One striking aspect is the absence of LED positioning lights and a roof rack on the vehicle's exterior. These features are usually found on the more expensive variants, providing a more premium look and added functionality. Besides that, The Kona Electric Style is also not equipped with heated and ventilated seats at the front, ambient lighting, as well as door spot lights which usually add comfort and interior aesthetics.
Moving on to safety and comfort features, The Kona Electric Style also does not have a parking distance warning system with six sensors covering the front area, aside, to the back, which is usually accompanied by a cluster guidance display. This feature is very useful for assisting drivers in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. Nevertheless, Hyundai continues to equip this variant with a rear view monitor as part of the Hyundai SmartSense package, although other advanced safety features are not yet available.
In the entertainment sector, Another difference is the absence of BOSE premium 8 speakers that offer superior sound quality in higher variants.

Other practical features such as a smart power tailgate that allows users to open the trunk automatically are also not available, so trunk operations must be done manually. Besides that, fitur Vehicle to Load (V2L) which allows the car to be used as an electrical power source is also not supported on this variant.
Nevertheless, The Hyundai Kona Electric Style Standard Range still offers impressive performance with a capacity battery 48,9 kWh.

This distance is indeed shorter than the Signature Long Range variant which can cover a distance of up to 602 km, but still very adequate for daily needs.
