The Hyundai Kona is a compact crossover in a thriving market segment where buyers want something between a full-size SUV and a standard family vehicle. This bodystyle is popular for a reason: it combines the tip-toe stance, excellent visibility, and practicality of a full 4x4 with the lower cost, driving dynamics, and familiarity of a five-door hatchback.
So the Kona enters a market crowded with vehicles such as the Vauxhall Mokka, Ford Puma, and Nissan Juke, and it faces a difficult task in enticing motorists weaned on mainstream European brands to try this South Korean alternative.
Hyundai Kona Fuel Consumption
The Hyundai Kona has one of the most diverse engine lineups available today, with petrol engines, hybrids, and even fully electric versions.
Buyers must decide whether the lower running costs of more electrified versions outweigh their higher cost. For many, the most basic 1.0-litre petrol model (available in six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic) will suffice. It achieves 47.9mpg combined fuel economy and emits 134g/km of CO2.
A more powerful 1.6-litre petrol turbo is also available, along with a selection of transmissions. It is significantly more powerful, but efficiency suffers, with an average of 39.8-43.5mpg and CO2 emissions ranging from 148-162g/km (both figures vary depending on gearbox). Choose the hybrid for the cleanest combustion. Kona: it has an average fuel consumption of 60.1mpg and a low CO2 emissions of 106g/km, which could lower your tax bill.
All petrol Konas have a modest 47-litre fuel tank. Remember that the Hybrid reduces that to 38 litres, so you'll probably be filling up more frequently, despite the increased fuel efficiency.
The fuel consumption of the Hyundai Kona is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Hyundai Kona variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Hyundai Kona in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Hyundai Kona is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
