Turbo or Not? Choosing Your Engine

Every new 2027 Hyundai Kona offers a choice of two engines. Your pick shapes which 2027 Hyundai Kona features you get. Here's how the two options compare.

2.0L 4-Cylinder (SE and SEL Sport)

  • 147 hp and 132 lb-ft with a smooth CVT.
  • EPA-estimated 28 city / 35 highway / 31 combined mpg with FWD.
  • About 384 miles on a full 12.4-gallon tank with FWD. That's more than two and a half Denver round trips.

Best for: Commuters who want the lowest cost per mile.

1.6L Turbo (SEL Premium and Limited)

  • 190 hp and 195 lb-ft with an 8-speed automatic.
  • Peak torque arrives at just 1,700 rpm. You feel it when merging onto I-25 or climbing Monument Hill.
  • EPA-estimated 26 / 32 / 28 mpg with FWD and a larger 13.2-gallon tank.

Best for: Drivers who want more passing power at altitude.

More Clearance with AWD

HTRAC AWD is available on every trim for better traction in Colorado winters. AWD models also benefit from increased ground clearance.

6.7–6.9″FWD ground clearance
8.1″AWD with the 2.0L
8.3″AWD with the turbo

That extra 1.4 inches helps on unplowed side streets in Briargate and rutted driveways in Black Forest. AWD fuel economy is 27 mpg combined with the 2.0L and 26 mpg with the turbo.

This is one of the most beneficial options for Colorado Springs drivers on the 2027 Hyundai Kona. If you park outside or live off a dirt road, test drive an AWD model first.
