The 2025 Hyundai KONA EV is an electric small SUV perfect for urban mobility. With two battery options, athletic performance, and plenty of range, it can easily power your morning commutes and weekend getaways.

2025 Hyundai KONA EV Performance

Hyundai equips the 2025 KONA Electric with a standard 48.6 kWh battery and a single motor driving the front wheels. This setup provides 133 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough for most drivers, including inexperienced drivers and teens. If you need more power, you can opt for the SEL or upper trim levels, all of which come with a 64.8 kWh battery.

This battery also pairs with a front-wheel drivetrain and generates 201 horsepower, so you can enjoy faster acceleration. Eco, Normal, Sport, and Snow drive modes are standard across the lineup, while the shift-by-wire transmission with single-speed reduction gear delivers smooth shifting performance for sportier driving dynamics.

Fuel Economy and Range

Regardless of the battery you choose, the KONA Electric can take you far with few stops at the charging station. The standard battery boasts fuel economy ratings of 118 MPGe combined, and it has a driving range of 200 miles per charge.

The higher-capacity battery boosts the range up to 261 miles per charge, depending on the trim. Both batteries support Level III charging, with a charging time from 10 to 80 percent of about 43 minutes.

Comfort and Utility

The 2025 KONA Electric has an exterior perfectly sized for city driving and a spacious interior with room for five riders and cargo. With 41.7 inches of legroom in the front row, even the tallest drivers can sit in a natural, comfortable position. Both the driver and the front passenger seats have six position-adjustability settings, allowing you to customize comfort and change the seat’s height to suit your needs.

A 60/40 split-folding rear bench is standard in the second row, allowing you to customize the passenger and cargo areas as needed. The rear cargo area has a capacity of 25.5 cubic feet, which is plenty of room for daily items, grocery bags, or luggage for the whole crew. With both sides of the rear backrest folded, this SUV provides a maximum cargo area of 63.7 cubic feet.

Smart Technologies

Designed with modern drivers in mind, this small SUV is packed with smart technologies. The 12.3-inch infotainment system includes smartphone projection capability with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and built-in navigation. You can also connect your devices via Bluetooth for phone control and audio streaming.

Standard across the lineup, the Hyundai Pay capability allows you to pay for gas or parking from the comfort of your vehicle without taking your payment card out of your wallet.
