Hyundai KONA, SX2 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Hyundai KONA, SX2 (EU) models utilize brake fluid with a capacity range of 0.7 to 0.8 liters. Service intervals occur every 30000 km or 24 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • Across all listed Hyundai KONA SX2 (EU) configurations, brake fluid level is specified as "between min and max," which refers to the fluid reservoir's minimum and maximum markings rather than a fixed fill volume. This approach is standard for hydraulic brake systems, where the fluid level naturally drops slightly as brake pads wear and the caliper pistons extend further.
  • The 1.6 T-GDI (101 kW) variant with a 2024 start year and the 1.6 T-GDI (2023-2024) variant both carry an explicit change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions. A time-based interval alongside a distance-based one reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time regardless of mileage.
  • The 1.0 T-GDI 48V-Hybrid (2023-2024), the 1.6 T-GDI AWD (2023-2024), and the 1.6 GDI Hybrid (2023-2024) list only the min-to-max level specification without an accompanying change interval in the provided data.
  • The 1.6 GDI Hybrid (95 kW) with a 2024 start year similarly carries only the min-to-max level specification, with no change interval listed in the row data.
  • The 1.6 T-GDI AWD (2023-2024) is a separate configuration from the front-wheel-drive 1.6 T-GDI (2023-2024), and the two differ in their brake fluid service data. The AWD variant does not carry the 30,000 km / 24-month change interval that appears for the front-wheel-drive version.
  • The 1.6 GDI Hybrid (2023-2024) and the 1.6 GDI Hybrid (95 kW) with a 2024 start year represent two distinct entries for hybrid powertrains. Both share the hydraulic brake system note, which is relevant for hybrid vehicles since regenerative braking systems can reduce how frequently the hydraulic circuit is engaged, a factor that may influence fluid degradation rates in practice.
