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.

The EQB 350 loses the nameplate's key selling point – the option of a third row. Does its dual-motor drivetrain make up for it?
