The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric is a battery-electric SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SX2 generation. The 65.4 kWh is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 65.4 kWh version develops 218 hp and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.8 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph). Its power output is about 36% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 26% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 65.4 kWh. The recorded electric range is 490 km (304 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 13.3 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 102 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,355 mm (171.5 in) in length, 1,825 mm (71.9 in) in width, and 1,575 mm (62.0 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,660 mm (104.7 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 466 litres (16.5 cu ft), expanding to 1,300 litres (45.9 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,720 kg (3,792 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 750 kg (1,653 lb). That cargo volume is about 14% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 65.4 kWh and Long Range. Across the range, the specifications span 218 hp, 7.8 s, and 490 km, while listed starting prices run from $35,550-$36,225. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric is strongest on price, while towing capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
