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
