There is no fair overall winner to name yet. Mitsubishi has announced the ASX VR-e as a small electric SUV for Australia and New Zealand, with launch planned during 2026, but its announcement does not provide the specifications or price needed for a proper comparison. The Hyundai figures available here are for the U.S.-market 2025 Kona Electric, so they cannot be treated as a direct match for the ASX VR-e or for a Kona sold in another country.

What is known about the Mitsubishi ASX VR-e?

Mitsubishi announced on August 17, 2026 that the all-new ASX VR-e battery-electric SUV is planned for Australia and New Zealand during 2026. The announcement identifies it as a small SUV and says it will be supplied on an OEM basis by Foxtron Vehicle Technologies, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn. Mitsubishi Motors’ announcement does not include a price, battery capacity, rated range, motor output, charging specification, warranty, or trim breakdown.

Mitsubishi says it tested the vehicle on local roads and gave it dedicated suspension tuning. It also describes an S-duct and active grille shutters intended to manage aerodynamic drag. These are manufacturer descriptions, not independent test findings, and they do not establish the vehicle’s range or ride quality against the Kona.

What do the U.S. 2025 Kona Electric figures show?

Hyundai’s U.S. listing covers four 2025 trims. The listed starting MSRPs exclude freight, tax, title, and license fees; the range figures are labeled EPA estimates. These numbers describe that specific U.S. model year and market, not a current price or specification for every Kona Electric sold worldwide.

2025 U.S. Kona Electric trim Starting MSRP EPA-estimated range Battery Motor output
SE $32,975, excluding freight, tax, title, and license fees 200 miles 48.6 kWh 99 kW (133 hp)
SEL $36,975, excluding freight, tax, title, and license fees 261 miles 64.8 kWh 150 kW (201 hp)
N Line $38,375, excluding freight, tax, title, and license fees 230 miles 64.8 kWh 150 kW (201 hp)
Limited $41,150, excluding freight, tax, title, and license fees 261 miles 64.8 kWh 150 kW (201 hp)

All prices, ranges, battery capacities, and outputs in the table are from Hyundai’s U.S. 2025 Kona Electric listing. The range difference between trims matters: the SE is listed at 200 miles, while the SEL and Limited are listed at 261 miles, and the N Line at 230 miles. Choose by the exact trim rather than assuming every Kona Electric has the same range.

How quickly does the listed Kona Electric charge?

For the U.S. 2025 Kona Electric, Hyundai estimates a 10–80% quick charge in 43 minutes on a 100 kW DC charger. With the listed 11 kW onboard charger, its Level II AC estimate for 10–100% is approximately 4 hours 55 minutes for the SE and 6 hours 5 minutes for the other listed trims. These are manufacturer estimates, not independent measurements; actual charging time can depend on conditions and the charging equipment used.

Which electric SUV suits your needs right now?

If you need a confirmed specification before choosing

The Kona is the more assessable option in the evidence available here because Hyundai publishes U.S. 2025 trim, price, range, battery, output, and charging figures. That does not establish that the U.S. model is available to you, or that it is the better buy in your market. Confirm the local Kona model year, equipment, price, delivery timing, and warranty before relying on those figures.

If you are shopping in Australia or New Zealand

The ASX VR-e is intended for these markets, but the announcement leaves the central buying questions unanswered. Wait for Mitsubishi’s local specification and price list, then compare it with the Kona actually offered in the same country and model year. A U.S. MSRP and EPA range are not substitutes for local on-road pricing and the local official range rating.

If your decision depends on range, space, or ownership costs

Neither the announcement nor the U.S. Kona listing provides a like-for-like comparison of local range ratings, dimensions, passenger and cargo space, safety equipment, warranty, or ownership terms. Do not infer the ASX VR-e’s battery, range, charging ability, or price from its supplier, styling features, or launch markets.

What to compare before you buy

Once both vehicles have official specifications for your market and model year, compare the following items rather than relying on a headline range or a cross-market price:

  • Availability and total price: Check local delivery timing and on-road price, including mandatory charges and any incentives that apply to you.
  • Rated range: Compare the official range figures using the same country’s test cycle. EPA miles and another market’s range rating are not directly interchangeable.
  • Battery and charging: Check usable or stated battery capacity, DC charging power and times, AC onboard-charger rating, and the connector used locally.
  • Performance and traction: Confirm motor output and drivetrain for the exact trim; do not assume specifications from another market carry over.
  • Practical fit: Compare exterior dimensions, passenger room, cargo capacity, safety features, and equipment against your regular journeys and load needs.
  • Ownership terms: Review the local vehicle and battery warranty, servicing requirements, and any included charging equipment.

For daily use, consider your commute and whether you can charge at home. For regular long-distance trips, map the charging options on your routes and assess how much range margin you want in real driving. If installing a Level 2 home EV charger, first check the vehicle’s local connector, your home’s electrical capacity, and applicable installation rules. The Kona listing’s Level II charging support does not establish compatibility for every market, charger, or the unannounced ASX VR-e charging system.
