00:00 Intro 00:50 Pricing and specs 02:52 Design 04:13 Practicality 06:54 Drivetrain 07:17 Energy consumption 09:23 Driving 13:07 Safety 14:08 Ownership 14:39 Verdict We take a look at Hyundai's updated Kona Electric for the 2021 model year. Back when I first reviewed it, I said that this could possibly be the best electric car in Australia, but will that still ring true now that it has been updated in a rapidly changing electric landscape? We take a close look at the range - which most closely rivals the Kia Niro EV, Nissan Leaf e+, Tesla Model 3 Standard Range, and MG ZS EV to find out. We'll look at eight key factors including Pricing - From $62,000 does the entry-level Elite make sense against rivals, or should you splurge to the $66,000 Highlander? How does its official 480km range stack up? Design - Does the Kona electric look better or worse this time around? What should buyers be looking for on the outside and in the cabin Practicality - Is the Kona EV any more or less practical than the combustion version? How does it compare to the segment, and will it fit your standard array of adults and every-day objects? Drivetrain - what powers the Kona EV? Does it compare well to combustion cars or electric rivals? Energy consumption - Did I find any surprises when it came to the Kona's rate of battery consumption - and what is it like to charge up? Driving - How does it feel behind the wheel - will the Kona make first time adopters love or hate an electric motor? Safety - Does the Kona come fully loaded? Has Hyundai added anything new this time around? We take a look. Ownership - There's less moving parts, so it should be cheap to run, right? And ultimately - Verdict: Is the Kona still one of the best electric cars on sale in Australia?
