The last Kona Electric was a bit of an EV pioneer. Its successor has taken a big step forward, though the Premium isn't necessarily the pick.

Contributor
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
