The Hyundai Kona Electric is a compact battery-electric crossover. It sits in the subcompact SUV segment. Five-door body style. Front-wheel drive layout in most markets.
Battery options typically include a standard range and a long range pack. Capacities vary by region, commonly around 39 kWh and 64 kWh. Real-world range often falls between 250 km and 450 km depending on battery size, driving conditions, and climate. DC fast charging support is available. Charging rates usually peak near 70 to 100 kW depending on version. AC home charging supported via onboard charger.
Pricing positions the Kona Electric below larger EV crossovers but above entry-level hatchback EVs. It suits urban drivers, commuters, and buyers moving from small ICE SUVs. Within the brand lineup, it sits below the larger Hyundai Ioniq 5 and alongside sedan-focused models like the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Key alternatives include the Kia Niro EV and Tesla Model Y. Compared to the Model Y, the Kona Electric targets lower cost and smaller size rather than performance and space.
