Question 1

What should I check on a used Hyundai Kona Electric?

Accepted Answer

The battery's state of health, and on early cars whether the high-voltage battery recall was carried out at a Hyundai garage. Ask how much of the separate battery warranty is left.

Question 2

Which used Hyundai Kona has all-wheel drive?

Accepted Answer

Mainly the 1.6 T-GDi petrol with a dual-clutch gearbox, in both generations. The Hybrid and the Kona Electric drive the front wheels only.

Question 3

How does the second-generation Kona differ from the first?

Accepted Answer

From 2023 the Kona is noticeably longer, with more rear legroom and a bigger boot, and the Electric's larger battery grew to 65.4 kWh. The first generation remains the cheaper way into a Kona.

Question 4

Does a used Kona Electric pay car tax?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the canton where you register it. Zürich and Solothurn exempt electric cars, Bern halves the rate and Ticino taxes them mainly on weight, while Schwyz and St. Gallen apply their usual formula.

Question 5

Which versions does the new Hyundai Kona come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Kona comes as a 138 hp hybrid, a 180 hp 1.6 T-GDi with 4WD and the Kona Electric with 156 or 217 hp, in Origo, Amplia, Vertex and N Line trims, at list price beside the used cars.
