The 2026 Hyundai Kona Electric Standard Range is a practical compact electric SUV that suits buyers seeking affordable EV motoring with genuine everyday usability, offering a 395km driving range that covers most Australian commutes on a single charge. Its standout strength is the combination of low running costs (approximately $1353 annually) and Hyundai's reassuring 5-year warranty, backed by a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. The main consideration is its modest 99kW output and 255Nm torque-adequate rather than quick-so it's best suited to those prioritising efficiency and affordability over performance.

Cabin sticks with dual 12.3-inch displays, 14-speaker sound, Nappa leather with metallic black trim, satellite navigation, power front seats and V2L.
