Larger than its predecessor, the 2024 Kona has extended its wheelbase by 60 millimeters (2.3 in) to 2,660 mm (104.7 in). Its overall length has increased by 145 mm (5.7 in) to 4,350 mm (171.2 in), while its width is now 1,825 mm (71.9 in).
When equipped with 17-inch tires, the subcompact crossover stands 1,580 mm (62.2 in) tall. These dimensions are for ICE and Hybrid models. That being said, the EV ratios should be pretty similar since it will be using the same platform.
In South Korea, Hyundai intends to sell the new Kona with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter gasoline engine that makes 147 horsepower and 180 Newton-meters (132 pound-feet) of torque delivered to the wheels. through a CVT. Step up to the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and you’ll get 195 hp and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
As for the hybrid, it uses a custom-built 1.6-liter unit that works in conjunction with an electric motor to deliver “impressive acceleration and high efficiency.” Combined power has been rated at 139 hp and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) sent onto the road via a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Hyundai also touts best-in-class shoulder room for rear passengers and a programmable power liftgate that allows 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-absorbing material, double-laminated sound-absorbing glass on the windshield, thicker carpet on the floor, and sound-absorbing tires for the 19-inch wheels.
Although the second-generation Kona now has a pair of 12.3-inch screens, it still has plenty of physical buttons on the center stack for quick access to frequently used features. We’d say this layout is the best of both worlds as opposed to having to cram everything into the infotainment or cluttering up the dash with too many physical controls.
Hyundai plans to provide more information about the global model in March, when we’ll also learn about the Kona EV.
