The Hyundai Kona has quickly grown into one of the most recognisable small SUVs on UK roads.
Since the model was launched in 2017, the Kona has been regularly updated and expanded into hybrid and electric variants.
Making it a popular choice for many drivers.
With so many versions now in circulation, it can sometimes be unclear what the correct tyre pressure should be for your Kona.
To help, we’ve compiled a list of recommended tyre pressures, as stated in Hyundai’s official handbooks.
Below is a list of tyre pressures for the Hyundai Kona—sourced from Hyundai handbooks covering model years between 2025 and 2017*.
If you own an older or less common variant, you may find further information by checking the owner’s manual directly. Or, visiting Hyundai’s official website to locate the handbook for your specific model.

Disclaimer: The information provided in this article is intended for reference purposes only. Tyre pressures can vary based on engine size, wheel size, trim level, and load. Always refer to your vehicle’s official handbook or consult Hyundai directly for the most accurate specifications. We accept no responsibility for any discrepancies or incorrect usage of this data.
Checking your Hyundai’s tyre pressure regularly is essential. Especially before long journeys or periods of heavy use.
Incorrect tyre pressures can have a significant impact on the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Under-inflated or over-inflated tyres tend to wear unevenly and more quickly. Which can shorten their lifespan and reduce fuel efficiency.
Aside from performance, properly inflated tyres also provide better comfort and reduce the risk of tyre failure while driving.
