Common Issues to Check
- Infotainment glitches: Some early models suffer from screen freezes which usually require a software update from a Hyundai dealer.
- DCT Hesitation: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission can feel slightly jerky at low speeds in heavy UK traffic; ensure the gearbox oil changes are documented.
- 12V Battery Drain: Owners of the Kona Electric have reported the auxiliary 12V battery going flat if the car is left unused for long periods.
- Tyre Wear: The high torque of the Electric and 1.6T models can lead to premature front tyre wear if driven enthusiastically.
Running Costs
- Fuel Economy: 45-55mpg for Petrol/Hybrid; 3.5-4.2 miles per kWh for Electric.
- Insurance Group: Groups 8 to 27, with the high-performance Kona N and Electric models at the top end.
- Servicing: Hyundai offers fixed-price servicing plans; expect to pay £180–£300 annually depending on periodic MOT requirements and fluid changes.
