About the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh

The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh (MY24-25) continues Hyundai’s strong reputation for delivering practical, efficient, and family-friendly electric vehicles, combining impressive range, modern technology, and everyday usability in a compact SUV package. With its distinctive styling, refined driving experience, and generous equipment levels, the Kona Electric remains one of the most well-rounded electric crossovers available.

Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 160 kW and 255 Nm of torque, delivering smooth and responsive performance through a front-wheel-drive layout. Instant electric acceleration allows the Kona Electric to sprint from 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds, while a top speed of approximately 107 mph provides confident performance for urban driving, country roads, and motorway journeys alike.

A 65.4 kWh usable battery pack sits at the heart of the vehicle, providing an excellent balance between efficiency and long-distance usability. According to EV Database estimates, the Kona Electric can achieve a practical real-world driving range of around 242 miles on a full charge, making it an ideal choice for commuting, family transport, and weekend road trips. Official WLTP figures may vary depending on market specification, wheel size, optional equipment, weather conditions, and driving style.

Charging is designed to be both simple and convenient. The Kona Electric supports Type 2 AC charging for home, workplace, and destination charging, alongside CCS DC rapid charging at up to 105 kW. Under suitable conditions, a typical rapid-charging session can take approximately 37 minutes, allowing drivers to add significant range during a short break and continue their journey with confidence.

Inside, the Kona Electric features a modern, technology-focused cabin with a practical layout, high-quality materials, and an extensive suite of connectivity and driver assistance features. Its compact exterior dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre in urban environments, while the spacious interior and elevated seating position deliver the comfort and versatility expected from a contemporary SUV.
