HYUNDAI KONA, A GAME CHANGER?

EV Channels Review

Jonny Smith's extensive 1000-mile road trip review of the Hyundai Kona Electric reveals it to be a highly competent and surprisingly efficient small SUV. He was particularly impressed by its real-world range, consistently achieving around 270 miles on the 64kWh model, significantly exceeding its official 300-mile figure under various conditions, including motorway driving. The reviewer highlights the car's comfortable ride, effortless driving experience, and impressive technology, such as the auto-regeneration system and available heated/cooled seats, all offered at a competitive price point, especially when considering the government grant. While acknowledging minor drawbacks like the boot being smaller than a Nissan Leaf's and the driver's seat not being ideal for taller individuals, Smith concludes that the Kona Electric is a "bloody brilliant electric car" and a potential "game-changer" in the EV market due to its blend of range, efficiency, technology, and value.
