WE’RE testing the Kona here in top-spec Ultimate Long Range guise. It’s priced from £43,095, which is high when compared with the entry-level models, but is still significantly cheaper than the Honda before any financial incentives are factored in.
Tech highlights
FOR the latest-generation Kona Electric, Hyundai listened to feedback from owners of the previous version. With many desiring more practicality, the new model has grown larger than its predecessor.
There were very few complaints about the powertrain, which is why the motor and battery specs haven’t altered significantly from the first-generation model. At 215bhp, it’s 14bhp
