Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

PROS
Striking styling means it stands out
Ample interior room and luggage space

CONS
Disappointing battery range
If you want a sporty car, look elsewhere
Doesn't feel as nippy as its rivals

By: 
parkers.co.uk

PROS
Mainly cushy ride
Good quality interior
Hushed at motorway speeds

CONS
Relatively slow acceleration
Not as roomy as some rivals
Competent handling but not particularly fun to drive

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Distinctive looks
100kW charging is standard
Same space inside as regular C4

Cons
Modest real-world range
Not that affordable
Lots of body roll in the bends

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Remains one of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today.

Pros
Excellent,
efficient powertrain.
64kWh version provides big range

Cons
Should be more spacious.
Material quality could be better

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Great electric range
Good fun to drive
Generous equipment

Cons
Other EVs have nicer interiors
Boot is a bit small
Quickest charging difficult to achieve

By: 
carwow.co.uk

The 64kWh version of the Hyundai Kona Electric has a fantastic real-world range between charges, plus it’s quick and well-equipped. However, excellent rivals including the Kia e-Niro and Volkswagen ID.3 are better all-rounders thanks to their superior ride comfort and more practical interiors.

Pros
Near 260-mile range in real-world conditions (64kWh battery)
Strong acceleration
Even the base model is well equipped

Cons
Choppy ride
Not as roomy as rivals
Interior could be classier
