Fuel consumption < 11.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 76%(view ratings)
The immensely popular Kona stands out from most small crossovers with a large selection of models. Gas-powered units deliver anywhere between 147 horsepower and 276 horsepower (Kona N). None is more efficient, of course, than the Kona Electric, which provides up to 415 km of zero-emission range. When plugged into a 50kW DC fast charger, the battery can be brought back to 80 percent in about 64 minutes. AWD is not available with this variant, however.
