Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai KONA SX2 (USA) 1.6 T-GDI cooling system holds 8.6-8.9 liters, a capacity range that reflects minor variation depending on fill conditions rather than a fixed single volume.
  • The 2.0 MPi variants carry a smaller cooling system capacity of 7.4 liters, compared to the 8.6-8.9 liter range specified for the 1.6 T-GDI engine, marking a measurable difference between the two engine families.
  • AWD and FWD configurations within the same engine family share identical cooling system capacities, meaning drivetrain layout does not affect coolant volume in either the 1.6 T-GDI or 2.0 MPi specifications.
  • Under normal use conditions, all four configurations follow a 30,000-mile or 24-month coolant change interval, whichever comes first.
  • The 1.6 T-GDI cooling system carries an initial service interval of 120,000 miles or 120 months, a significantly extended schedule tied specifically to the factory-fill coolant rather than subsequent refills.
  • The 2.0 MPi cooling system specifies a first change only interval of 120,000 miles or 120 months, which applies exclusively to the original coolant charge and does not govern subsequent service cycles.
  • A 120-month interval corresponds to 10 years, indicating that the factory-fill coolant in all listed configurations is formulated to remain serviceable for a full decade before the first replacement is due.
