The Hyundai Kona entered the automotive scene last June, bringing with it style and a funky vibe. Yet even in its infancy stage, the Kona, named after the Hawaiian district that caters to adventure seekers, spawns a new variant that one can call future-proof. Why? Because it’s electric
The Hyundai Kona Electric combines the zero-emissions mobility of the future with one of the fastest-growing segments in the automotive industry—the Sport Utility Vehicle. Retaining the chic looks of the internal combustion engine-equipped version, this one can be distinguished thanks to a new closed-off grille and revised front bumper that give it better aerodynamics.
At the side, silver sills help tell this model apart from the standard version, as does a mildy tweaked roof spoiler that again, improves aero efficiency. The look is finished off by exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels.
Passengers will revel in the slew of luxury features that are fitted in the new Kona Electric. Eight-way power-adjustable front seats with a 2-way power lumbar support for the driver are part of the package. These can even be cooled or heated, along with the heated steering wheel. And there is a new 7-inch touchscreen that sits at the center of the dash.
