City and highway are EPA's adjusted label figures; combined is the 55/45 blend printed on the window sticker. For electric and plug-in trims the MPG columns are MPGe, and the kWh per 100 miles is the figure a charging cost actually turns on; EPA measures it at the wall, so charging losses are already in it. Unrounded combined figures, where EPA publishes them: Kona AWD 27.316; Kona AWD 27.7534; Kona AWD 26.2198; Kona Electric (17 inch Wheels) 115.8945; Kona Electric (19 inch Wheels) 103; Kona Electric Standard Range 118.1279; Kona FWD 30.8156; Kona FWD 31.2807; Kona FWD 28.1363.
What the rating costs per mile
The rating divided by a price, times your miles. It starts at EIA's current U.S. averages and EPA's 15,000 miles so the right-hand column is comparable; type your own pump price, home rate and mileage over them.
| Trim | Runs on | Rated | Per mile | Per year | EPA's figure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kona AWD | Regular Gasoline | 27 MPG | 15.9¢ | $2,380 | $2,500 |
| Kona AWD | Regular Gasoline | 28 MPG | 15.3¢ | $2,295 | $2,400 |
| Kona AWD | Regular Gasoline | 26 MPG | 16.5¢ | $2,472 | $2,600 |
| Kona Electric (17 inch Wheels) | Electricity | 29.0825 kWh/100 mi | 5.3¢ | $792 | $650 |
| Kona Electric (19 inch Wheels) | Electricity | 31 kWh/100 mi | 5.6¢ | $844 | $700 |
| Kona Electric Standard Range | Electricity | 28.5326 kWh/100 mi | 5.2¢ | $777 | $650 |
| Kona FWD | Regular Gasoline | 31 MPG | 13.8¢ | $2,073 | $2,150 |
| Kona FWD | Regular Gasoline | 31 MPG | 13.8¢ | $2,073 | $2,150 |

Per mile = price ÷ rated MPG (gasoline) or price per kWh × kWh per 100 miles ÷ 100 (electricity). Per year = per mile × miles. EPA's figure is its own annual fuel cost at 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national price in force when the file was built; it will differ from the middle columns whenever the price here differs. A plug-in hybrid is shown once on each fuel; its real cost sits between them, by how much of its driving is on the battery.
Fuel only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance or tires, which the True Cost per Mile Calculator adds. Most drivers land below the rating; the True MPG Calculator measures your own from two fill-ups. The EV vs. Gas Cost Calculator sets the electric trim against a gasoline one over a year.
EPA's own figures, and why they differ
The “EPA's figure” column is EPA's annual fuel cost from the same file: 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national fuel price fueleconomy.gov was using on the day the file was built (2026-09-29). fueleconomy.gov recomputes its page every week at the current price, so its number and the file's drift apart between file dates; the middle columns here use a price you can see and change, which is the only honest way to compare two cars. EPA also prints a five-year “you save/spend” against the average new vehicle (saves $8,750 for the Kona Electric Standard Range); it rests on the same assumptions and is not repeated here as a result.
Every figure on this page is a rating, not a measurement of any particular car. The site never calls a rating wrong; it shows what your own price and miles do to it. See the model on fueleconomy.gov.
