The all-new Kona Electric is available in two different powertrain versions. The long-range battery version provides a driving range of 300 miles (WLTP), delivering a maximum output of 204 PS (150 kW). With 395 Nm of immediate torque and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, the all-new Kona Electric provides a fun-to-drive experience.
A special feature of the all-new Kona Electric is the shift-by-wire operation module which enables an intuitive operation of the electric powertrain. The adjustable regenerative braking system allows the driver to adjust the intensity of the regenerative braking by using the paddle shifts behind the steering wheel. The system recuperates additional energy whenever possible. Keeping the left paddle held, the driver can even bring the vehicle to a full stop – without using the brake pedal. In combination with the radar sensor, the smart regenerative braking system will even automatically control the regenerative braking in accordance to the traffic ahead.
The all-new Kona Electric offers a wide range of connectivity features, such as the infotainment system which integrates navigation, media and connectivity features – including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Wireless Charging. The new eco-model in Hyundai’s line-up is equipped with the company’s latest active safety and driving assistance technologies, called SmartSense. These include Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Recognition (AEB), Blind Spot Detection (BSD) including Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Driver Attention Alert, Speed Limit Indicator Function and Lane Follow Assist (LFA).
Drivers also benefit from the large 7-inch supervision cluster, which displays key information about the car’s driving performance and, in addition, the combined head-up display shows relevant driving information directly in the driver’s line-of-sight.
The all-new Kona Electric adopts the expressive-looking and powerful front from the regular Kona. The key design differentiator is the closed grille which gives a clean and stylish appearance, while also enhancing aerodynamics. Another characteristic element of the front design is the Composite Light, enhancing the visual impact with the LED daytime running lights positioned on top of the LED headlights. The Kona Electric’s optional two-tone roof and the choice of six distinctive exterior colours underline the personal style of its driver.
