New Hyundai Kona: next SUV goes sci-fi
Design and aerodynamics
Ssangyup’s efforts produced a car with a drag co-efficient of 0.27. That means this tall-riding SUV is as aerodynamic as a. That’s impressive, but it took a lot of clever engineering to arrive at that figure. The front bumper, for example, was designed to wrap around the front of the car like a rocket’s nose cone.
‘A lot of cars have a horizontal line trying to connect with the door and the pillar all the way around. But that’s never going to work because the door panel is mounted on the door and the instrument panel is mounted on the firewall – and it’s impossible to make that line match perfectly. Hyundai hasn’t yet pushed the Kona through WLTP homologation, but it reckons its extra 0.6kWh of battery capacity and its clever aero package are enough to bump up its maximum range to 304 miles. That’s 19 miles more than the Kia.
‘Hybrid is also growing,’ Cole explained. ‘Pure internal combustion engines are gradually diminishing, but I still think that, for the European situation, hybrid will probably still be around 25, maybe even 30% [of Kona sales].’
