Hyundai Kona Electric verdict
2023 onwards
(change model)
Is it any good?
On first acquaintance, yes, the Hyundai Kona Electric is rather good. It’s not the most exciting thing on four wheels, but you detect the effort that’s gone into this small electric SUV very easily. Anyone upgrading from the previous version is going to be pleasantly surprised, we reckon.
The extra space is the immediate benefit. But the level of refinement, the comfort, the solid feel to the build quality and the sheer amount of standard equipment should all help the Kona Electric find happy buyers. And that’s before you consider the prospect of over 300 miles of driving range per charge and enough buttons to make navigating all that equipment relatively easy.
