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.

The 2026 Hyundai Kona Electric Extended Range is a practical five-seater SUV that suits Aussie buyers after an affordable, hassle-free electric daily driver. It's got a seriously impressive 395km electric range, so you can comfortably handle most commutes and weekend trips on a single charge. Just keep in mind that charging infrastructure is still rolling out across regional Australia, so plan accordingly if you're not in a metro area.

The 2026 Hyundai Kona Electric Premium is a compact electric SUV suited to Australian families seeking affordable zero-emission motoring, with a 395km driving range that covers most daily commutes plus weekend trips without frequent charging. Its standout strength is the combination of 150kW performance, 5-star ANCAP safety rating, and Hyundai's comprehensive 5-year warranty, delivering confidence for EV newcomers. One thing to consider: at 1600kg kerb weight, it's notably heavier than petrol equivalents, which means you'll want to factor in available home or work charging infrastructure, as public fast-charging costs add up over time despite relatively modest ~$1353 annual running expenses.

About $2,572 above the standard Calligraphy Hybrid at $89,828 and $15,900 above the base Elite at $76,500. Same 2.5L turbo hybrid AWD as the rest of the range: 245kW/460Nm combined, six-speed automatic, claimed 6.8 L/100km.

Cabin sticks with dual 12.3-inch displays, 14-speaker sound, Nappa leather with metallic black trim, satellite navigation, power front seats and V2L. Palisade sales are up 38.1 per cent for the first half of 2026 and this Black Ink is the visual halo. ANCAP not yet rated on the second-generation car. LCT slug is around $3,470 on the eight-seat because the hybrid does not qualify as fuel-efficient.
