The Hyundai Kona Electric has been updated to offer more space, modern technology, and a polished drive. Despite the improvements, the price remains reasonable compared to its predecessor. Is it a significant improvement or just a small upgrade?

The Hyundai Kona Electric has grown up. The first-generation car was early to the electric car party in Australia , but it has recently been overtaken by newer rivals offering more refined driving experiences, more modern interior technology, and more space. That’s where the second-generation car here comes in. Like the petrol and hybrid Kona with which it shares its bones, the Electric is designed to offer more space, up-to-date technology, and a more polished drive than its predecessor.

Despite all those steps forward, it hasn’t been smacked with a monster price hike. The base Kona Electric is actually $500 cheaper than the car it replaces, although the top-end Premium Extended Range on test here is $4000 more expensive than its now-defunct equivalent. Does the new Kona Electric represent a great leap forward, or is it an incremental upgrade to the old model? How much does the Hyundai Kona cost? You pay a healthy premium to get your hands on the Premium Extended Range
