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
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
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
Pros Handsome styling, decent EV driving range, smart infotainment tech.
Cons Disappointing road manners, powertrain runs out of steam at higher speeds, front seats could be more supportive.
Pros Composed handling Strong equipment list Easy-to-use controls
Cons Disappointing interior plastics Not the most practical in the class Not quite as refined as other premium rivals
