Does the 2026 Hyundai Kona AWD SX2 1.6T 8AT AWD need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6L 4-cyl, S8 automatic, AWD | REGULAR | 26 | $2,400 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
