The 2024 Hyundai Kona looks to lead the way in electric subcompact crossovers, setting a precedent for the market. While the full lineup has yet to be unveiled, the focus here is on the electric version, showcasing a more upscale and striking design with extended fender flares. The new Kona EV, riding on the same platform but with a stretched wheelbase, offers improved rear legroom and a technologically advanced cabin with a large digital tablet – we believe the same as the gas-powered 2024 Kona we reviewed here. Though detailed specifications aren’t yet revealed, the battery capacity increased to 65.4 kWh, delivering 214 horsepower and an estimated range of around 430 km. While its fast-charging capabilities remain at 100 kW, V2L technology allows the Kona to transfer up to 3.5 kW of electricity for versatile use. More information is expected at the New York Auto Show in April 2024.

2024 Electric SUVs: What Stands Out This Model Year
2024 marks a meaningful transition year for electric SUVs, not because the segment suddenly exploded, but because many brands finally delivered the models they’ve been teasing for years. Instead of experimental first attempts, 2024’s EV SUVs lean heavily on refinement: better range management, upgraded software, improved charging curves, and interiors that feel more mainstream and less “early EV.” From three-row entries like the Kia EV9 to more performance-oriented options like the Ioniq 5 N and Polestar 4, the year brings a broader spread of electric SUV choices that cover family haulers, luxury options, and affordable compact EVs.
It’s also a year where automakers pushed harder on safety and driver-assist tech, with features like lidar integration (Volvo EX90), more advanced native Google integration (Acura ZDX), smarter torque-vectoring systems (Polestar 3), and more standardized fast-charging hardware. Even smaller EVs like the Hyundai Kona Electric and Volvo EX30 arrived with notable improvements in interior space and efficiency. For used buyers today, 2024 represents a sweet spot: modern-enough tech and range, without the price shock of brand-new EVs. Plus, a clearer picture of how these models hold up in the real world.
