The Kona Electric shares with its gas-powered siblings a new architecture that was developed primarily for EV use, and brings significantly enlarged dimensions inside and out
The three finalists five years ago in the Utility category of the North American Car of the Year awards included an Acura and a Jaguar – premium vehicles that lost to a humble subcompact underdog, the Hyundai Kona.
Now there’s an all-new and upsized Kona lineup vying for the 2024 NACOTY awards, and as a juror I’m back in Ann Arbor, Mich., for the program’s annual test event to choose the finalists.a new architecture that was developed primarily for EV use, and brings significantly enlarged dimensions inside and out. The redesign also ups the ante in terms of advanced driver-assist and convenience technology.
Pricing is not yet available, but because the gas models have increased , it’s likely the 2024 Electric will do likewise when it arrives early next year. The outgoing 2023 model started at $44,599. In some markets the 2024 Electric is offered with a smaller 48-kilowatt-hour battery at a lower price, though we don’t know whether that will come to Canada.
