Optimal Fuel Efficiency with
Powerful Assistance
The KONA Hybrid combines the fun of electric acceleration with exceptional fuel efficiency.
Its highly efficient hybrid powertrain seamlessly switches between its petrol engine and electric motor depending on the driving situation.
Whether it’s going uphill or a slow & leisurely drive, The all-new KONA Hybrid is always ready with a host of options to fit your drive.
Energy flow – how the KONA Hybrid works.
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.
