A compact electric SUV made for everyday ease
Drive a Kona EV
The Kona EV is the quiet, fully electric pick among Hyundai rental options on Turo. This single-motor, front-wheel-drive subcompact SUV carries an EPA-estimated 200 miles of range. That makes a Kona EV SUV rental a natural fit for commutes, errands, and city trips — and you skip the gas station entirely.
On Turo, you book your Kona EV from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Choose your dates, pick the listing you like, and you're ready to roll.
Kona EV specs
Range
200 miles
Horsepower
133 hp
Torque
188 lb-ft
Battery
48.6 kWh
Quiet, instant electric torque
The Kona EV delivers all 188 lb-ft of torque the moment you press the pedal, so it pulls away from stoplights smoothly and quietly. Its single front motor makes 133 hp — a setup tuned for relaxed, comfortable driving around town and through the suburbs.
Room to stretch and stow
The Kona EV seats five, with room to spare in the back. Rear passengers have 36.4 inches of legroom, so friends can settle in for the drive to dinner or the airport.
Cargo space flexes with your plans. Behind the rear seats, you'll find 26 cubic feet for suitcases, strollers, or a week of groceries. Fold those seats down and the space grows to 64 cubic feet — enough for bulky gear or a flat-pack bookshelf. It's a practical setup for a weekend away or a move between apartments.
A cleaner, smarter cockpit
The Kona EV moves the gear selector to the steering column, which opens up the center console. That frees space for your phone, a bag, or the snacks you grabbed for the drive, and it keeps the cabin feeling uncluttered.
Comfort tech comes standard. Dual-zone climate control lets you and your passenger each set your own temperature, and navigation-based cruise control is built in for longer stretches. Across the Kona lineup, a 12.3-inch touchscreen runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your maps, music, and messages show up without a cable. Connect once, and your playlist is ready before you leave the curb.
Stand out with a Kona EV
The Kona EV is a well-equipped electric commuter that suits city stays, short getaways, and guests trying an EV for the first time. It's small enough to slip into tight urban spots and comfortable enough for a weekend escape, with standard tech that makes every drive feel easy. If you're comparing options, browse compact SUV rentals on Turo to see how the Kona EV stacks up.
Top Kona EV features
City-sized footprint
Three Kona EV features stand out: a city-sized footprint, efficiency that stretches every charge, and one focused trim.
At 171.3 inches long, the Kona EV fits where bigger SUVs struggle. You can slide into a parking garage spot, squeeze onto a tight street, or tuck into a narrow driveway with ease.
Front-wheel drive keeps the setup simple and predictable for everyday driving. It's a good match for dense neighborhoods, busy downtown streets, and hotels with snug parking. You still get an SUV's upright seating and cargo flexibility — just in a footprint that makes city parking far less stressful. When you're juggling a packed itinerary, a car that's easy to park saves you time at every stop.
Efficiency that stretches every charge
The Kona EV earns an EPA-rated 118 MPGe combined. MPGe measures how far an EV travels on the energy equivalent of one gallon of gas. A higher number means you go farther on every charge.
For you, that efficiency means fewer charging stops and more time doing what you came to do. Short daily drives — a commute, a coffee run, or a loop through town — add up slowly against the 200-mile range estimate. On longer days, efficient driving helps you stretch every mile. Pair that efficiency with charging at your lodging overnight, and you can start most mornings ready to go.
One focused trim
The Kona EV skipped the 2026 model year in the US and returns for 2027 in a single SE trim. That means less guesswork when you book — you know what you're getting before you pick it up.
The SE comes with the features covered above, including dual-zone climate control and navigation-based cruise control. It also adds a small front trunk, a tidy spot to stash charging cables away from your luggage. With one trim to know, you can spend less time comparing listings and more time planning the trip itself.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Kona EV
Get to know your Kona EV
The Kona EV is simple to drive, and a few habits make your trip even smoother. Learn the controls, plan charging around the range, and document the battery level at pickup and return.
There's no physical shifter in the Kona EV — just a column-mounted selector. When you park, press P, then power the car off. It runs silently, so it's easy to walk away and leave it on by mistake.
If you want more space or range, a Hyundai Ioniq 5 rental is another electric option to consider on Turo.
Kona EV driving tips
A little planning keeps your Kona EV trip on track. Before you head out:
Plan charging stops around the 200-mile range estimate, since real-world range varies.
Look for lodging with chargers so you can top up overnight.
Photograph the battery gauge at pickup and again at return.
Return the car at the same charge level it had when you picked it up.
How much does it cost to rent a Kona EV?
Kona EV prices vary by location, dates, and listing. Trip-duration discounts apply to three-day, weekly, and monthly trips, so longer bookings can lower your daily cost. If you need a car for a month or more, explore long-term car rental on Turo.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
