Performance
Hybrid performance
The new Kona Hybrid is equipped with both a petrol engine and an electric motor. They work together with the support of a powerful battery to deliver excellent fuel economy and cut down on emissions – switching seamlessly between the conventional engine and electric motor, sometimes using both. And as part of the regenerative braking system, the electric motor also helps slow the car while charging the battery.
Electric motor
High torque and high efficiency are the principal attributes of the 42PS electric motor. It delivers impressive acceleration when starting, and can add extra power at higher road speeds.
Petrol engine
A specially calibrated 1.6-litre GDI direct-injection petrol engine delivers 105 PS with class-leading energy efficiency.
6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission
The innovative Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) delivers a smooth ride for a truly enjoyable driving experience and faster responsiveness.
Lithium-ion polymer battery
The 1.56 kWh high-power battery has superior charge/discharge characteristics, maximizing both electric driving and energy regeneration.
Confidence in performance
A chassis which is light and strong, suspension that delivers a more dynamic drive and engines that are efficient and fun to drive.
Safety
Cutting-edge safety and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Because nothing’s more important than the safety of your loved ones, we gave the new Kona Hybrid a safety upgrade. With Hyundai SmartSense, our cutting-edge Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, the new Kona Hybrid has been updated with the very latest safety and driving assist features for added peace of mind.
Rear Cross-traffic Collision-avoidance Assist (RCCA)
When reversing out of areas with low visibility, the system not only warns the driver if vehicles approach from the side – it also applies the brakes automatically.
Lane Following Assist (LFA)
The new Kona Hybrid features Lane Following Assist (LFA) uses the front camera to monitor the lines of the road. In the event of an unintended lane departure, it will first alert the driver and then apply counter-steering torque to get the car back on the correct course if necessary.
Blind Spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA)
Using two radar sensors in the lower rear bumper, the system warns you of traffic in the blind spot area. Should you set the turn indicator in such a situation, it will sound an acoustic alert and brake to prevent collision.
Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC with S&G)
More safety and less stress. Maintains a set distance to the vehicle ahead, automatically reducing or increasing speed to a pre-set limit. In “stop & go” traffic, the set distance is maintained.
