrid. Atlas White is the standard paint color, with other premium paint options available for an additional $595. The Tucson BLK Edition starts at $51,000 (excluding on-road costs), compared to the $48,350 price of the Tucson Elite hybrid.
