Kona Electric 48 kWh (MY24-25)

The Hyundai Kona Electric 48 kWh (MY24-25) is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2023 to 2025, when it cost £34,995 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.8 seconds, slower than 80% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 183 miles (295 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 18% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 219th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (164 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 48.4 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 50 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 179 miles (288 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £13,300–£14,700 and a 2025 one at £19,900–£22,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 173 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
