I rent a Elanta / Sonata / Santa Fe or the Kia equivalent some where in 
US or Canada around once per month.  As best that I can recall WiFi 
became standard with those models around 2019.  Have never rented a Kona 
but would expect it to be like the others.  It would probably cost too 
much to have the Kona be different.  My guess is that a post WiFi unit 
is not swappable with a pre WiFi unit due to buss.
