About the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric
2nd generation, first U.S. model year of the redesign.
Hyundai markets the Kona Electric as an approachable all-electric small SUV: easy to park, roomy for its footprint, and filled with familiar features rather than quirky EV-only design choices. Its core appeal is everyday usability—SUV cargo flexibility, a modern dual-screen dashboard, helpful safety tech, and enough range for regular commuting and errands. Within Hyundai’s EV lineup, it serves as the smaller, more conventional alternative to the larger Ioniq models.
The SE is the essentials-focused commuter, with a 48.6-kWh battery, a 133-hp front motor, navigation, and wireless smartphone integration. The SEL adds the 261-mile range setup, heated front seats, and a power driver seat. The Limited emphasizes comfort and easier parking with ventilated front seats, surround-view cameras, remote parking assistance, and Bose audio.
