The Hyundai Kona window sticker — build, options & years
The Hyundai Kona ran from 2018–2026 across 2 generations (2018–2023, 2024–2026). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, including its electric range and MPGe rating.
Which year's sticker do I need? Any Hyundai Kona VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2026, 2025, 2024; the most-complained-about are 2019, 2020, 2021. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Hyundai Kona VIN decoder.
What the Hyundai Kona sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Kona, latest tested year 2027:
The label also prints an estimated $2,000 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 313 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Kona under Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Kona's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2018 to 2027. Worth checking before you compare a Kona sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Kona sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.
What a used Kona sells for now
The label froze the Kona price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Kona by model year, from 101 live US listings:

Where to find the VIN on a Hyundai Kona
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Kona, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Hyundai Kona all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Hyundai Kona whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
