The Hyundai Kona is one of the newest additions to the MotorWorld Hyundai family, but it's risen in popularity quite quickly. Now there are multiple versions of it available, including the high-performance Hyundai Kona N and the green Hyundai Kona Electric. Which is right for you?
Powertrain Options
The biggest difference between these two models is how they get their power. The 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric is, as its name implies, an electric model.
It's powered by electric motors that can produce 201 horsepower. This crossover won't use a single ounce of gasoline, but it does have a driving range. After around 258 miles of travel, you need to stop and recharge.
The 2023 Hyundai Kona N is focused more on performance than efficiency. It comes equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, giving it an output of 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. If you're looking for driving thrills, this Hyundai crossover will deliver.
Trim Levels
If you like to choose between different trim levels and options, you should know that the Hyundai Kona N is only offered in one variant. It's essentially a trim level of the 2023 Hyundai Kona itself, so you don't get to choose from different versions of this turbocharged crossover. The Hyundai Kona Electric is available in three different trim levels, ranging from the SE to the Limited.
Options and Equipment
Both of these vehicles offer plenty of in-car tech and features, but the Hyundai Kona N sets itself apart with some unique equipment. Unsurprisingly, this crossover is sportier, with special N Sport bucket seats, paddle shifters, and alloy wheels surrounded by performance tires. Which tech can be found in the Hyundai Kona Electric varies based on which trim you choose.
Either of these models is a great choice if you're looking for a new crossover. If you read this and still can't decide which model is best for you, then visit our Hyundai dealership in Scranton, PA and see both models for yourself. We'll help you build a Hyundai Kona that you'll love.
