Range is estimated at 258 miles, but in our range testing the Kona Electric covered 315 miles with the same powertrain before its 2022 updates. The powertrain and battery are untouched in this update, leaving the Kona Electric with a single electric motor that produces 201 horsepower and a 64-kWh battery. A larger 10.3-inch multimedia touchscreen is also available, along with a wireless charging pad, leather upholstery, and adaptive cruise control that can now work all the way down to a stop. It comes with a larger 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity and a 10.3-inch instrument cluster display. Most of the feature changes can be found on the SEL base model. The taillights and rear bumper have also been reworked, though the Kona Electric's overall shape remains the same. Up front the faux grille is gone, giving the nose a much sleeker appearance to go along with new LED daytime running light and headlight designs.
