The short version

The 2025 Hyundai Kona starts at $32,875, goes 261 miles on a charge, sips electricity at 116 MPGe. Here's what the EPA numbers actually mean.

Pricing

Starts at $32,875 before destination, across 3 EPA-rated trims. We verify every price by hand against manufacturer and dealer sources — if we can't confirm a number, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Range and efficiency

EPA-tested at 261 miles of range and 116 MPGe combined. That's the lab number every car takes, so it's the fairest comparison there is. In the real world, knock off 10–20% for highway speed and cold weather. Cheaper trims with smaller wheels actually go farther — the lineup stretches from 200 to 261 miles.

Charging and fuel cost

At the U.S. average of $0.17 per kWh, 12,000 miles a year costs about $594 in electricity — roughly $49 a month. That's the whole fuel story; there are no oil changes either. Plug in your own rates in the fuel cost calculator.

Fast charging

On a DC fast charger it peaks at 100 kW (Hyundai spec sheet: onboard DC fast charger 100 kW max) — enough to add serious miles in the time it takes to grab coffee. Figures are manufacturer ratings for the best trim; real-world peaks vary with battery temperature and state of charge.
