Brimming with loads of connectivity features and smart safety functionality, new car buyers are spoilt for choice across the range, with a variant pitched at the needs of just about every type of driver on the road. Hyundai have done wonders to draw maximum space and practicality out of the Kona's interior, while its bespoke Australian-tuned chassis has been lauded by experts for its versatility and dynamism, a key reason why it won the 2020 Drive Small SUV of the Year award. Fancy something else? Why not look at the Hyundai Venue or the Hyundai Tuscon instead, they're both part of a growing SUV line-up from the Korean manufacturer.

• Why is the Hyundai Kona EV so expensive?

  Unlike traditional petrol and diesel-powered cars, electric vehicles have not yet reached a point where the economies of scale provide auto-makers with the scope to price their vehicles more aggressively. The Hyundai Kona EV is one such example, with the car featuring a wide array of sophisticated and cutting-edge technology including an expensive lithium-ion battery that powers its range capabilities. As the first fully-electric small SUV in the local car market, it is anticipated that Hyundai will be able to reduce the price of the Kona EV over time as production levels increase to meet incoming demand, and as the supply of lithium batteries becomes more affordable for the manufacturer.

It is the first fully-electric small SUV on sale in Australia, making it an attractive proposition for those looking to make the switch to a sustainable future. Boasting instant acceleration and more than 400km driving range, you'll never be short of ability with the Kona, but of course, you'll benefit from the thrill of the EV segment. Packed with a host of safety features, a vibrant exterior and space-optimised interior, the Hyundai Kona has established a formidable offer in the EV category courtesy of its first-mover advantage.
