Hyundai Kona 2023 Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) 

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), a sophisticated driver assistance system intended to increase safety and driving comfort, is standard on the 2023 Hyundai Kona. Using sophisticated cameras and sensors, LKA tracks the location of the car within its lane. If it notices an unintentional lane departure without the turn signal engaged, it gently corrects the direction of the car to keep it in the lane. This technology is a useful addition to Kona’s array of safety measures for a more secure and pleasurable driving experience. It not only helps to minimize unintended drifting but also fosters driver confidence generally and reduces the likelihood of potential collisions.
