The second-generation Hyundai Kona was designed electric-first, with a very open lower centre stack because the gear selector has moved to the steering column. Petrol, hybrid and Electric cars all share one dashboard, so mount fit is identical whichever Kona you drive.
Frequently asked questions
Do Kona petrol, hybrid and Electric all share the same phone mount zones?
Yes. The SX2 Kona (2023-onwards) uses one dashboard design across every powertrain. Mount fit is identical.
Are the vent slats horizontal or vertical?
Horizontal on the centre vents. Vent clips must be horizontal-slat-compatible.
Does the Kona Electric have factory wireless charging?
Yes on N Line S and Ultimate. Advance does not. A magnetic mount plus a Qi-coil in the mount is the simplest workaround on Advance.
Are the twin-screen infotainment/dial displays a mount fit issue?
The 12.3-inch twin screen dominates the top of the dashboard on higher trims. Adhesive mounts placed on top of the dash sit high enough to block driver sight lines; use vent clips or lower-centre-stack placement instead.
One thing many buyers miss
The Kona SX2 was designed EV-first with a very open lower-centre-stack area (no gear lever - Hyundai moved the gear selector to the steering column). That leaves a genuinely useful flat zone below the touchscreen for adhesive mounts, unusual in a modern SUV.
How to check before ordering
- Confirm your car is SX2 (2023-onwards); the older OS Kona had a different dashboard.
- Vent clips must be horizontal-slat-compatible.
- If N Line S or Ultimate, factory Qi charging on centre console.
