Kona electric is Hyundai’s first battery-powered SUV. Prices start at $60,740 for the Elite. Highlander, which we’re testing here, is $65,290.
The 2.0-litre petrol-powered Kona Elite starts at $31,600. Highlander is $38,000.
So you’re paying close to twice the price to go EV.
Note that these prices are for the 2020 model; the 2021 update, due as we went to press, will be slightly more expensive.
