Kona Electric 64 kWh (MY20-21)

The Hyundai Kona Electric 64 kWh (MY20-21) is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2019 to 2021, when it cost £39,150 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds, slower than 70% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 242 miles (390 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 42% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 143rd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (164 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 64 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 61 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 226 miles (363 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).

Second-hand, a 2019 example is estimated at £7,800–£10,800 and a 2021 one at £10,700–£13,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2019 car should still manage about 211 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
