2025 Hyundai Kona Electric review
The last Kona Electric was a bit of an EV pioneer. The new one has taken a big step forward, although the Premium isn't necessarily the pick.

While all the hype is about the electric iX2, it's the entry petrol grade that should probably get the most attention in the second-gen range.
