Jade Credentino drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- All the bells and whistles over the rest of the Tonale range
- Perfect for city driving without committing to EV power
- One of the only PHEV powertrains within its segment
Misses
- $19,600 more than Tonale Hybrid
- Not as punchy as specs suggest
- Fuel economy balloons past EV range

Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Spacious, polished interior
- Smoother, more refined drive
- Space-saver spare rare in this segment
Misses
- Expensive relative to base Kona Electric...
- ...and crosses into Ioniq 5 price territory
- 100kW DC fast-charging isn't great
