Best electric vehicle: Hyundai Kona Electric
Hyundai’s Kona subcompact crossover certainly deserved serious consideration in that segment, but I finally went with the new Mazda CX-30 in a photo finish.
But wouldn’t you know it, the Kona is also available as an all-electric model, and that version happens to be the most dynamic of the three Kona versions available on the market, despite the absence of all-wheel drive.
Battery range is another consideration when evaluating value from an EV, and the Kona offers quite a lot of it: 415 km. As for the overall quality of the Kona EV, it’s another feather in Hyundai’s cap.

Specifications for the 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric
"... accelerations are impressive every time you apply pressure to the right pedal. The Kona Electric isn’t even the quickest EV on the market, but no matter, driving pleasure is part of the deal in daily driving. Steering is on the light side, but it doesn’t impinge on what the car is meant to do."
