2024 Hyundai Kona Electric Review / Bigger but More Expensive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The market had a surge of compact crossover SUVs not too long ago. But now in 2024, it’s a dribble. The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric is one of the last few crossover EVs that are still available and at a somewhat reasonable price. This redesigned 2024 Kona EV is roughly $2,000 CAD more expensive than the outgoing model. So what do you get for the extra money?
One thing that you won’t get for the extra cost is more power. In fact, you lose some. This 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric is still powered by a single motor which delivers its power to the front wheels only. In the previous generation Kona electric, it produced 201 hp & 290 lb-ft of torque (150 kW & 393 Nm). In this 2024 Kona Electric, it produces the same 201 hp but only 188 lb-ft of torque (150 kW & 255 Nm). That is a huge drop. Furthermore, this new car is approximately 100 kg (220 lbs) heavier at a curb weight of 1,765 kg (3,891 lbs). As a result, the new Kona EV doesn’t have the same pep as the old one did.
Because the battery size has not increased by much and the car is heavier than before, the estimated driving range has not increased… by much. The old Kona EV had a range of up to 415 km (258 miles). The new Kona EV has an estimated range of up to 420 km (261 miles). A 5 km (3.1 mile) difference if you’re keeping up.

    Thanks for reviewing this Kona. Heavier, less instant, thirstier, sloppier, but a fair amount more rear legroom and cargo room. So it tries to be like a large heavy car but shouldn't have had to. They could have kept it nice and firm and more instant. The previous Kona is way too cramped. Another thing that's difficult to get over, is how the car looks like it's been in a car crash. It seems to me that more preferable would be a score a used Niro, which size size, is like this Kona, but less sluggish and less sloppy. Anti EV hype brought the used EV prices down, so yeah. And those tanked prices makes buying new rather unattractive! Way too much depreciation too quickly !

    Mhmm, I still recommend to people to go hybrid or phev. It's the best of both worlds.

    @@MGReviewsBlog I don't like the idea of hauling around two power-trains, and how PHEVs will still use gas. I much prefer the more direct and simple approach of a full EV.

    @@MGReviewsBlog PHEV's in Canada are really hard to come by currently. Wait times for a Kia Niro PHEV, Sportage/Tucson PHEV, Prius Prime, Rave 4 Prime etc seem to still be over 1 year, or 2 years to "We don't know when they will come". HEV are more available, but still 6 months to 1 year... or more for Corolla Cross Hybrid. With the Fed/Provincial rebates, PHEV units are often less expensive to take home than HEV counterparts. Rebates are being phased out though. In 3 years, Canadians will be paying full price on these. Wait times for the EV equivalents seem to be much less, weeks to a few months. People can only buy and drive home what is actually available.
