DriveSize footprint score
DriveSize footprint score compares this car's footprint with the average footprint for the same class.
A score near 100% means it is close to class average size. Lower scores mean it sits further from that average, either smaller or larger.

Fast facts
Fast facts
Its turning circle is 6% tighter than average
The Kona Electric needs around 0.6m less room to turn than the crossover norm, which is useful when turning on a narrow street or navigating a confined car park.
The mirrors extend beyond the class norm
Although its body is slightly narrower than average, the Kona Electric measures about 4cm wider across its mirrors, making them the point to watch in narrow gaps.
Five regional spaces allow comfortable access
It fits within all eight standard parking spaces used by DriveSize, with enough surrounding room to get in and out comfortably in five of them.
Everyday VDA boot space is 5% above average
With all five seats available, its 466-litre published VDA capacity is around 21 litres more than the crossover norm, providing a little extra space for daily bags or shopping.

Cargo space & efficiency
2024 Hyundai Kona Electric cargo capacity and space efficiency
Using the VDA standard, the Kona Electric offers 466 litres of cargo capacity with all five seats in use, around 21 litres, or 5%, more than the crossover average. Maximum VDA capacity is 1,300 litres, approximately 208 litres, or 14%, below average. Under the SAE standard, its seats-up figure is 722 litres, around 17 litres, or 2%, below the class norm. Maximum SAE capacity is 1,804 litres, roughly 67 litres, or 4%, below average. Allowing for both seats-up and maximum cargo capacity, it provides about 95 litres per square metre under VDA, roughly 4% below average, and 138 litres per square metre under SAE, around 6% above average. Combined across both standards, its cargo efficiency is about 1% above the crossover norm.

Parking
Will the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric fit in a standard parking space?
All eight standard regional parking spaces used by DriveSize can fit the Kona Electric, and five leave a comfortable amount of room around it. Its shorter-than-average length creates useful front-to-back leeway, though its mirrors extend slightly beyond the crossover norm. The tighter results are the United Kingdom, European Union and Australia, where door-opening room may be limited. The spaces used for China, India, Japan, USA/Canada and the Middle East provide comfortable access.
DriveSize parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width excluding mirrors where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 46 cm per side (excluding mirrors), and length clearance is 57 cm at each end.

Usability
2024 Hyundai Kona Electric usability & manoeuvrability
At 10.6m, the Kona Electric's turning circle is around 0.6m, or 6%, tighter than the crossover average. Paired with a 265.9cm wheelbase that is roughly 7cm shorter than usual, this should make direction changes and low-speed manoeuvres relatively easy for the class. At 1,620kg, it weighs only around 12kg less than average, so its kerb weight is broadly typical. Its 15cm ground clearance is approximately 3.1cm, or 17%, lower than the crossover norm, giving it less margin above tall speed humps or over abrupt ramps.

DriveSize overview: 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric
The Hyundai Kona Electric could suit drivers who want an electric crossover that takes up less ground space than average and is easy to turn in confined areas. It is around 17cm shorter than the class norm, has a 5% smaller footprint and fits all eight regional parking spaces used by DriveSize.
Its everyday VDA boot is slightly above average, but maximum cargo capacity is below the crossover norm under both VDA and SAE. The mirrors are also a little wider than average and ground clearance is 17% lower, so those are worth considering if narrow access points or steep ramps are part of daily driving.
Its combustion-powered counterpart, the 2023 Hyundai Kona, is almost identical in size and published cargo capacity.
