Hyundai launches the new Kona Electric

Hyundai has launched the new Kona Electric, combining SUV style and zero-emission electric powertrain.

The new model in Hyundai’s eco line-up is available with two different powertrain versions, offering a range of up to 300 miles.

The fully-electric subcompact SUV features a unique exterior design with closed grille and a dedicated centre console in the interior for intuitive operation of the shift-by-wire gear control.

It also carries the same design as the regular Kona.

Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, vice president marketing and product at Hyundai Motor Europe: “Hyundai Motor is already leading in future mobility solutions.

“By launching our All-New Kona Electric, we are pushing our ambitious eco car strategy forward. It's a car of no compromise – combining an SUV body type with electric-mobility. It represents Hyundai’s progressive character. With Hyundai Motor, the future is now!”
