The Hyundai Kona 1.6 GDI belongs to the first generation of Hyundai's compact SUV. One thing worth understanding is how differently the powertrain behaves when cruising compared with when the driver asks for acceleration.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
72 × 97 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1580 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
6
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
141 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
103 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Holding a steady pace asks the front-driven powertrain only to balance rolling and air resistance, so it can settle at low load. Requesting acceleration adds the work of changing the car's speed, and the transmission answers by selecting a shorter ratio.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Under acceleration, weight shifts rearward and the front contact patches carry less vertical load, which matters because in this layout the front tyres handle both driving and steering. A robotic transmission's clutch engagement determines how abruptly that transfer arrives.
Body and Practicality
Fitting an item through the tailgate is a question of the opening's height and width, while reaching the far end of the compartment depends on how deep the load floor runs beyond it. A five-door SUV's tall aperture eases the first without shortening the second.
