If you need an SUV that will last for all the years and all the miles to come in your journeys around St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Saint Peters, MO, the KONA is the car for you. Join our team at St. Charles Hyundai as we explore the reliability of your next SUV.
When properly cared for and driven in reasonable conditions, the Hyundai KONA can last between 200,000 and 250,000 miles. That's 13 to 17 years for the average driver covering around 15,000 miles per year. This makes it one of the most reliable compact SUVs out there.
J.D. Power gave the KONA a quality & reliability score of 83 out of 100. That's considered Great on their scale of 0 to 100.
The KONA also comes with one of the best warranties. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty lasts for five years and 60,000 miles, while a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty covers most of the vital engine components.
A regular oil change is one of the pivotal services your Hyundai KONA can receive. This vital maintenance task helps keep the engine cool, lubricated, clean, and performing at its best, which ensures its reliable performance for many years to come. You'll need to schedule an oil change every 8,000 miles to keep your SUV in tip-top shape.
At every oil change interval, a trained technician will also inspect several other components. If they are worn, replacing them will also help ensure the long life of your KONA. The most common inspections include:
When your KONA hits the 96,000-mile mark, replacing the spark plugs is an important maintenance task that will help ensure it sees another 96,000 miles. They ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine to ensure your vehicle is supplied with enough power to operate.
If you choose the Hyundai KONA Electric, you'll be happy to know that the electric motor and lithium-ion battery that power it are generally expected to last for about 200,000 miles. Maintaining a charge between 20% and 80% will help ensure the battery reaches that milestone.
The electric motor also has far fewer moving parts than a traditional internal combustion engine. This means that some services, like oil changes, are obsolete in an electric vehicle (EV), like the KONA Electric. You will, however, need to have other fluids replaced, like the brake fluid and the coolant.
The coolant will generally need to be replaced every 30,000 miles, while brake fluid can be replaced every 60,000 miles. Having these tasks done regularly will help ensure that your EV lasts for all the years and miles to come.
With proper maintenance, the Hyundai KONA can last between 200,000 and 250,000 miles. At around 15,000 miles per year, that means drivers can expect 13 to 17 years of reliable performance, solidifying the KONA’s reputation as one of the most durable compact SUVs available. Now that you know how many miles the average Hyundai KONA can last and how you can help ensure yours lasts just as long, it's time to take the wheel and explore every bit of St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Saint Peters, Missouri, that you want.
