About this generation

The second-generation Kona was revealed in December 2022. It is available with petrol, mild hybrid, hybrid and battery electric models, while diesel engine options are no longer offered. According to Hyundai, the second-generation Kona was first designed as a battery electric vehicle before being adapted for other variants. Compared to the previous generation, the vehicle has a significantly larger footprint with around additional length (depending on the variant) and a longer wheelbase.

As the result, the rear legroom is larger. With the second-row seat folded, the vehicle has of boot space (VDA standard) or (SAE standard). The drag coefficient is rated 0.27. The front clip is decorated by thin horizontal lamps, and the wheel arch cladding design of the side parts is integrated with the front and rear lamps. The second-generation Kona Electric is available since launch. The variant is distinguished with pixelated front and rear thin light bars and blocked front grille, while a Parametric Pixel design feature has been applied to the front and bottom of the rear bumper.

The Kona Electric is built with a 400 V electrical architecture, which impairs its DC fast charging times comparing to other Hyundai EVs built on the more recent 800 V architecture. Hyundai claims a 10-80% state of charge can be accomplished in 41 minutes, against the 18 minutes it claims for some of their 800V models. It also includes vehicle-to-load (V2L) support, with different maximum outputs depending on the market.

Two battery capacities are offered, which are 48.4 kWh (Standard Range) and 65.4 kWh (Long Range) powering a front-mounted electric motor. The Kona Electric N-Line was revealed on 17 January 2024.

It is the first battery electric vehicle built in Indonesia to use a locally produced battery. The N Line variant was added on 12 December 2024.
