For the 2022 Hyundai Kona, the standard front wiper blades are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger’s side, with a 12-inch rear wiper.
The Kona’s wiper sizes can vary by market and trim, so it’s important to verify the exact measurements for your vehicle. Always check the owner's manual, the blade packaging, or the current blades themselves if you’re unsure.
Front Wipers
Before listing the sizes, note that the Kona uses a two-blade front setup to cover the driver’s sweeping arc and the passenger side.
- Driver's side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger side blade: 16 inches
These sizes correspond to the typical two-blade configuration used on 2022 Kona models sold in many markets. When replacing, ensure you select blades that match these lengths and fit your specific trim or region.
Two-blade front setup explained
The front wipers on the Kona are commonly sold as a pair with distinct lengths to optimize visibility across the windshield. Replacements are usually straightforward, and many aftermarket kits are available in 26" and 16" sizes for this model.
Rear Wiper
The rear wiper is a single blade designed to clear the rear window while the hatch is closed.
- Rear blade: 12 inches
Replace the rear blade when it shows streaking or skipping, and consider replacing it in tandem with the front blades as part of a routine maintenance cycle.
Tips for Replacements
When shopping for blades, bring the exact sizes (26", 16" front; 12" rear) or check the vehicle’s VIN to confirm compatibility. If you’re purchasing from a store, you can often use the vehicle make, model, and year to pull up the correct blade sizes. Remember to detach and install blades carefully to avoid damage to the wiper arms.
Summary
The 2022 Hyundai Kona typically uses 26" and 16" front wiper blades (driver and passenger, respectively) and a 12" rear blade. Always confirm with your owner’s manual or by inspecting the current blades, as regional differences or trim levels can lead to slight variations. Regular replacement helps maintain clear visibility in all weather conditions.
