The all-new Hyundai Kona is a stylish and exciting new compact SUV that’s just starting to roll out across the country. One of the most interesting things about this car is its powertrains, which include two four-cylinder engines as well as one diesel engine. The first option for drivers who want a little more pep in their step is the 1.6L GDI 4-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft torque at 3,000 rpm.
This model has an EPA fuel economy rating of 27 mpg combined when it's paired with front-wheel drive (FWD). For those looking for even better fuel efficiency, however, they should opt for the 1.6L T-GDI turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which is paired with all-wheel drive (AWD). This option produces up to 175 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. torque at 1,500 rpm. The powertrain has an EPA fuel economy rating of 26 mpg combined when it's paired with AWD.
