The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric stands out in the increasingly competitive compact EV segment. This mini-SUV combines modern, eye-catching styling with practical functionality and an accommodating interior that belies its affordable price point. With an improved EPA-estimated range compared to its predecessor and comfortable ride quality, the Kona Electric makes everyday driving enjoyable and efficient. While it may not match the acceleration of pricier electric options, its power delivery is more than adequate for typical driving scenarios. Leasing the latest Hyundai Kona Electric unlocks a compelling entry point into electric mobility for budget-conscious shoppers.
Powertrain and Performance
The 2025 Kona Electric offers two front-wheel drive powertrain options: a standard 133-horsepower motor and an enhanced 201-horsepower variant delivering 188 lb-ft of torque. The more potent version achieves 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds. Its refined suspension prioritizes comfort over sportiness, with poised handling and a tranquil cabin. The single-speed transmission ensures smooth power delivery, making the Kona Electric an ideal commuter that combines adequate performance with exceptional ride refinement and noise isolation.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The 2025 Kona Electric features dual battery configurations to suit different needs. Entry-level models employ a 48.6-kWh battery pack with approximately 200 miles of driving range. For extended travel capability, a larger 64.8-kWh battery significantly increases the range to about 260 miles on a full charge. When connected to DC fast-charging infrastructure, Hyundai states that Kona Electric can replenish its battery with 10-80% capacity in just 43 minutes.
Fuel Economy
According to the EPA, the Standard Range model achieves an EPA-estimated 131 MPGe city and 105 MPGe highway—the variant with 17-inch wheels rates slightly lower at 129 MPGe and 103 MPGe, respectively. Models equipped with 19-inch wheels see efficiency drop to 113 MPGe and 93 MPGe, respectively.
Interior and Tech
Typical of Hyundai models, the 2025 Kona Electric’s cabin showcases remarkable refinement with its floating horizontal center console design, which creates an airy, spacious feel. Premium ambiance comes via customizable mood lighting throughout the refreshed cockpit. Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the seamless dual 12.3-inch display setup for driver information and infotainment. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi hotspot come standard.
