2021 Hyundai Kona Electric vs. 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV: Electric Versatility

Electric cars are becoming more accessible with great prices and incentives. However, not all of them offer comfort, amenities and space for cargo. The 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric has all these characteristics in a stylish, powerful package that can travel up to 415 km before stopping for a quick charge.

Here we compare the 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric to the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV

More torque and more handling capabilities in the 2021 Hyundai Kona

Driving dynamics are important, even in an electric car. The Kona may be a small SUV, but it provides a much better driving dynamics and steering than the Bolt EV, making it a more fun to drive vehicle whatever the destination.

Also, the Kona’s electric motor is much more advanced than the Bolt EV’s unit. Both provide similar amount of horsepower, but the Kona dishes out 290 lb-ft of torque compared to 266 lb-ft of torque with the Bolt. This contributes to the already superior driving dynamics by providing great accelerations from a standstill in the city, but also useful pickups when passing other motorists on the highway.

More comfort, safety, style and space in the 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric

The Kona provides ample space for five passengers and has available heated and ventilated seats for the front passengers. The Bolt EV’s seating is notorious for its hard seat surfaces that can become a serious issue when travelling on long distances. The Hyundai Kona Electric also provides more cargo space behind the rear seats. When full of passengers, the Kona delivers 544 litres of space. The Bolt EV only delivers 479 litres in the same configuration.

The Hyundai Kona Electric is more stylish than the Bolt EV. The unique closed-off front grille, functional air curtains around the front bumper to help to reduce turbulence around the front wheels, bold body cladding that runs along the side profile and the available two-tone colour options make it a head turner when compared to the Bolt EV’s outdated looks.

Finally, the 2021 Kona Electric is built on Hyundai’s proprietary SUPERSTRUCTURE chassis which is assembled using ultra-strength steel which is stiffer and stronger than conventional steel. This will protect the driver and passengers more than any other vehicle will, including the Chevrolet Bolt EV.
