Hyundai continues to succeed in the electric vehicle market, releasing popular models like the IONIQ 5 and 6, and now the Kona Electric, giving its long-time fans and shoppers plenty to choose from in 2025.

The Kona Electric follows the same aesthetic as the gas-powered model, except for the engine, of course. With this SUV, you see compact sizing, 200 to 261 miles of range per charge, 133 to 201 horsepower depending on trim level, and a comfortable starting price of $32,875. This EV seats five people, is fun to drive, and promises plenty of emission-free mileage each time you put your foot on the pedal, making it a perfect choice for the year.

Without further ado, let's dive into the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric SUV!

What's New for 2025?

Regarding the changes and updates on the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric SUV, there are some exciting extras. Most notably, the Kona Electric family grows with the addition of the sportier N-Line trim. It fits just below the top Limited model and will boast restyled bumpers, side skirts, and unique 19-inch wheels. Inside, you also have more features previously exclusive to the Limited trim (interior lighting and exterior power delivery) and a new Ultimate Red Metallic paint choice. Besides those changes, there will be nothing significantly new for this series.

Modern Exterior

Following its ICE model's recent refresh, you will also notice the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric sports a modern body with LED lighting, distinct grille coloring, and a low profile from front to rear. With this vehicle, Hyundai has completely changed what the Kona once looked like, opting for a future-forward subcompact vehicle that feels current and exciting.

Notably, this SUV will offer standard specifications, including 17-inch alloy wheels, 215/60R17 tires, LED daytime running lights, High Beam Assist, heated body-color or gloss black side mirrors, active shutters at the front grille, and even a rear spoiler. Of course, as you move up in trim, you will have bigger wheels and nicer finishes inside and outside your Kona.

Across all five trims this year, Hyundai provides plenty of bells and whistles as standard, only enhancing them as you move up in model.

2025 Hyundai Kona Electric Dimensions

Getting into the dimensions of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric, this subcompact SUV will measure:

• Wheelbase: 104.7 inches
• Length: 171.5 inches
• Width: 71.9 inches
• Height: 62.0 inches (62.2 with roof rails)
• Minimum Ground Clearance: 5.9 inches

Premium Interior

For the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric's interior, the main cabin is just as exciting as the exterior of this model. Hyundai has spent time thinking about the first-row passengers and those in the second row. In standard Kona EVs, you can expect features like cloth seating surfaces, a 6-way manually adjustable driver and passenger seat, a 60/40 split fold-flat rear seatback, a premium 12.3-inch infotainment display, AM/FM/HD Radio™/SiriusXM audio system, and a Rear View Monitor with parking guidance.

Again, the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric's interior will include more as you move up in trim. The N-Line and Limited will offer the most bells and whistles as standard.

Cargo Space

The cargo space and dimensions for the all-new Kona Electric will be as follows:

• Seats up: 25.5 cubic feet
• Seats down: 63.7 cubic feet

EV Motor and Performance

Regarding the EV motor and performance of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric, this futuristic SUV is very perky, thanks to its battery and motor. Specifically, you can expect a standard 48.6-kWh battery with an estimated range of 200 miles in this nameplate. All trims have front-wheel drive and are powered by a single electric motor. In higher trims like the N-Line and Limited, a more powerful 201-horsepower version is available, thanks to its 64.8-kWh battery.

0-60 MPH Times

The 0-60 MPH test times for the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric are exciting, too, with the latest addition of N-Line making for even better road speed. With the non-performance models, test times came back at 7.0 seconds, while the N-Line returned at around 6.4 seconds. Either way, this is a fast model, especially considering its price point.

Fuel Economy and MPGe

For the fuel economy and MPGe of the all-new Hyundai Kona Electric, drivers can expect up to 131 city / 105 highway while on the road. Remember, this model utilizes a battery (48.6-64.8 kWh 269-358 V lithium-ion), so it will not have a typical fuel rating by the EPA. Instead, you have a miles-per-gallon electric scoring.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

The battery range, charging, and life of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric are impressive, with standard models getting a 48.6 kWh lithium-ion battery capable of reaching ~200 miles. The larger battery pack is 64.8 kWh and will achieve up to 261 miles on a full charge. With charging, this model is equipped to handle Level 1, 2, or 3 DC fast charging, with faster charging reaching 161 miles in 43 minutes (80% charged).

On Level 2 adapters, you can expect wait times of 4.92 to 6.7 hours. If you go with a Level 1 charge, your Kona will take around 50 hours to fully charge again. Hyundai offers an industry-leading battery warranty that lasts ten years/100,000 miles, which is worth mentioning.
