Common Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What are the technical specifications of the 2018-Present Hyundai KONA Electric engine?

The Hyundai KONA Electric features a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a power output of 201 horsepower (150 kW) and 291 lb-ft of torque. It is equipped with a 64 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, providing an estimated range of 258 miles on a full charge. The engine is compatible with CCS (Combined Charging System) for DC fast charging, enabling a 10-80% charge in approximately 47 minutes. It supports both Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging.

Q2

What maintenance does the Hyundai KONA Electric engine require?

The KONA Electric requires minimal maintenance compared to internal combustion engines. Regularly check the brake system, tires, and cabin air filter. The battery coolant should be inspected every 35,000 miles, and the reduction gear oil every 75,000 miles. Keep the battery charge between 20-80% for optimal lifespan. Hyundai recommends periodic software updates to ensure system efficiency and safety.

Q3

How do I replace the Hyundai KONA Electric engine battery?

Battery replacement should be performed by certified Hyundai technicians. The process involves disconnecting the high-voltage system, removing the underbody panels, and detaching the battery pack. A new battery is then installed, and the system is reconnected and tested. This procedure requires specialized tools and safety precautions to handle high-voltage components. Always consult a Hyundai service center for this task.

Q4

What should I do if my Hyundai KONA Electric engine is not performing optimally?

If performance issues arise, first check the battery charge level and charging system. Inspect for software updates through Hyundai’s navigation system or service center. Ensure the tires are properly inflated and the cabin air filter is clean. If problems persist, use the onboard diagnostics system to identify error codes and consult a Hyundai technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my Hyundai KONA Electric engine?

To optimize performance, use Eco or Eco+ driving modes to maximize efficiency. Regularly update the vehicle’s software for improved functionality. Maintain the battery charge between 20-80% for longevity. Avoid frequent rapid acceleration and heavy braking. Keep the vehicle stored in moderate temperatures to preserve battery health. Use regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration.
