Airbag Count: 7 Airbags
Safety is paramount with 7 airbags, including a "Center-Side" airbag between the driver and passenger to prevent head-to-head contact during side-impact collisions.
ABS with EBD: Standard
The ABS system is integrated with the regenerative braking. When you hit the brakes, the car uses the motor to slow down first, and the mechanical ABS only kicks in if more force is needed.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Standard
ESC in the Kona EV is calibrated for electric torque. It prevents the front wheels from spinning out during hard acceleration by instantly cutting power to the motor.
Hill Start Assist: Standard
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) holds the vehicle for 2 seconds on a slope. In an EV, this is often handled automatically by the electric motor's "Auto Hold" function.
ISOFIX: Standard
Dual ISOFIX points in the rear make it easy to secure child seats. The wide-opening rear doors further simplify the process of loading and unloading child safety seats.
NCAP Safety Rating: 5 Star (Expected)
The Kona is built with Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS). While regional ratings vary, the structure is designed to protect the battery pack from intrusion in a crash.
