About the Hyundai Kona
The Hyundai Kona is the second-smallest SUV offered by the Korean car maker.
Choice is vast, with everything from affordable 2.0-litre petrol power to high-performance turbo models, through to fully electric variants at the top end.
The Hyundai Kona line-up is mostly front drive, with all-wheel drive reserved for the punchy N-Line variants yet not the full-fat N models with their sub-6-second 0-100km/h ability. The four electric models, while at the top of the Kona line-up, still represent the “affordable” side of the EV spectrum. Two trim levels are offered, along with two battery sizes and two outputs from the single motor.
The cheaper variant provides 100kW, a 39kWh battery, and delivers a claimed range of 305km. Step up to the Extended model and this jumps to 150kW of power, a 64kWh battery, and a healthy range of 484km (WLTP).
