Length: 4,355 mm
The new Kona is significantly longer than the previous generation, improving its aerodynamic drag coefficient to 0.27. This length allows for better stability and a larger "living space" for passengers inside.
Width: 1,825 mm
At 1,825 mm, the Kona provides a wide, planted stance. The extra width is utilized for a more ergonomic dashboard and wider seats, which are essential for long-distance comfort.
Height: 1,575 mm
The 1,575 mm height offers a traditional SUV seating position. The roofline is aerodynamically sculpted to taper toward the rear, reducing the wake of air and extending the highway range.
Wheelbase: 2,660 mm
The 2,660 mm wheelbase is 60 mm longer than before. This "stretch" is critical for EVs as it creates more room between the wheels to house a larger, more efficient battery pack.
Ground Clearance: 151 mm
Ground clearance is 151 mm. While lower than some off-road SUVs, this low-slung design keeps the heavy battery closer to the ground, resulting in a center of gravity that rivals some sports sedans.
Kerb Weight: 1,735 kg
The Kona Electric is heavier than its petrol siblings due to the battery weight. However, the weight distribution is nearly 50:50, which improves cornering balance and overall handling predictability.
Turning Radius: 5.3 Meters
A 5.3m turning radius ensures the Kona remains a "city-first" vehicle. It can easily perform U-turns in standard 2-lane roads, making it highly agile in urban environments.
