There's a whole lot to cover in this review of the second-gen (SX2) Hyundai Kona Electric.

The new-generation model still doesn't have the newer E-GMP underpinnings, so its charging speeds and specs aren't as good as an Ioniq 5 or Ioniq 6, but it does have more EV driving range for less money in this updated model range.

And the pricing has improved -- now starting from AUD $54,000 and ranging up to $68,000, it is decent value.

But in this review I'll tell you some of the things that could be deal-breakers for this electric SUV. There are a few, in fact.
