Hyundai’s next-gen Kona EV 2024 - Design Features | Walkaround Official
19Hyundai’s next-gen Kona EV is a little bigger and goes a tad further.
Hyundai’s 2024 Kona compact SUV has been redesigned with the EV version in mind and can travel a European WLTP-estimated 304 miles on one charge.
Kona EV is a relatively unsung mass-market electric SUV compared to the Tesla Model Y and Mustang Mach-E, but now it’s been redesigned from the ground up as primarily an EV. It carries a 65.4 kWh battery that enables about 304 miles (490 km) of range on a full charge based on European WLTP estimates.
The previous 2023 model Kona had a similarly sized 64 kWh battery (long range) with a European WLTP range of 301 miles (484 km). The US Environmental Protection Agency’s range estimates are generally more conservative than the WLTP; the agency rated the 2023 Kona EV’s range at 258 miles on a single charge, for example. In an email to The Verge, Hyundai’s senior manager for product and advanced powertrain PR, Derek Joyce, wrote that the US range has not yet been finalized but will be revealed at this year’s New York auto show, which is in April.
