Electrifying the Drive: The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric

If you’re looking for a compact SUV with plenty of personality and excellent fuel economy, then you should check out the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric. This EV model has a refreshed design this year, with elevated style and generous standard features. 

The base SE model has an all-electric driving range of 200 miles. This model has an energy efficiency of 131 MPGe in the city, 105 MPGe on the interstate, and 118 MPGe combined. The higher trims, SEL and Limited, have an estimated electric driving range of 261 miles and a combined economy of 116 MPGe. 

The SE is equipped with a 269-volt lithium-ion battery and an electric motor that has an output of 133 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque. FWD is standard for this model, along with a single-speed transmission with responsive shift-by-wire technology. Four selectable drive modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, and Snow) can enhance the traction performance of this EV. Brake regeneration with regenerative brake level control paddles helps keep the battery charged on the road. 

SmartSense

The SE has SmartSense driver assistance features such as rear cross-traffic avoidance and blind spot collision warning. The lane following assist and lane keeping assist features ensure you stay in your lane with moderate steering support, while driver attention warning learns your driving habits to detect distracted driving. 

This model comes with intelligent speed limit assist, which projects visible speed signs on your dashboard just in case you miss the road sign. Highway driving assist works with smart cruise control to maintain an ideal following distance in high-speed traffic situations. Standard safe exit warning locks the rear doors when there is an approaching vehicle until it is safe to exit the vehicle. 

Exterior

The SE has projector LED lights, which provide long-distance road illumination, and LED daytime running lights. High beam assist, a feature that automatically toggles your high beam headlights when there is an approaching vehicle, is standard for this trim. The SE is also equipped with heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals. 

Interior

When you need more cargo space for your sports gear or luggage, you can simply fold down one or both of the 60/40 rear seats. The 12.3-inch touchscreen has an integrated navigation system to provide precise directions. This model has entertainment features like SiriusXM, hands-free Bluetooth, and wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

The SE also has a 12.3-inch digital cluster so you can view your speed and other real-time vehicle information. The SE also comes with a rearview monitor with parking guidance, so you can confidently park in any spot. 


The Kona Electric is a flawless small EV SUV for city and suburban drivers. Take this Hyundai out for a test drive when you visit Bommarito Automotive Group in Ellisville, MO.
