Electric driving without compromising on everyday practicality.
The Hyundai KONA Electric combines the manageable dimensions and bold styling of the KONA with a fully electric powertrain offering up to 319 miles of WLTP combined range.
There's no petrol engine, no tailpipe emissions while driving and no traditional gear changes – just smooth, quiet electric performance.
Its spacious interior and generous luggage capacity make it practical enough for family life, while rapid charging capability means longer journeys are easily within reach.
Whether you're buying your first electric car or replacing an existing EV, the KONA Electric is designed to fit effortlessly into everyday life.
Range is one of the first things most drivers want to know about an electric car.
The KONA Electric's 65.4kWh Long Range battery provides up to 319 miles of WLTP combined electric range, depending on specification.
That gives you plenty of flexibility for commuting, everyday journeys and longer trips.
As with every electric vehicle, real-world range will vary according to factors including driving style, weather, temperature, speed and use of heating or air conditioning.
But with more than 300 miles available under official WLTP testing, the KONA Electric is a genuinely versatile EV rather than simply a car for shorter journeys.
For most EV drivers, the easiest way to charge is at home.
Connect the KONA Electric to a compatible home wallbox overnight and you can start the following day with the battery ready for your journeys.
When travelling further afield, DC rapid charging allows you to add significant range during a coffee, lunch or comfort stop.
The KONA Electric also includes useful EV-specific technology such as battery pre-conditioning, helping prepare the battery for rapid charging when required.
Its built-in EV Route Planner can also identify charging points along your journey, taking some of the guesswork out of longer electric trips.
Electric power changes the character of the KONA.
Instant torque means acceleration feels smooth and responsive from the moment you press the accelerator, while the absence of conventional gear changes creates a particularly relaxed driving experience.
It's ideal around town, where quiet electric power and regenerative braking make stop-start driving straightforward.
Take it onto faster roads and the KONA Electric remains comfortable and composed, with enough range to make longer journeys a realistic part of everyday ownership.
The KONA Electric can recover energy when slowing down and feed it back into the battery. Adjustable regenerative braking allows you to choose how strongly the car slows when you lift off the accelerator. Select i-PEDAL mode and it's possible to accelerate, decelerate and bring the vehicle to a stop using primarily the accelerator pedal.
It can make driving in busy traffic particularly easy while helping maximise the amount of energy recovered.
The KONA Electric isn't simply a conventional KONA with an electric motor squeezed under the bonnet.
Its design was developed around an EV-derived architecture, helping Hyundai make particularly effective use of the available interior space.
The exterior has its own distinctive EV identity too.
Hyundai's Seamless Horizon Lamp stretches across the front, while pixel-inspired design details give the KONA Electric a futuristic appearance.
Smooth aerodynamic surfaces help efficiency while retaining the confident stance and higher driving position expected from an SUV.
Electric doesn't mean impractical.
The KONA Electric's increased dimensions compared with the previous generation create generous passenger space, particularly in the rear.
There's comfortable seating for five and plenty of useful storage throughout the cabin.
The flexible rear seating makes it easy to switch between carrying passengers and larger loads, giving the KONA Electric the versatility required for shopping, luggage, pushchairs and family days out.
It's an electric SUV designed to be your main car – not simply a second car for shorter journeys.
Technology takes centre stage inside the KONA Electric.
Its curved panoramic display combines two 12.3-inch screens – one for driver information and another for infotainment, navigation and vehicle settings.
Depending on specification, features include:
The result is a modern interior that's highly connected without becoming unnecessarily complicated.
One of the KONA Electric's cleverest features is Vehicle-to-Load technology – V2L. V2L allows energy stored in the car's high-voltage battery to power or charge external electrical equipment. Depending on specification and connection, you can supply up to 3.6kW of power through the onboard socket or exterior charging connection. That could mean charging an electric bike, powering camping equipment or running electrical devices when you're away from a conventional power supply.
Your electric car effectively becomes a large portable battery.
Advance provides an impressive starting specification while retaining the KONA Electric's Long Range battery.
Highlights include:
Advance is particularly appealing if maximum electric range and everyday equipment are higher priorities than sporty styling.
N Line gives the KONA Electric a noticeably sportier appearance.
Highlights include:
It proves choosing an electric SUV doesn't mean giving up distinctive, sporty styling.
N Line S combines the sporty character of N Line with additional premium technology.
Highlights include:
For drivers who want the KONA Electric's sportiest styling with a comprehensive equipment specification, N Line S provides an appealing combination.
Ultimate takes a more premium approach.
Highlights include:
Ultimate is the choice for drivers who prioritise comfort and premium equipment over the sportier appearance of N Line S.
Not sure how far you want to go with electrification?
The KONA Self-Charging Hybrid combines petrol and electric power and doesn't need plugging in. Simply refuel it as you would a conventional car and the hybrid system manages the battery automatically.
The KONA Electric removes the petrol engine completely.
Charge it at home or on the public charging network and you can enjoy up to 319 miles of WLTP electric range with zero tailpipe emissions while driving.
If you're able to charge conveniently at home, work or nearby, the KONA Electric can make a very easy transition into fully electric motoring.
For many drivers, switching to electric is less complicated than they initially imagine. If most of your journeys are comfortably within the KONA Electric's range and you can regularly charge at home, you may rarely need to use a public charger during normal weekly driving.
And when you do travel further, the growing rapid charging network and KONA Electric's built-in route planning technology can help you plan charging stops along the way.
Our team at Tates Hyundai Brighton can also talk you through charging, range and everyday EV ownership if you're considering electric for the first time.
The KONA Electric offers an extensive range of intelligent driver-assistance technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
These systems are designed to provide additional support whether you're driving around town, travelling on the motorway or manoeuvring into a tight parking space.
The KONA Electric is backed by Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, providing long-term reassurance from the day you drive away.
Hyundai also provides an 8-year high-voltage battery warranty, giving additional peace of mind when making the move to electric driving.
With up to 319 miles of electric range, a 65.4kWh Long Range battery and clever technology including Vehicle-to-Load, the Hyundai KONA Electric is designed to make electric driving practical for everyday life.
There's room for the family, plenty of luggage space and enough range to comfortably tackle far more than the daily commute.
Choose from Advance, N Line, N Line S and Ultimate specifications to find the KONA Electric that suits you.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
