Vehicle report
2023 HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC
This model year
What the record shows
The 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric is a small two-wheel-drive SUV, and the 5th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2019 to 2026.
The EPA rated one configuration: front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (A1) and running on electricity.
Combined fuel economy is 120 mpg.
The federal record holds 5 owner complaints and 29 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
