Australia's #7 best-selling vehicle in 2024. 22,769 sold — up 31%. Available as standard 2.0L petrol, Hybrid, or full Electric with up to 514km range. BuyFleet negotiates fleet pricing across the national Hyundai network.
Get the Best Price on a KonaFew vehicles in the Australian market have experienced the kind of explosive growth that the Hyundai Kona delivered in 2024. With 22,769 registrations — a 31% year-on-year increase — the Kona rocketed to #7 on the national sales chart. It's a testament to how well Hyundai has executed the second-generation model, which launched in Australia with an expanded drivetrain lineup that includes one of the most capable compact electric SUVs on the market.
The Kona's broad appeal comes from its flexibility. The standard 2.0-litre petrol variant delivers accessible, no-compromise entry-level pricing. The Hybrid uses a 1.6-litre GDI engine paired with an electric motor and small battery to achieve around 5.5L/100km without ever needing to be plugged in — a compelling choice for buyers who want lower running costs without changing their habits. And the Kona Electric takes things to an entirely different level, with a 64.8 kWh battery delivering up to 514 km of range on the WLTP cycle.
That 514 km figure is remarkable for a compact SUV. It eliminates any remaining range anxiety for the vast majority of Australian journeys, including interstate drives from Sydney to Canberra, Melbourne to Ballarat, or Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast — all comfortably within a single charge. For city-based buyers, the smaller 48.6 kWh battery's 377 km range will be more than sufficient and comes at a lower entry price.
Inside, the Kona impresses with an available dual 12.3-inch curved screen setup, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a comprehensive safety suite including highway driving assist, and premium touches like a panoramic sunroof and heated/ventilated seats on higher variants. The exterior design is bold and distinctive — the Kona commands attention on the road in a segment where many competitors play it safe visually.

Standard petrol, self-charging Hybrid, or fully Electric — the Kona offers a drivetrain for every lifestyle.
The 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol Kona is the accessible, no-fuss entry point. It includes a large infotainment screen, full ADAS suite, and Hyundai's clean, practical interior — all the Kona's strengths without the electrified premium.
The Kona Hybrid uses a 1.6-litre GDI engine with an electric motor and regenerative braking to achieve approximately 5.5L/100km without ever needing to plug in. Ideal for high-km drivers who want efficiency without change.
The entry-level Kona Electric uses a 48.6 kWh battery delivering approximately 377 km of range. For city-focused buyers or those with short to medium commutes, this provides excellent day-to-day electric running with a lower entry price.
The long-range Kona Electric with 64.8 kWh battery delivers up to 514 km of WLTP range — making it one of the most capable compact electric SUVs available in Australia. Up to 100 kW DC fast charging enables 10–80% in approximately 41 minutes.
Three key reasons the Hyundai Kona surged 31% in 2024 and shows no signs of slowing.
The Kona is the rare compact SUV that genuinely covers every buyer: the petrol for accessibility, the Hybrid for effortless efficiency, and the Electric for those ready to make the switch. Whichever you choose, you get the same bold design and premium interior.
The 64.8 kWh Kona Electric's 514 km WLTP range competes with vehicles costing significantly more. For Australians wary of range anxiety, the long-range Kona Electric resolves that concern completely — you'll rarely charge to 100% before needing to.
The Kona comes with a 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and the reassurance of Hyundai's national service network. Electric variants include an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty. Capped-price servicing is available for cost certainty over the life of the vehicle.
The Kona Electric qualifies for the Federal Government's FBT exemption when provided as a company vehicle or through a novated lease. BuyFleet helps fleet buyers navigate these incentives and calculate the real after-tax cost advantage for their organisation.
Design: The second-generation Kona features a bold, angular exterior that deliberately breaks from the soft lines common in the compact SUV segment. Split headlights, a distinctive front fascia, and strong body lines give the Kona a genuinely premium presence on the road. The interior is equally progressive — high-quality materials, clean lines, and an available dual-curved screen setup create a cockpit that feels genuinely aspirational for its price class.
Technology: The 12.3-inch touchscreen SYNC infotainment system on higher variants supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and a comprehensive Bluelink connected car ecosystem that allows remote charging control, climate pre-conditioning, and vehicle status checks from your smartphone. For Kona Electric owners, the ability to pre-condition the cabin temperature while still connected to the charger is a genuine quality-of-life enhancement in Australian summers.
Safety: The Kona holds a 5-star ANCAP rating. Standard safety features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning. Higher variants add Highway Driving Assist for semi-autonomous motorway driving — a feature usually found on vehicles costing significantly more in the compact SUV segment.
Charging at Home and On-Road: The Kona Electric supports AC home charging at 7.2 kW (standard variant) or 11 kW (larger battery), and DC fast charging at 72–100 kW depending on variant. Australia's growing DC fast-charging network — with NRMA, Chargefox, BP Pulse, and Tesla Supercharger (with CCS2 adaptor) all expanding rapidly — means long-distance travel is increasingly practical for Kona Electric owners.
