2025 Kona Electric - Upgrades, Features, Performance & Trims!
The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) technology, offering an exceptional driving experience tailored to both urban and rural settings. With notable enhancements from its predecessors, the 2025 Kona Electric stands out in the EV market, providing Canadian drivers with a versatile and efficient option.
Notable Changes This Year
Building upon the success of earlier models, the 2025 Kona Electric introduces several key updates from last model. One significant addition is the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, now standard across all trims, allowing drivers to power external devices directly from the vehicle—a feature particularly beneficial during outdoor activities or emergencies. Additionally, the introduction of the sporty N Line trim offers a dynamic design with restyled bumpers, side skirts, and unique 19-inch wheels, catering to those seeking a more aggressive aesthetic.
Performance and Range
The 2025 Kona Electric offers two battery options to suit varying driving needs. The base model is equipped with a 48.6 kWh battery, delivering an estimated range of 320 kilometres on a full charge. For those requiring extended travel capabilities, a 64.8 kWh battery is available, providing an impressive estimated range of 420 kilometres. Both configurations feature front-wheel drive and are powered by a single electric motor, with the more powerful version delivering 201 horsepower, ensuring responsive acceleration and a smooth driving experience.
Charging Capabilities
Efficiency in charging is a cornerstone of the Kona Electric's design. Utilizing a 400V DC fast charger, the battery can be replenished from 10% to 80% in approximately 43 minutes, making it convenient for drivers on the go. For home charging solutions, a Level 2 (240V) charger can fully charge the battery from 10% to 100% in about 6 hours, allowing for overnight charging and readiness for daily commutes.
Interior Comfort and Technology
The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric offers a modern, spacious cabin featuring dual 12.3-inch displays: a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure seamless smartphone integration. Available ambient interior lighting enhances the atmosphere, while optional heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel provide added comfort, especially appreciated during Calgary's colder months.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric emphasizes safety with a suite of standard driver-assistance features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
