2024 Hyundai Kona Electric: What We Know So Far

Mục Lục

Overview

The newest iteration of the Hyundai Kona Electric is meant to turn heads. And it will. Beginning its second generation as a more cyborg-inspired fully-electric crossover, the new Kona Electric makes the last five years of the Kona look like a total yawn. The 2024 Kona has grown in length, width, and wheelbase, so we expect more cargo space, a smoother ride, and possibly a larger battery with more total driving range. Hyundai holds the details of its cute new Kona closely guarded, but the photos illustrate just how big a change Hyundai’s tiniest electric crossover will undergo. The gas-powered Kona, reviewed separately, also gets a complete overhaul for 2024.

What’s New for 2024?

2024 marks the beginning of an all-new generation of the Hyundai Kona Electric. It’s longer, wider, and uses a longer wheelbase to maximize its utility. A fresh new look makes the 2024 Kona Electric unmistakably different from the outgoing model. With wide-spanning LED headlights and taillights, the theme for the new Kona is pixels. Details about pricing, battery size, and total driving range have yet to be announced. We’ll update this space when that information becomes available.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

$36,000 (est)

SEL

$40,000 (est)

Limited

$45,000 (est)

The SEL trim offers a variety of standard equipment that the base SE misses out on. Its heated front seats are an important feature for areas that experience low temperatures, but not necessary everywhere. All three trim levels are equipped with the same battery pack and the same permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The new Kona Electric receives a massive improvement in fit and finish for the new generation. To elevate the subcompact EV from an eco-friendly-feeling box, Hyundai opens up the interior space with a floating horizontal center pad to remove some of the division between front passenger seats. Ambient lighting also brings a little bit of moodiness and personalization to the cabin that helps illuminate the new Kona’s fresh cockpit design.

Infotainment and Connectivity

To stay competitive in the pixel wars, the new Kona Electric is outfitted with two 12.3-inch displays to handle vehicle info and infotainment. This new seamless unit replaces the previous generation’s standard 8.0-inch touchscreen and is larger than the available 10.3-inch display. Wireless Apply CarPlay and Android Auto will likely be standard equipment.
