Electrifying efficiency: the KONA Hybrid

The Hyundai KONA Hybrid uses electric power to help you go further, all without you having to charge a battery or change your driving habits. Taking fuel efficiency to the next level, it’s equipped with both a petrol engine and a battery-powered electric motor. It’s a full-parallel hybrid drive system with regenerative braking that charges the battery so you don’t have to.

    Hybrid power.

    The 1.6 GDi direct injection petrol engine and battery-powered electric motor work together to deliver outstanding performance with a combined output of 141 PS/104 kW.

  2. The number 265 and the letters Nm.

    High torque.

    The 43.5 PS electric motor delivers high torque and high efficiency. It also delivers impressive acceleration when starting.

    The KONA Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.2 seconds.

    Energy flow – how the KONA Hybrid works

    Depending on the driving situation, the Hyundai 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.

      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.

      Acceleration/Uphill.

      During heavy acceleration or driving uphill, the electric motor and petrol engine work in parallel to maximise acceleration and minimise fuel consumption.

      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.

      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.

      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.
