Kona Electric 65 kWh (MY24-25)

The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh (MY24-25) is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £31,250. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.8 seconds, slower than 69% 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 3.7 mi/kWh (168 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 65.4 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 79 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 242 miles (390 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery.

Its UK starting price works out at £129 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £11,900–£13,100 and a 2025 one at £17,800–£20,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 228 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
