Tested: Hyundai’s new electric Kona SUV

AutoExec Summary

Being an early adopter of electric vehicles can lead to rapid depreciation as technology advances quickly. Hyundai’s 2019 Ioniq has a 36% increase in battery storage capacity compared to the 2018 model, showcasing the swift evolution of EVs. The Hyundai Kona Electric, priced at $64,490, offers a range of up to 449km with a 64kWh lithium-ion battery. While comfortable and efficient, the Kona’s handling and cabin quality may not justify the high EV price tag.
