2024 Hyundai Kona Electric N Line revealed, confirmed for Australia

The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric N Line has been confirmed for Australia.

Hyundai Australia has announced the sportier-looking Kona Electric will arrive here later this year. It is currently unclear if the N Line will be offered as an option pack, like the petrol and hybrid, or as a separate variant.

Compared to the standard Kona Electric, the N Line adds unique 19-inch alloy wheels, different bumpers, side skirts, N Line badging, black side mirrors, and an optional two-tone black roof.

Inside, it features red details on the dashboard and steering wheel, part-Alcantara sports seats with red contrast stitching, an N Line badge on the front headrests, black headlining, and metal pedals.

While it is the first Hyundai electric vehicle to receive the N Line treatment, the Korean brand has already unveiled its first electric performance car under its ‘N’ sub-brand – the Ioniq 5 N.

In the United Kingdom, the Kona Electric N Line will be offered in two variants – N Line and N Line S – both featuring the range-topping 64.8kWh battery and 160kW/255Nm front-mounted electric motor, which is downrated to 150kW/250Nm for Australia.

Hyundai has not detailed if the N Line’s revised styling will impact the driving range of the extended-range variant, which is listed at 444 kilometres for variants with 19-inch wheels under the WLTP test cycle.

The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric N Line will commence production for Europe in February ahead of its Australian launch later this year.

The standard 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric is arriving now in Australia, priced from $54,000 before on-road costs.

A rival to the BYD Atto 3, MG ZS EV, Kia Niro EV and Peugeot E-2008, the Kona Electric is available in two grades – Electric and Electric Premium – with the choice of a 99kW/250Nm motor matched to a 48.6kWh battery, or the extended-range 160kW/255Nm motor and 64.8kWh battery.
