Kona & IONIQ 5: Two Family Friendly EVs That Earned Their Spotlight
Not every EV is cut out for the unpredictable rhythm of Sussex County life, but the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Kona Electric just proved they’re more than up for it. Both models scored spots in Nielsen Editorial’s list of top electric vehicles for families in NJ. These are vehicles that rise to the occasion when you’re trying to wedge cleats, groceries, and a shoebox diorama into the back of a compact SUV (and that do it efficiently).
The IONIQ 5 is the stunner in the school pickup line. It’s all bold angles, futuristic flair, and smarter-than-it-looks interior flexibility. Whether you’re cruising Route 23, headed to a High Point weekend, or just dodging potholes in Branchville, the sliding rear seats, wide open cabin, and sneaky good cargo space make this one feel like a lounge on wheels.
Then there’s the Kona Electric, which is the quiet overachiever. Small enough to parallel park in Newton, roomy enough for a week’s worth of errands, and with 250+ miles of range, it’s the go to choice for zipping between Vernon, Sparta, and anywhere else your to do list takes you.
Both EVs hit the sweet spot for North Jersey families: just enough space, tech that works without a tutorial, and the kind of range that keeps “low battery” warnings off your radar.
Visit Franklin Sussex Hyundai to check out the IONIQ 5 and Kona Electric and test their space, style, and smarts for yourself.
