The Hyundai Kona Electric is all-new for 2024, designed as an EV first from the bottom up. It's available with two battery configurations, with the long range model claiming 261 miles of driving range. And, while it's slotted as an entry-level EV, it brings some nice touches like a roomy cabin, heated seats and a modern infotainment system.
Make sure you also do Range test with climate control on
Looks like a nice car, we’ll see what the road test says. I just don’t trust Hyundai in regards to reliablility yet specially on an electric vehicle.
should be noted that the Kona does not qualify for the EV tax credit. But Hyundai has been offering a factory rebate for 7,500 since the start of the year. So out the door price is even less. Tough typical dealership problem I’ve noticed a few trying to pocket the rebate for themselves.
