Kona Electric – Why is it a Better Choice For You?

Kona Electric SUV is the first all-electric vehicle introduced in India. It’s a beautiful five-seater SUV designed to not only safeguard its passengers but also the earth from pollution. This has everything from amazing style and a high electric range to low running costs and unique driving modes. It is also available in two distinct models: Hyundai Kona Electric Premium and Hyundai Kona Electric Premium Dual Tone. It is an amazing vehicle perfect for both family and business needs. The innovative technology ensures that your family and friends remain safe and comfortable wherever you travel. It also provides a hassle-free driving experience since an electric vehicle has numerous advantages over fuel-run four-wheelers. Some of which are stated below:

 Exterior Design:

The all-new Kona Electric SUV has an extremely unique exterior design which has never been seen before- the first Hyundai vehicle without a cascading grille since an electric vehicle does not require an open front end to supply air to cool the engine. In addition to that, Kona Electric also comes with aerodynamically optimized R17 EV exclusive alloy wheels, a spectacular bonnet mounted DRLs with integrated blinkers and sleek LED Tail Lamps which adds a sophisticated look that distinguishes it from other vehicles.

Electric’s Charging Trio:

This EV has three charging options to ensure that you never run out of battery power. It  includes an AC wall box charger, a portable charger and a DC quick charger. The first charging option is the 7.2 kW AC Wall Box Charger which is a wall-mounted charger that is generally installed at home or office for faster charging. It takes approximately 6 hours and 10 minutes to fully charge the battery, whereas the 2.8 kW portable charger takes approximately 19 hours. The third option is the DC Quick Charger CCS Type 2 50 kW KONA Electric, which can be charged at DC fast charging stations. It only takes about an hour to charge your vehicle to 80% capacity.

Performance:

Hyundai has taken vehicle performance to the next level with the Kona Electric by providing a unique method to modulate the power released by the motor using the vehicle’s different driving modes. The ECO mode ensures that you save as much battery as possible for long drives, while the COMFORT mode is perfect for everyday commutes since it has a relaxed throttle response. The third and final mode will be the SPORT mode, which increases the response of everything, including driver engagement.

Safety Features:

It has some of the most intriguing safety features to protect not just the passengers but the vehicle too. For instance, when the vehicle is in motion, the Virtual Engine Sound System or VESS will generate an engine sound to ensure pedestrian safety. Other safety features in the Kona Electric include the Seat Belt Pretensioners for both passengers & drivers, Rear Defogger with timer, Six Airbags, Immobilizer, ISOFIX, Central locking, Rear Fog Lamps, Automatic Headlamps and many more.

Electric Gearbox:

Kona EV is an extremely advanced vehicle which even eliminates the need for a conventional gearbox as the vehicle’s motor directly spins from the axle. It also has a unique reverse gear, which can be activated by a button rather than a traditional gear lever.

Battery Warranty & Performance:

Hyundai also provides an 8-year or 160 000-kilometer battery warranty as well as vehicle-to-vehicle charging with the all-new Kona Electric. The all-new Kona Electric SUV comes equipped with an incomparable lithium-ion polymer battery that will provide enhanced performance. Its powertrain consists of a 39.2kWh battery pack coupled to an electric motor with a power output of 136PS and 395Nm and a torque of 40.27kgm. Also, Kona Electric is a zero-emission electric SUV with an ARAI-tested range of 452 km on a single full charge.
