Hyundai has released technical specifications for its second-generation 2024 Kona crossover along with new video footage. We have gathered some information for you so you know what to expect when the new crossover hits the road. The new Kona will be available with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter gasoline engine that produces 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, delivered to the wheels via a CVT. A turbocharged 1.6-liter mill will also be available and produces 195 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque, together with an eight-speed automatic. The hybrid version uses a bespoke 1.6-liter unit that works together with an electric motor to provide “impressive acceleration and high efficiency.” The combined output is rated at 139 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque, sent to the road through a six-speed, dual-clutch automatic.
The new Kona is bigger than its predecessor, with a wheelbase stretched by 60 millimeters to 2,660 mm and an overall length increased by 145 mm to 4,350 mm. Its width is now at 1,825 mm and when fitted with 17-inch tires, the subcompact crossover stands at 1,580 mm tall.
In terms of practicality, the cargo volume with the rear seats folded is 723 liters, and the shift-by-wire gear selector has created a more spacious front compartment with enough space to store big bags. Hyundai also touts best-in-class shoulder room for rear passengers and a programmable electric tailgate allowing owners to choose the opening height and even the speed at which it opens and closes. Memory seats, wireless charging, and OTA updates are supported, along with NFC technology to turn your smartphone or smartwatch into a digital key. The cabin should be quieter than before thanks to additional sound-deadening material, double-laminated sound-insulating glass on the windshield, thicker floor carpet, and sound-absorbing tires for the 19-inch wheels. Even though the second-gen Kona now has a pair of 12.3-inch screens, you still get plenty of physical buttons on the center console to quickly access often-used functions. Hyundai plans to provide further information about the global model in March when we’ll also get to learn about the Kona EV.
