2025 is a carry-over mannequin 12 months for the Hyundai Kona Electrical. The bottom SE model is supplied with a 48.6-kilowatt-hour battery and a 99-kilowatt electrical motor, whereas the SEL, Restricted and the brand new N Line trims are outfitted with a 64.8-kWh battery and a 150-kW electrical motor.

We guess the primary cause is the bigger 19-inch wheels (235/45R19). The common SE, SEL and Restricted trims have 17-inch wheels (215/60R17). We do not see another important variations.
