Hyundai has recently showcased the 2024 Kona Electric at the NY Auto Show, presenting a compelling upgrade over its predecessor. The new model boasts improved range, quicker charging capabilities, and a striking design overhaul, resembling the sleek aesthetic of Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 and 6 dedicated EVs.
With a starting price under $33,000, the 2024 Kona Electric aims to be one of the most affordable electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States. The vehicle comes in three trims: SE, SEL, and Limited. The base SE model offers a 48.6 kWh battery, providing up to 200 miles of range, while the SEL and Limited trims feature a 64.8 kWh battery, delivering up to 261 miles of range.
Hyundai’s latest offering also includes significant interior enhancements, with nearly 6 inches of additional length and 3 inches of extra legroom in the second row. The flat floor design enhances head and shoulder space, ensuring a comfortable ride for passengers.
The 2024 Kona Electric comes equipped with Hyundai’s next-gen dual 12.3-inch infotainment system, offering a faster and more intelligent user interface. It also features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard, enhancing connectivity and convenience for drivers.
To make the 2024 Kona Electric even more appealing, Hyundai is offering attractive leasing deals. The base SE model can be leased for as low as $169 per month for 24 months, with $1,999 due at signing. The deal includes a $7,500 EV Lease Bonus, resulting in a net capitalized cost of $25,370.
For those interested in the higher-range SEL trim, leasing is available for as little as $199 per month, also for 24 months, with $1,579 due at signing. The net capitalized cost with the EV credit is $29,419.
Hyundai’s website indicates that these offers are available for a limited time, with the deal set to end on April 30, 2024. This compelling package positions the 2024 Kona Electric as a strong contender in the affordable EV market, appealing to consumers looking for a stylish, efficient, and budget-friendly electric vehicle.
