No fewer than 12 purely internal combustion engine variants of the new Hyundai Kona are available in the UK so far, six of which come with a manual transmission. These are joined by four hybrid variants that rock a dual-clutch gearbox instead of a continuously variable transmission, as is the case with most HEVs.
Regarding the standard items, the list starts with a 1.0-liter three-pot turbo that produces a respectable 120 ps (118 hp) and 172 Nm. Upgrading to the optional seven-speed DCT brings the peak torque rating to 200Nm, although peak torque is 500 rpm later at 2k versus 1.5k rpm.
There's no all-wheel drive option, which means you'll find a torsion bar in the back. The hybrid features a more refined multi-link configuration, which is shared with the all-electric model.
The Kona is also available with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbocharged mill that offers the same kind of power and torque with the six-speed manual or 7-speed DCT transmission. Makes 198 feet (195 hp) and 265 Nm
Advance is what the base trim level is called, and British customers get a lot of things completely as standard. 17-inch alloys for purely internal combustion variants and 18 for hybrid variants.
