Hyundai Kona Wiper Blade Size & Fitting Guide (2023-2024)
Wiper Blade Sizes
Front blade lengths and arm fitting for the Hyundai Kona, taken from the Bosch and Valeo entries in the TecDoc-derived parts catalogue. Catalogues publish a front set as two lengths and do not state which blade belongs on the driver’s arm of a right-hand-drive car, so this table labels the blades by length rather than by side. Measure the blade you are replacing, or check both arms, before you order.
| Position | Blade length | Arm fitting |
|---|---|---|
| Front pair | Disputed — Bosch, Valeo, Hella, Maxgear, Oximo, Heyner all list 650 mm / 26 in + 400 mm / 16 in; Blue Print and Quinton Hazell list 660 mm / 26 in + 400-406 mm / 16 in | Hook (9×3 / 9×4) |
| Rear | No data available | — |
Recommended Wiper Blades for Hyundai Kona

Confidence in this data: Medium — SX2 fitment data is thin and Bosch lists no SX2-specific A-series Original, unusual for a 2023 car
Checked against: Autodoc Kona SX2
What Fitting Type?
Catalogue fitting for the Hyundai Kona: Hook (J-hook)
Adapter note. The Bosch set listed for this car is an Aerotwin Retrofit (AR-prefix), which uses the universal 9×3 / 9×4 hook adapter and fits any standard hook arm.
Fit blades in pairs. Both front blades age at the same rate, so replacing only the streaking one usually means doing the other within weeks.
Recommended Wiper Blades
Valeo VH154
FM65 575009 (650) + FM40 575002 (400) singles; VH154 574629 / VH144 574619 hybrids. No SX2-specific Valeo set.

The rear blade for this vehicle is not established in the data we checked. No data available. Use a seller’s registration lookup rather than buying on length alone.
How to Replace Wiper Blades
Changing the front blades on the Hyundai Kona takes a few minutes and needs no tools.
- Lift the arm away from the glass until it locks upright, and lay a folded cloth on the screen in case it drops.
- Release the old blade. Slide the blade down towards the base of the arm, then unhook the J-hook from the blade’s bridge and lift the blade clear.
- Compare old and new side by side before fitting — same length, same connector. If the adapter does not match, stop; forcing it damages the arm.
- Fit the new blade until the catch clicks home, then tug it gently to confirm it is locked.
- Lower the arm back to the glass by hand. Repeat on the other side, then test with plenty of washer fluid on a wet screen.
Never let a bare arm snap back onto the glass — a windscreen chipped that way is not covered by the blade warranty.
When to Replace Your Wipers
Wiper rubber hardens with UV and heat rather than with mileage, so a set on a car that is parked outside will usually be finished in about 12 months whatever the distance covered. Replace them when you see any of the following:
- Streaks or a haze left behind on the return sweep
- Juddering or chattering across the glass
- Missed strips of screen, especially at the top of the sweep
- Splits, curling or a shiny, glazed edge on the rubber
- Squealing that does not clear with a wash and a wipe of the rubber
Clean the rubber with a damp cloth every few weeks and clear leaves and grit from the base of the screen; both add months to a set. A blade that still streaks after cleaning is worn, not dirty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Hyundai Kona need?
Sources disagree for the Hyundai Kona. Disputed — Bosch, Valeo, Hella, Maxgear, Oximo, Heyner all list 650 mm / 26 in + 400 mm / 16 in; Blue Print and Quinton Hazell list 660 mm / 26 in + 400-406 mm / 16 in Because the figures conflict, measure the blades on your own car before ordering.
What fitting type do Hyundai Kona wipers use?
The Hyundai Kona is catalogued as: Hook (J-hook)
What rear wiper blade does a Hyundai Kona take?
No data available for the rear blade on the Hyundai Kona. Where suppliers disagree or list nothing, we say so rather than guess — check by registration.
How often should I replace Hyundai Kona wiper blades?
About once a year for most UK cars. Wiper rubber degrades with UV, heat and grit rather than with mileage, so a car parked outside will need blades sooner than the distance covered suggests. Replace them as soon as they streak, judder or miss part of the sweep after cleaning.

How we check fitment for this guide
We cross-reference fitment figures against manufacturer specifications and OE-supplier catalogue data where available, and matched to the standard codes that actually govern fit — battery type/group sizes, wiper lengths and fitting types, bulb fitment codes, tyre size markings, and oil specifications. We work by make, model, year, engine, and build date, because a single model can take different parts across its life. Where the right part depends on your exact vehicle, we tell you to confirm by registration or VIN. More on our method →
