Kona Electric 39 kWh (MY18-19)

The Hyundai Kona Electric 39 kWh (MY18-19) is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2018 to 2019, when it cost £27,250 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.7 seconds, slower than 89% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 152 miles (245 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 238th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (160 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 39.2 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 37 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 137 miles (221 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).

Second-hand, a 2018 example is estimated at £4,600–£6,800 and a 2019 one at £5,400–£7,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2018 car should still manage about 129 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
