If you're after a compact EV that doesn't feel like a compromise, the Hyundai Kona Electric continues to deliver year after year. As one of the most accessible electric SUVs in Australia, it blends reliability, tech, and range into a familiar yet futuristic package.
For 2025, the refreshed Kona Electric brings two battery options-standard and extended range-alongside sharper aerodynamics and better cabin tech. The standard version offers around 370 km of WLTP-rated range, while the Extended Range variant pushes beyond 480 km, making it one of the most versatile small EVs in its price range.
The cabin boasts a sleek digital dashboard, wireless charging, and an intuitive infotainment system that feels modern without being overly complex. It also scores high on safety, with forward-collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control all available as standard or optional features depending on the variant.
Depending on the variant and trim, tyre fitments are:
The 17-inch option delivers better range and comfort on city roads, while the 19-inch wheels provide sharper looks and enhanced road grip at higher speeds.
Load ratings of 94–99 support 670–775 kg per tyre, sufficient for the Kona's battery-equipped chassis and passenger load.
Because the Kona Electric is a front-wheel-drive EV with instant torque delivery, the front tyres typically wear faster. Hyundai recommends tyre rotations every 10,000 km, especially if you want even wear and better long-term performance.
Choose low-noise, EV-specific tyres that feature reinforced sidewalls and energy-efficient tread compounds. These features help extend range and maintain cabin quietness on Australian roads. Look for brands like Michelin, Hankook, and Bridgestone that offer EV-focused lines.
If you're doing regular highway runs or live in warmer states like Queensland or WA, all-season tyres with good wet traction and long tread life are ideal.
Also, don't forget to keep tyres inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure-underinflation can significantly reduce range and accelerate tread wear.
The Kona Electric proves that you don't need to go big to go electric. It's affordable, practical, and when paired with the right tyres, ready for anything from CBD traffic to weekend getaways.
When paired with the right tyre setup-matched to how and where you drive-the Kona becomes even more capable. It's the perfect EV for first-time buyers or downsizers who still want efficiency without sacrificing comfort.
