It’s the 2018 Hyundai Kona again and this time Simone checks out the Kona in it’s lowest Active trim but better-preforming turbo engine.
The engine in this Kona is the more powerful 1.6 l Turbo with 130 kW and 265 Nm of torque paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch auto. It has the combined fuel consumption of 6.7 l.
The second option is the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine with 110 kW and 180 Nm of torque and it comes with a torque converter automatic. Other available trim levels include the Elite and the Highlander.
Also with the reveal of the all-new Kona Electric in Geneva we know that even the Kona was only introduced in 2017 it’s likely that this subcompact SUV is here to stay.
