CarTell take
We haven't driven the Kona yet. On paper, the Electric Premium ER pushes $69k drive-away, into Ioniq 5 territory. Cross-shop the bigger E-GMP car if range and 800V charging matter more than Kona packaging.
Why consider it
- The only small SUV in Australia that lets you pick petrol, hybrid, or full EV under one bonnet line.
- The Kona Electric extended range covers around 505 km WLTP.
What to know
- Hybrid is only on selected grades, no entry HEV variant.
- The 2.0L base petrol with CVT also feels strained outside the city.
Who it suits
Singles, couples and small families who want big-car cabin tech in a small SUV with the longest mainstream warranty and a real choice of powertrains.
