Hyundai KONA Electric (2018-2023)
Hyundai KONA Electric 39kWh
The Hyundai KONA Electric 39kWh ranks among the more affordable SUVs available to buy. Its charging speed trails most rivals, only about 23 miles in 10 minutes.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 86% of its battery health, roughly 196 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Excellent energy efficiency, with owners commonly reporting 4-5 miles per kWh. Battery recalls affected early cars, with some owners reporting delays in communication from Hyundai and its dealers.
