Used 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric for Sale near Chicago, IL

The 2023 Hyundai Kona EV is a small, nimble crossover with an all-electric powertrain and a refined interior. The Kona EV received a significant exterior facelift and some mild interior updates for 2022. It provides 45.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded and 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats in use. That’s not much, even among subcompact SUVs, but the Kona EV focuses on comfort and convenience for front-seat passengers. For 2023, Hyundai has revised the trim lineup, adding the entry-level SE. It joins the SEL and Limited trims. The SE comes with a fully digital instrument panel, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three USB ports (two front, one rear), automatic climate control, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and remote keyless entry. Moving to the SEL trim adds a power sunroof, a battery warmer system, wireless device charging, Hyundai Digital Key smartphone app, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, LED interior lights, and over-the-air (OTA) system software updates. The SEL also upgrades the infotainment system to a 10.25-inch touchscreen, but it loses wireless capability for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The range-topping Limited trim adds LED headlights, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-speaker Harmon Kardon premium stereo system, and leather-trimmed seats. The Hyundai Kona EV comes equipped with a 64-kWh lithium-ion battery pack routing power to a single electric motor at the front wheels. It makes 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque, and the vehicle can travel up to 258 miles when the battery is fully charged. The Kona EV has a drive-mode selector with Sport, Eco, and Comfort drive modes. Each mode has unique tuning for the steering feel, throttle response, and regenerative braking settings. You can also opt for one-pedal driving, which will fully engage regenerative braking. The Kona EV features EV fast-charging capability, allowing it to go from 10% to 80% charge in just 47 minutes (or 64 minutes with a 50-kw Level 3 charger). Using a Level 2 charger, the Kona EV can be fully charged in about nine to ten hours. Hyundai provides a long list of standard driver-assistance features, including forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. It also comes standard with Safe Exit Assist, Rear Occupant Alert, and driver-attention warning. The 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric starts at $33,550 for the base SE trim. The SEL starts at $37,300, and the range-topping Limited starts at $41,550. The Kona Electric’s battery pack comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
