“The Hyundai Kona Electric’s chunky design makes it one of the more distinctive-looking offerings in the small SUV segment, but it is the choice of two versions, both with a decent driving range, that makes it a winner in our eyes.”

“It might be based upon a middling family car in ICE form, but as an EV, the Hyundai Kona Electric really is an astounding effort. As a state-of-the-art EV that’ll go harder, and faster than all of its rivals, this is the one to go for – some achievement considering it’s far from the newest option available.”

“We take our hats off to Hyundai for making an EV that has an impressive real-world range, but at a reasonable price. It’s one of the most usable electric cars on the market, and while it’s not without fault, it could be the driving force that people need to get into something electric.”

“The Hyundai Kona Electric is the first car to address all the normal objections to electric cars for the average motorist. It has a 279-mile electric range, zero tailpipe emissions, it’s excellent to drive, it’s well equipped, it has a practical body style, and it’s relatively affordable.”

“The Hyundai Kona Electric is one of the best electric cars on the market. It’ll travel far enough between charges to keep most of us happy, and you get a load of standard equipment for your money. It’s so desirable that actually finding one might be tricky, and you’ll pay a premium for it.”

“By offering Tesla-rivalling electric range in a desirable crossover package for an affordable price, Hyundai has already proven it’s onto a winner with the Kona Electric. It has its flaws – a small boot, for example – but it’s still a massively appealing electric car.”

“Hyundai has produced the first viable answer to Tesla’s Model 3… but not enough of them to go around. In such a fast-moving car market, that could prove to be a big problem for the Kona Electric’s prospects.”

“The Hyundai Kona Electric is still a likeable little car. With this smaller battery, it certainly makes a good case for itself as a sensible second car or runaround. The trouble is, by and large, its rivals are smarter and roomier, and some also throw a greater range into the bargain too.”

“The Hyundai Kona Electric comes with a really impressive real-world range. It’s also impressively well equipped, but falters a bit when it comes to interior quality, ride comfort and space. So, if you can afford to, we’d suggest you spend a little more to improve those virtues with the Kia e-Niro.”

“Hyundai has succeeded in creating an eminently usable, fun-to-drive electric car with excellent range. The improvements to both its efficiency and standard equipment following its update in 2020 only increase its appeal, but poor reliability means it is no longer a Which? Best Buy.”
