The 2025 Hyundai Kona is a hybrid SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SX2 generation. The 1.6 GDi HEV Executive is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.6 GDi HEV Executive version develops 141 hp and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 10.4 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 165 km/h (103 mph). Its power output is about 30% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 19% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 4.7 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 42.0 litres (11.1 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 107 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,355 mm (171.5 in) in length, 1,825 mm (71.9 in) in width, and 1,575 mm (62.0 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,660 mm (104.7 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 466 litres (16.5 cu ft), expanding to 1,300 litres (45.9 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,395 kg (3,075 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 750 kg (1,653 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.6 GDi HEV Executive and 1.6 HEV. Across the range, the specifications span 141 hp and 9.8 s to 10.4 s, while listed starting prices run from $28,750-$29,350. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Hyundai Kona is strongest on price, while towing capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
