The electric motor makes 32kW of power and 172Nm of torque; combined system outputs are 104kW and 265Nm. It’s hooked up to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Claimed fuel economy is a miserly 3.9 litres per 100km on the combined cycle. We saw 5.7 litres per 100km on a run through the hills outside Canberra.

The fuel tank holds 38 litres, and the Kona Hybrid happily drinks 91 RON regular unleaded.
