That spread makes it easy to find a Hyundai EV that suits your life, as long as you know which questions to ask.
This guide walks through each model’s range, battery, power, space and charging speed. By the end, you will know which 2027 Hyundai EV lines up with the way you drive, how many people you carry and how often you take longer trips.

KONA Electric: The Efficient Everyday Choice
The 2027 KONA Electric is the most compact Hyundai EV and the most efficient. Its 64.8 kWh battery feeds a front motor rated at 150 kW (201 hp) and 188 lb-ft of torque, for a rated range of 420 km. Combined efficiency is rated at 2.0 Le/100 km.
At 4,355 mm long with a 5.35 m turning radius, the KONA Electric is easy to park and manoeuvre. It still offers 723 L of cargo space behind the rear seats and 1,803 L with them folded. Every trim includes a heat pump, Highway Driving Assist and a 31.2 cm touchscreen with navigation. Trims run from Preferred to Preferred with Trend Package and Preferred with Ultimate Package.
IONIQ 5: Room, Range and Fast Charging
The 2027 IONIQ 5 steps up in size and power. Dual motors deliver 239 kW (320 hp) and 446 lb-ft of torque through all-wheel drive, with 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. Its 84 kWh battery is rated for 463 km of range.
The IONIQ 5’s long 3,000 mm wheelbase creates a roomy cabin, with 1,002 mm of rear legroom. Cargo space measures 745 L behind the rear seats and 1,655 L with them folded, plus a 24 L front trunk. On a 350 kW charger, the battery goes from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes. The charge port uses the NACS standard, with CCS adapters.

The 2027 IONIQ 5 N is Hyundai’s high-performance EV. Its dual motors make 448 kW (601 hp) and 545 lb-ft of torque, rising to 478 kW (641 hp) and 568 lb-ft with N Grin Boost. That is enough for 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, or 3.4 seconds with N Grin Boost engaged.
