Hyundai Kona FAQ


What engines are available in the Hyundai Kona?

Among subcompact crossovers, the 2027 Hyundai Kona stands out for its two engine options: 

  • The standard 2.0L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine, which is paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission ( SHIFTRONIC®), produces 147 horsepower at 6,200 RPM and 132 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 RPM. This engine is standard on the SE and SEL trims, and produces an EPA-estimated of 28 mpg city / 35 mpg highway / 31 mpg combined in FWD configurations.
  • The 1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine, which is paired with a direct-shifting automatic 8-speed transmission, generates 190 hp at 6,000 RPM and 195 lb-ft of torque. This engine is standard on the SEL Premium and Limited trims, and earns an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined in FWD configurations.

Is all-wheel drive available on all Hyundai Kona trim levels?

Yes, Hyundai's advanced HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system is available as an option on every gas-powered 2027 Hyundai Kona trim level, including the SE, SEL Sport, SEL Premium, and Limited. Choosing HTRAC AWD replaces the standard rear torsion-beam setup with an independent multi-link rear suspension for enhanced handling stability and ride comfort.

How much cargo space does the Hyundai Kona have?

The 2027 Hyundai Kona provides 25.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row of seats, expanding to 63.7 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are lowered flat. A wide rear liftgate opening and low load floor make loading heavy gear, groceries, or luggage straightforward.

Does the Hyundai Kona have a dual-level cargo floor?

Yes, every Kona features a versatile dual-level cargo floor. Owners can position the cargo floor board in its upper slot to create a flat, uninterrupted loading surface from the rear bumper to the front seatbacks when the rear seats are folded down. Dropping the floor board to its lower position adds critical vertical depth, allowing taller coolers, potted plants, or standing cargo to fit upright without contacting the cargo cover.

Does the 2027 Hyundai Kona come in electric?

Yes, the Hyundai Kona Electric will be available again for the 2027 model year. According to Car and Driver magazine, it will be available in one trim, the SE, which offers efficient electric performance and up to 133 horsepower.

What is the driving range of the Hyundai Kona Electric?

The Hyundai Kona Electric is expected to deliver an EPA-estimated driving range of up to  200 miles with the standard 48.6 kWh battery pack.

How fast does the Hyundai Kona Electric charge on a Level 3 DC fast charger?

On a Level 3 DC fast charger, the Kona Electric is anticipated to charge from 10% to 80% capacity in approximately 45 minutes.

What safety features come standard on the Hyundai Kona?

Every 2027 Hyundai Kona comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense, a comprehensive suite of active safety and driver-assistance systems that includes:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
  • Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist
  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Driver Attention Warning
  • Safe Exit Warning
  • Rear Occupant Alert
  • High Beam Assist

Is Highway Driving Assist available on the Hyundai Kona?

Highway Driving Assist is not currently available on the Hyundai Kona. However, the Limited trim does step up driver assistance to include advanced features like Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Parking Distance Warning, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse, and Remote Smart Parking Assist.

Can a full-size bicycle fit in the cargo area of the Hyundai Kona?

A standard adult bicycle can fit inside the rear cargo area of the Kona when the 60/40 split rear seatbacks are folded flat. To clear the rear tailgate opening comfortably, the front wheel of the bicycle usually needs to be detached using its quick-release axle.
