It offers 99 cubic feet of passenger space and can accommodate up to five adults.

Buyers can pick between black, sage green, or gray interior themes, depending on trim. The SE and SEL trims have cloth upholstered seats. Meanwhile, choosing the Limited trim means the seats are upholstered in Hyundai’s premium H-Tex® leatherette material.
The SEL and Limited trims get heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver seat. The Limited trim also adds ventilation for the front seats and a heated steering wheel. At the rear, all trims have a rear-center armrest with integrated cup holders.
The 2024 Kona Electric’s 25 cubic foot trunk offers six cubic feet more than the 2023 model. Furthermore, the rear seat offers a 60-40 split-fold function on all trims. Hence, this electric crossover can provide up to 63 cubic feet of cargo space.
