2024 Hyundai Kona Electric N-Line priced

UPDATED 03/06/2024 2:05pm: Hyundai Australia has released full specification details of the new Kona Electric N-Line range, which has already started arriving in local showrooms.

As detailed below, the Kona Electric N-Line and N-Line Premium will be priced from $62,000 and $71,000 plus on-road costs respectively – making them $4000 and $3000 pricier than their donor variants – with the extra cash specifically nabbing buyers:

• An N-Line body kit
• Black exterior trim
• Unique 19-inch alloys
• Black leather and Alcantara upholstery
• Black headliner
• Sports pedals
• Perforated leather steering wheel
• Red interior piping
• Sport scuff plates

The standard N-Line also scores a couple of extra features already offered on the Premium and, by default, the N-Line Premium:

• LED projector headlights
• Full-width front lighting signature
• LED indicators

Both variants will be offered in the familiar Kona N-Line paint colours, comprising Atlas White, Neoteric Yellow, Cyber Grey ($595), Abyss Black ($595), Soultronic Orange ($595) and Ultimate Red ($595).

The new N-Line grades headline the MY25 Kona Electric portfolio, prices for which remains unchanged despite the addition of leather-appointed armrests to the base Kona Electric and updated intelligent speed limit assist system.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE PUBLISHED 30/05/2024 2:00pm: Pricing for the upcoming 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric N-Line has been published ahead of the sports-themed EV’s mid-year arrival, when two versions will be offered Down Under.

Starting from $62,000 and $71,000 plus on-road costs respectively, the N-Line and N-Line Premium are based on the existing Kona Electric Extended Range (from $58,000) and Kona Electric Premium (from $68,000), which means they’ll both pack the gruntier 150kW/255Nm powertrain to match their sportier persona.

The prices equate to premiums of $4000 and $3000 respectively, in exchange for which customers will score a unique exterior treatment, exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, leather and suede N-branded seats with power adjustment for the driver, sports pedals, a black/red interior colourway and an N-Line steering wheel.

Some of these items are already included on the Premium, hence the lower grade’s bigger price premium over its standard counterpart.

The catch to all these upgrades is the reduced driving range. Due primarily to its bigger 19-inch wheels (up from 17s), the Kona Electric N-Line’s WLTP figure is just 444km compared to the standard version’s 505km, meaning it’s no better off than the loaded Premium and N-Line Premium with the same range.

No changes have been made to any of the Kona Electric’s mechanical components as part of its N-Line makeover, nor have there been any chassis tweaks beyond the new 19-inch hoops, given all electrified Konas feature a multi-link rear-end – unlike the 2.0L versions that ride on torsion beam rear suspension.

A formal N-Line announcement – including local pricing, release timing and full specification details – is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

No changes will be made to the pricing of the three pre-existing Kona Electric variants, which range from $54,000 to $68,000.

How much does the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric cost?
Kona Electric – $54,000
Extended Range – $58,000
N-Line – $62,000
Premium – $68,000
N-Line Premium – $71,000
* Prices exclude on-road costs
