To get started, we’ll peek under the hood and check out what powers the Kona:
- Standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine: 147 horsepower/132 lb-ft of torque
- Available 1.6L inline 4-cylinder Turbo engine: 190 horsepower/195 lb-ft of torque
The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is paired with the smooth Intelligent Variable Transmission, while the available 1.6L turbocharged engine works with the sporty 8-speed automatic transmission.
Front Wheel Drive comes standard, delivering an EPA-estimated 29 city/34 highway MPG rating.* For advanced stability and traction control, be sure to ask about the available HTRAC All Wheel Drive. Even with all that power, the Kona doesn’t compromise when it comes to fuel efficiency, offering an EPA-estimated 26 city/32 highway MPG.*
Now, we’ll hop right inside and check out the spacious interior cabin. All five riders will have plenty of room to stretch out and relax within 101.2 cubic feet of passenger volume.
| Passenger Volume | 101.2 cu. ft. |
|---|---|
| Cargo Volume (behind the second row) | 25.5 cu. ft. |
| Cargo Volume (behind the first row) | 63.7 cu. ft. |
You’ll have plenty of flexibility thanks to the 60/40 split fold-down seats. The second row reclines and has adjustable head rests, too, so no matter where you’re seated, you’ll be able to find your perfect position.
The available heated and ventilated front seats will keep you comfortable no matter what the season. To add a touch of easily maintained luxury to the interior, there’s available leatherette-trimmed seats as well.
The Kona comes equipped with Hyundai SmartSense , a plethora of innovative driver-assist safety features designed to act as a second set of eyes on the road. These technologies work together to help you mitigate or avoid collisions, travel on the highway with ease, and stay securely within the center of your lane.
SmartSense includes the following standard features, among others:
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Warning
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Lane Following Assist/Lane Keeping Assist
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Cyclist Detection
- Driver Attention Warning
- Safe Exit Warning
With all these safeguards coming standard, you can enjoy peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel of the Kona.
