The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric is a fun, fast, and fully electric SUV model that has received great feedback from drivers of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're a die-hard EV fan or have been skeptical, Hyundai brings new life to the Kona family with its electric configuration, which comes in three distinct trim levels. Of course, there are similarities we'll cover, as well as the differences in trim that Hyundai has to offer this year. Let's cover the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim levels and other fun stuff below!
2024 Hyundai Kona Electric SE
The first of the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim levels is your SE model, which starts at under $35k. This model is packed with standard specs, including a comprehensive safety suite, upgraded tech, and a recently refreshed exterior that follows through all three models. Drivers in the Hyundai Kona Electric in 2024 can enjoy the following:
Pricing
Your 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric SE trim will retail for $32,675 to start. This also makes it one of the most affordable EV SUVs on the electric market this year, being less to start than the Mustang Mach-E, Tesla Model Y, and its sister, the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5.
Key Features
Diving into the key features and standard specs inside and outside a 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, you will get to enjoy the following:

2024 Hyundai Kona Electric SEL
The next of the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim levels is the SEL, which is a nice middle ground between the entry-level SE and the more expensive Limited nameplate. This specific SUV offers a nice set of additional standard specs, including everything inside the SE, all for under $40k. Most Kona Electric drivers prefer the SEL because it offers a bit of everything, so that is something to keep in mind while shopping.
Pricing
For the price of a 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, you can expect to spend $36,675 to start. This is not much more than the SE, which retails for $4,000 less, all things considered.
Key Features
Getting into the key features of the SEL Kona Electric, you will get to enjoy the following standard specifications, plus everything inside the base Kona model:
- 129 City/103 Hwy/116 Combined
- 150-kW (201-horsepower) electric motor
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Heated front seats
- Power driver seat with lumbar
- Roof side rails
2024 Hyundai Kona Electric Limited
Lastly, the Limited SUV is the highest of your 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim levels, boasting the most included bells and whistles. As your more luxurious choice, the Limited Kona EV retails for around $40,000 and will be the best trim for those who want extra safety features, driver-assistance technology, comfort, and infotainment.
Pricing
The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric's price is $41,045, still below the average for the electric SUV segment. As Hyundai's most upgraded nameplate, the Limited Kona offers everything you'll need on or off the road and boasts enhanced electrified features. Throughout this release, we see very fair pricing from Hyundai.
Key Features
To dive deeper into the key features of a 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric Limited model, here's what drivers can expect:

- 150-kW (201-horsepower) electric motor

Choosing the Right Hyundai Kona Electric Trim for You
For anyone who's torn between the three 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim levels, we don't blame you. However, the first thing to consider is your budget, which will be unique for everyone. The Kona EV has seen a pretty fancy redesign compared to its original non-electric Kona aesthetic, so you can expect an enhanced experience across the board. It's spacious, future-forward, priced right, and offers up to 261 miles per charge. What more could we ask for?
Define Your Budget and Priorities
As we said, defining your budget before choosing a Hyundai Kona EV is a good idea. Are you looking to stay under $35,000? If so, we'd recommend a base SE model. Are you more comfortable under $40,000? The SEL is a decent choice then. And for those who are hoping to stay under $45,000, the Limited is a mere $41,045, making it a perfect option. Again, the average electric SUV retails for $50,000, so even at your highest trim configuration, the Kona is a competitive four-door vehicle.
Research Each Trim Level
In addition to defining your budget and needs, we want shoppers to research each 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim, covering all three. The SE, SEL, and Limited are all different, each with its own set of standard materials, colors, tech, safety, and performance. See what makes the most sense for your everyday driving habits and lifestyle, and feel free to swing by your local dealer, Colonial Hyundai, in New London, CT, to go over these in greater detail.
Test Drive Different Trim Levels
One of the best ways to see if a car is right for you, electric or not, is to test drive it. Here at Colonial Hyundai, we have plenty of inventory ready to test, and we will be more than happy to arrange a time for you to see which of the three 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric trim levels feels most comfortable in real life. You don't know until you're inside one.
Consider Future Resale Value
Although the EV market is fairly fresh, and the Kona EV is new, this is still something to consider in the long and short term. Hyundai vehicles tend to hold value decently for their first year, three years, and five years, eventually becoming cheaper the longer they have been driving. That is normal for the car market, so research and see what long-term investment goals you have with your vehicle.
Consult Reviews and Expert Opinions
In addition to everything else we've said in this article, it is ALWAYS a good idea to consult reviews and expert opinions when buying a new or used model. You have plenty of reviews and ratings with any of the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric models, so check out YouTube videos, articles, and official Consumer Reports ratings before making any decisions.
