This isn’t the first time KBB has handed a Best Buy award to the Kona Electric, mainly because it continues to be better than other mass-market EVs on the market in terms of offering a peppy, car-like driving experience over a long range.

What KBB liked:

- Very low maintenance costs
- Great battery range
- Spirited acceleration and responsive braking
- Comfortable ride
- Roomy interior for such a small vehicle
- Kicks butt in the city
- Perfectly acceptable on the highway
- Modern cabin
- Dual-level cargo floor
- Regenerative braking
- Honest offering of standard features
