2026 Hyundai Kona Electric review
Hyundai Kona Electric: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review
9.0/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Hyundai Kona Electric sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $34,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
