In this #shortsvideo I compare the 2026 Hyundai Kona fuel economy between the FWD and AWD 2026 Hyundai Kona. If you're deciding which Kona to buy, this real-world test highlights the MPG (and L/100km) differences you’ll actually experience—not just what’s printed on the window sticker. 🚗💨
According to Hyundai, the FWD 2.0L Kona with 17" wheels is rated at 7.5 L/100km (31 MPG) combined. The AWD 1.6L Turbo Kona with 19" wheels is rated at 9.1 L/100km (28 MPG) combined… but real-world results may surprise you. 👀
💡 My real-world fuel results this week:
• AWD 1.6L Turbo: 8.9 L/100km (26 MPG)
• Even better averages possible using Normal Mode and avoiding unnecessary throttle mashing.
🔧 Useful Consumer Facts:
• AWD option costs $1,500–$2,000 depending on your market.
• AWD has only a small impact on fuel economy—great for buyers who want added safety & balance.
• Fuel tank sizes: 47L (FWD) and 50L (AWD).
• Driving + Terrain Modes: Normal, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand.
🔥 Engine Options:
• 2.0L: 147 hp / 132 lb-ft, paired with a CVT
• 1.6L Turbo: 190 hp / 195 lb-ft, paired with an 8-speed automatic
• Paddle shifters + quick launches available in Sport Mode
🛡️ Safety Highlights:
• Standard SmartSense features
• Optional video blind-spot monitoring (best in the industry)
• Available SmartPark + SmartTrunk
📦 Practicality:
• 723L cargo space (seats up)
• 1,803L cargo space (seats down)
• Rear vents + USB-C ports
• Comfortable for adults, family-friendly
Is the 2026 Hyundai Kona AWD worth the small fuel penalty? Or would you stick with the FWD 2.0L for better MPG? Drop your vote below! 👇
