With Electric and Hybrid Versions, the Hyundai Kona Crossover Will Get a New Generation Launched in Brazil, Competing in Range with BYD Dolphin and GWM Ora 03

Hyundai Motor Brazil is about to launch its first imported model in Brazil after the unification of operations and network with the Caoa group. The sighting suggests that the new generation of the Hyundai Kona will be launched in July with impressive range and power. The crossover was seen undisguised, with a green license plate and ready for debut, according to the Estadão website.

Futuristic Design, Range, and Advanced Versions

The choice of the Kona as the first launch in Brazil of the imported line by HMB makes sense, as the previous model, launched by Caoa about a year ago, was an immediate success with hybrid and 100% electric versions at competitive prices. The new generation promises even more features, starting with the futuristic design, featuring daytime running lights and rear lights in unique pieces that form light bars, with LED lighting.

The images show the hybrid version of the new Hyundai Kona, which promises a competitive price. The previous model is already one of the most affordable HEV hybrids in the country and one of the most economical electrified vehicles in the Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program (PBEV) by Inmetro. The new generation is even better, according to official data from the South Korean automaker.

Power and Efficiency

The Kona Hybrid maintains the same set from the previous generation, also available in the Kia Niro. It combines the 1.6 16V direct injection engine with another electric motor, generating 150 kW (141 hp) and 27 mkgf of maximum torque, with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The batteries of the new Kona have also increased in capacity. The Kona EV has options of 48 kWh and 65 kWh, providing a range of 377 km and 514 km, respectively, in the global WLTP cycle. Previously, the ranges were 305 km and 484 km. The charging time of the batteries has also decreased: at high-powered direct current stations, charging now takes 41 minutes, compared to the previous 47 minutes. It is possible to recover up to 162 km of range in just 15 minutes at stations with 100 kW of power.

Modern and Technological Interior

The interior of the crossover resembles the Ioniq 5, featuring two 12.3-inch screens side by side, a head-up display, and a “digital key” that allows you to lock, unlock, and start the car via smartphone. The new Kona EV also features the Vehicle-To-Load (V2L) function, allowing the car to be used as a power source to recharge other devices, including an e-bike. Standard features include GPS navigation, wireless mirroring with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital air conditioning, USB-C ports, and 17-inch wheels.

The current generation of the Kona has already been discontinued in South Korea, but there are still units available in Brazilian dealerships. The Kona Hybrid has a price tag of R$ 169,990, while the Kona EV costs R$ 189,990. With the launch of the new Kona in Brazil, these prices are expected to rise, with the electric model costing around R$ 200 thousand and the hybrid around R$ 180 thousand.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The food that increased the most in price in Brazil in 2026 is neither meat nor coffee.

End of the intercom stuck to the wall? The smart video doorbell arrives in Brazilian homes with a 120° view, motion sensor, night vision, mobile alerts, and up to 3 months of battery life without recharging.

Privatized refinery charges diesel 87% more expensive than Petrobras.

Goodbye to the floor cloth: the appliance that vacuums, mops, and keeps the house clean almost by itself is becoming an ally for those who want more practicality and less effort in their routine.

NASA launches twin spacecraft to investigate the mystery of Mars’ lost atmosphere and discover how a planet that once had water ended up transformed into a cold, barren desert.
