Hyundai: The Kona is available as desired
ELECTRIC, HYBRID & ICE-4×4 Alongside the launch of the all-electric model, Hyundai is also offering the new edition of the Kona compact SUV in Switzerland with full hybrid drive and as a petrol model with permanent all-wheel drive.
The new Hyundai Kona, which has grown significantly with a length of 4.35 meters, is available with three powertrains: purely electric, as a full hybrid and as a petrol engine with all-wheel drive.
The version with full hybrid drive works with a 1.6-liter Atkinson engine. Together with the electric motor, this results in a maximum system output of 104 kW (141 hp) and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. A 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox is installed as standard. This drive ensures a combined WLTP fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Prices start at 37,900 Swiss francs.
All-wheel drive with turbo boost
Another drive variant is the Kona 1.6 T-GDi 4WD. It is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbo engine (198 hp), 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. This version is likely to make friends in Switzerland in particular. During a test drive, this model proved that, thanks to all-wheel drive, it can also be driven in poor road conditions with impeccable traction and plenty of safety reserves. Like the hybrid, the 4WD Kona is available in four equipment versions. Its prices range between 39,500 and 49,500 Swiss francs (N-Line).
The top model is the Kona Electric
Two power variants of the all-electric Kona are available. With a 48 kWh battery, it has a drive power of 115 kW (156 hp) and a range of 377 kilometers. The price of this model starts at 42,900 Swiss francs. The more powerful version with a 65 kWh battery achieves a maximum output of 160 kW (217 hp) and a range of 514 kilometers. It is available for 46,900 francs.
With the Kona Electric, you get a powerful vehicle that stands out only slightly from the other two drive variants. Camping and outdoor enthusiasts will be delighted to be able to power their coffee machine or sound equipment with Vehicle-To-Load.
More security with Smart Sense
The variants with combustion engine and full hybrid drive share many design features with the electric model. The full hybrid model features upper and lower active air flaps, while the AWD version with petrol engine has an upper active air flap to improve the drag coefficient. The hybrid and AWD versions are available in the Origo, Amplia, Vertex and N Line trim levels.
The Hyundai Smart Sense safety package comes as standard in all versions. This includes Attention Assist, Collision Alert and the assistants for high beam, lane keeping, emergency braking, blind spot and highway and congested traffic.
The Vertex and N-Line trim levels offer a driver's seat with memory, a Bose sound system with amplifier, subwoofer and center speaker as well as an electric glass sunroof and the Digital Key as standard.
