If you’re on the search for Hyundai cars for sale, Keyes Hyundai makes it our mission to match drivers with the perfect vehicle for all their lifestyle needs. One popular favorite offers two great variations: the gas-powered Hyundai Kona and the Hyundai Kona Electric. The guide that follows will explain their similarities and some differences that can make your choice a little easier.
Power and Performance
The Hyundai Kona offers two engine options. The lower trims have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the Hyundai Kona N Line and Hyundai Kona Limited pack a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque output. In the Hyundai Kona Electric, you’ll find an electric motor and battery configuration that produces up to 201 horsepower and 291 lb-ft of torque.
Eco-Friendly Features
The Hyundai Kona offers impressive mileage, but the Hyundai Kona Electric is your vehicle if you transition to alternative energy driving. It has an all-electric range of 258 miles on a single charge and can charge from 10% to 80% in just 47 minutes with Level 3 Quick Charging technology.
Cargo Capability
Both vehicles have seating for five passengers and 45.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats, and 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row.
Price
The Hyundai Kona has a starting MSRP of $21,990. While the Hyundai Kona Electric does have a higher initial cost, with a starting MSRP of $34,000, it’s essential to factor in incentives and savings on fuel and maintenance into the total cost of ownership (TCO).
