The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6 take the spotlight as far as Hyundai EVs are concerned, but that doesn’t mean that Hyundai’s third EV, the Kona, doesn’t deserve at least a little attention. It starts at $32,675, and it has an estimated range of 200 miles on the dot. If there was one word to describe the electric Kona, it would be “reasonable.” It has a single electric motor that puts out a perfectly reasonable 133 horsepower. When using a DC fast charger, it can replenish its battery from 10% to 80% in a perfectly reasonable 43 minutes.
The Kona sits squarely in the middle of the pack as far as budget EVs go, but that’s not a bad thing at all. Normcore is a prevailing style choice these days, and standing out in the crowd isn’t always everyone’s cup of tea. For everyone whose music taste trends towards Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, and Taylor Swift, there’s the Hyundai Kona.
