The Hyundai Kona is a five-door subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai.[10] The Kona debuted in June 2017 and the production version was revealed later that year. The electric version called the Kona Electric (or Kona EV) was first launched in South Korea on the first half of 2018 and rolled out gradually worldwide afterwards.[11]

Naming

The Kona is named after the western district of the island of Hawai'i.[12] The company claims the name "reflects the lifestyle of modern customers", in line with its "progressive design" that it adopts.[13] The Kona naming also continues Hyundai’s tradition of naming crossover SUV models after famous travel destinations, including the Creta, Santa Fe, Tucson and Veracruz.[14]

The car is sold in Portugal as the Hyundai Kauai, as Kona is too similar to cona, the taboo slang word for the female genitalia in Portuguese.[15][1] Like Kona, Kauai is a place in Hawaii. It is also Hawaiian for lady. In Spain, however, the car keeps its original name, although in Galician—language intimately related to Portuguese, spoken in the northwestern end of Spain—the word cona has the same taboo connotation.

In China, the car is sold as the Hyundai Encino.[2][16]

Overview

The Kona was revealed in June 2017 in Seoul, South Korea.[17] Positioned below the Tucson, it was the smallest crossover SUV in the Hyundai global line-up, a position taken by the Venue in 2019.[18] The Kona is built on a newly developed B-segment SUV platform derived from the Hyundai i30 platform,[19] which is designed to accommodate a range of powertrains, including fuel cell and electric variants.[20] While it is developed as an urban-oriented crossover SUV, the Kona is available in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants. Each are equipped with unique rear suspensions, which is a torsion beam setup for the former and a dual-arm multi-link configuration for the latter.[21]

For the North American market, the Kona was launched at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2017 and would be available at Hyundai dealers in the first quarter of 2018 for the 2018 model year.[22] Engine options offered are 2.0-liter 4-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine capable of 147 hp (149 PS; 110 kW) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value)., paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Higher trims are powered with a 1.6-liter Gamma turbo engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission producing 175 hp (177 PS; 130 kW) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value)..[23]

Generally, the Kona is not intended to be sold or only sold in low volumes in markets where the cheaper and larger Creta is offered, which include Latin America, India, and Russia.

Kona Electric

The Kona Electric is a battery electric version of the Kona. It is the second electric car from Hyundai after the Ioniq. Sales started in Korea and Europe in 2018, with a market debut in the United States in 2019.[24][25][11]

Kona Electric is available in two battery versions: 39.2 kWh and 64 kWh.[26] The 'ultimate' trim features adaptive cruise control and along with lane centering[27][28] means this vehicle meets the SAE standard for Level 2 driverless.[29] The Kona EV has a range of 415 km (258 mi).[30][31] Real-world range tests conducted by What Car in early 2019 found that the Kona EV has the highest real-world range among electric cars for sale in the United Kingdom.[32]

On 26 March 2019, Hyundai launched an Kona Electric in Thailand. On 9 July 2019, Hyundai launched an Electric Lite version as Kona Electric in India. In 2020, Hyundai started producing the Kona Electric to its European factory in the Czech Republic. That factory is planning for an annual production of 30,000 vehicles.[4] The Kona Electric reached 100,000 global sales milestone in June 2020.[33]

Hyundai Encino EV was launched on the Chinese car market in November 2019. The electric motor of the Encino EV has an output of 201 hp (204 PS; 150 kW) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value).. The motor is powered by a 64.2 kWh battery with a NEDC range of 500 km (310 mi).[34]
