Hyundai Kona Electric specifications

As Hyundai points out, the new Kona Electric should be extremely trendy for two reasons: it’s a B-segment SUV without an internal combustion engine.

Compared to a regular Kona, the Electric can be identified by a vestigial front grille (which incorporates the recharging socket). Inside, a central 7” screen displays the infotainment and vehicle monitoring functions, while paddles behind the steering wheel control the regenerative braking system’s severity.

Hyundai will offer two versions of the Kona Electric. However, unless there’s a huge price difference, surely most customers are going to choose the more practical Long Range option?

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives
