Hyundai Kona Battery

The front-wheel-drive 1.6 GDI hybrid uses a lithium-ion battery to support its gasoline engine. Regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration for later assistance. When considering Hyundai Kona battery capacity, keep this hybrid role in mind: capacity alone does not tell you how much fuel you will use in daily driving.
