2025 Hyundai Kona Electric SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric is a small EV crossover offered in SE, SEL, N Line and Limited trim levels. The SE trim is motivated by a 133-horsepower electric motor that drives the front wheels. It draws power from a 48.6-kWh battery pack that's enough for an EPA-estimated 200 miles of range. SEL, N Line and Limited trims come with a 201-hp electric motor and 64.8-kWh battery pack that delivers an EPA-estimated 261 miles of range. Standard feature highlights include:

SE
Starts you off with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital instrument panel display
  • 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker audio system

The Kona Electric also comes with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Kona Electric back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Kona Electric and the car in front and works down to a stop)

SEL
Builds on the base SE with:

  • Roof rails
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats

N Line
Adds sporty exterior elements and more features:

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Sportier exterior styling
  • Sunroof
  • Synthetic leather and suede upholstery
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Eight-speaker Bose sound system
  • Digital key capability (allows you to use your smartphone as a key to enter and drive the vehicle)

Limited
Tops the range with all of the above features, plus:

  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Upgraded soft-touch interior panels
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel

The Limited also adds these driver assist features:

  • Front, rear and side parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible around the vehicle when parking)
  • Surround-view monitor (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot monitor (displays a camera view of blind spot when turn signal is engaged)
  • Reverse automatic braking

Which Kona Electric trim does Edmunds recommend?

We'd go with the SEL trim since it's the cheapest way to get the more powerful and longer-range electric drivetrain. Going that route also gets you upscale features like heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat and a leather steering wheel.
