Overview

Value first, with style that doesn't feel like a compromise

Stand-out styling, an inviting interior, and a low sticker price are what give the Hyundai Kona Electric its appeal over other electric subcompact SUVs with more power and range. For 2027, the Kona Electric is available only in base SE trim, meaning a single-motor electric powertrain and smaller battery pack limit output to 133 horsepower and EPA-estimated range to 200 miles.

Those aren't class-leading figures, but what the Kona Electric lacks in performance, it makes up for with value. It's positioned as one of the least expensive electric SUVs on the market, and a modern interior, ample storage space, and spunky sheetmetal make it an attractive package for the price.

After skipping the 2026 model year, the Kona Electric has returned to the U.S. market. Despite the Kona Electric lineup briefly growing to include a sportier N Line trim in 2025, Hyundai has cut everything but the base SE for 2027: the smaller 48.6-kWh battery and 133-hp motor are now the only configuration offered. Shoppers who want more power and range should cross-shop the Kia Niro EV, which costs around $6,000 more but offers significantly more range with a larger battery and a 201-hp motor similar to what the Kona Electric's now-discontinued SEL, N Line, and Limited trims once provided.

The Verdict

"What the Hyundai Kona Electric lacks in performance and range, it makes up for with practicality, style, and a seriously low sticker price." (Car and Driver)

FAQ

Common Questions

How much does the 2027 Hyundai Kona Electric cost?

Hyundai hasn't announced final 2027 pricing, but based on the most recent SE pricing, the Kona Electric is expected to start around $33,000, before tax, title, and dealer fees. It's positioned as one of the least expensive electric SUVs sold in America. Contact McCarthy Hyundai of Blue Springs for current pricing on in-stock units.

What trim levels does the 2027 Kona Electric come in?

Only one: the base SE. Hyundai discontinued the higher-power SEL, N Line, and Limited trims, so every 2027 Kona Electric uses the same 133-hp single motor and 48.6-kWh battery pack.

What's the range and battery size?

The Kona Electric SE is EPA-estimated at 200 miles of range from its 48.6-kWh lithium-ion battery, paired with a 133-hp front-wheel-drive single motor. That's on the lower end for the electric subcompact SUV class.

How fast does the Kona Electric charge?

On a DC fast charger, Hyundai says the Kona Electric can charge from 10 to 80 percent in about 45 minutes. A full charge on a Level 2 (240V) home charger takes roughly 4 hours 55 minutes.

How quick is it?

Car and Driver estimates 0–60 mph in about 8.6 seconds for the 133-hp SE trim, making it one of the less peppy electric subcompact SUVs. A previous, more powerful Kona Electric configuration with 201 hp was tested at 7.0 seconds, but that version has been discontinued.

What's new for the 2027 Kona Electric?

After skipping the 2026 model year, the Kona Electric returns for 2027 in a single, value-focused SE trim. Despite the lineup briefly growing to include a sporty N Line trim in 2025, Hyundai has cut everything but the base SE.

How does it compare to the Kia Niro EV?

The Kia Niro EV costs around $6,000 more than the Kona Electric SE, but offers noticeably more range and power, comparable to the larger battery and 201-hp motor previously available on the Kona Electric's now-discontinued higher trims.
