Performance

More thrills. Less emissions.

A combination you don’t see very often: hybrid and fun. This sporty SUV features a specially calibrated direct injection petrol engine and battery-powered electric motor, which deliver outstanding power performance with a combined output of 141 PS and 265 Nm of torque. Add a 6-speed sporty Dual Clutch Transmission, and you get a thrilling driving experience with plenty of torque when you need it most.

    Energy flow.

    Depending on the driving situation, the KONA Hybrid switches seamlessly between its petrol engine and electric motor, sometimes using both. The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. The energy stored in the battery then powers the electric motor to help in acceleration, uphill driving and low speed driving. This complex energy flow is illustrated in these animations.
    1. The electric motor helping the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid compact SUV accelerating.

      Start/ Low Speed.

      When starting or driving at low speed, the electricity stored in the battery powers the electric motor to accelerate the KONA Hybrid.

    1. The electric motor and petrol engine working in parallel in the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid compact SUV.

      Acceleration/Uphill.

      During heavy acceleration or driving uphill, the electric motor and petrol engine work in pararell to maximise acceleration and minimise fuel consumption.
    1. 1
    1. The electric motor or petrol engine powering the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid compact SUV.

      Constant Speed.

      At constant speeds, power is provided by either the petrol engine or the electric motor, whichever is the most energy-efficient in that situation.

    1. The regenerative braking system charges the battery while slowing the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid.

      Deceleration/Downhill.

      The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. When decelerating or driving downhill, the energy generated is stored in the battery.

    1. The regenerative braking system charges the battery while slowing the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid.

      Regenerative Braking.

      When decelerating (e.g. through braking or when driving downhill) the electric motor operates as a generator and regenerates kinetic energy into electric energy, which is then stored in the battery.

    Saving fuel and lowering emissions: ECO-DAS.

    Excellent fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions are supported by the ECO Driving Assistant System (ECO-DAS). When a route is entered into the navigation system, this predictive energy management system analyses it, tapping into topography data to set an optimal mix of battery power and petrol. The Coasting Guide also informs the driver when a driving situation demanding deceleration is imminent to reduce fuel consumption.
    1. The new Hyundai Kona Hybrid compact SUV predicting an incline for more efficiency.

      Predict Uphill.

      If the battery is low ahead of a hill, engine operation increases slightly to pre-charge it before the incline. This way, the electric motor can assist going uphill – thus optimizing fuel-efficiency.
    2. The new Hyundai Kona Hybrid compact SUV predicting an decline for more efficiency.

      Predict Downhill.

      If the battery is sufficiently charged, electric motor usage is increased before driving downhill to minimise fuel consumption. The battery is recharged on the way downhill by regenerative braking.
    3. The Coasting Guide predicting deceleration for more efficiency in the new Hyundai Kona Hybrid.

      Coasting Guide.

      The Coasting Guide analyses information from the navigation system and alerts when a situation demanding deceleration is imminent. This reduces fuel consumption and minimizes brake usage.

    Safety

    Cutting-edge safety and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

    Because nothing’s more important than the safety of your loved ones, we gave the KONA Hybrid a safety upgrade. With Hyundai Smart Sense, our cutting-edge Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, the KONA Hybrid has been updated with the very latest safety and driving assist features for added peace of mind.

    1. 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.

    3. Lane Following Assist (LFA).

      The KONA Hybrid features Lane Following Assist (LFA). When activated, it keeps the car centred in its lane at speeds between 0 and 200 km/h on highways and city streets.

    5. 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.

    7. Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC w/ 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.
