The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric in a Nutshell
There’s no shortage of crossover offerings over at Hyundai. You have eight of them to choose from, and it ranges from cheap and cheerful to junior luxury. Somewhere in the mix is the Hyundai Kona, slotting in between the Venue and the Tucson.
The Kona was introduced in 2017 for the 2018 model year, and the second-generation model made its world premiere in December 2022. It eventually came to America in 2023 for the 2024 model year with either gas or pure electric power.
2025 Hyundai Kona Electric Lease Deals for February
For this lease deal, we’re putting the spotlight on the EV model as we’ve covered the gas models earlier this month. Per the usual, Hyundai has lease deals for all trims of the Kona EV, although you might have noticed it’s for the 2025 model year. That’s because Hyundai USA will skip the 2026 model year to clear out current stocks.
By the way, all February lease deals are for 24 months. Starting with the SE, it’s $781 per month with $4,591 due at signing. SEL models go for $770 monthly with a due at signing price of $4,560.

It’s $0.20 extra for every mile over 12,000 per year, and the offer is valid until March 2, 2026.

Final Thoughts
The leasing rates for the Kona Electric aren’t exactly cheap right now. But, if you’re basing it on the MSRP, this subcompact EV crossover is one of the best value options in the market right now. It’s loaded with a good amount of features even in relatively inexpensive trims, and it’s generally pleasant from behind the wheel. All in all, it’s a good option for anyone dipping their toes in the EV experience.
