Of course, the KONA Electric’s ability to provide you with a great ride starts under the hood. Here, you will find an impressive display of engineering.
The KONA Electric features a Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor, which comes ready to pump out 150 kW of power, which is equivalent to 201 horsepower, and 291 lb-ft of torque. So, while this vehicle is slight in build, its power outputs are actually quite large.
With plenty of pep in the SUV’s step, it also relies on a single-speed reduction gear transmission to regulate its power distribution. In doing so, it helps the vehicle utilize its energy more efficiently, contributing to the impressive range that measures in at an EPA-estimated 258 miles. The KONA offers a EPA-estimated 134 city/106 highway MPGe.1
What’s going on inside the cabin of the Hyundai KONA Electric? Well, for starters, there is a great deal of space. With 92.4 cubic feet of passenger volume and 19.2 cubic feet of cargo volume with the seats up, you will have plenty of room for both seating and storage.
Aside from space, though, the KONA Electric features intuitive tech features. Take the 8-inch touchscreen display, for example, through which you will have access to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. You’ll be able to easily integrate your mobile device with your ride to stay connected on the go.
The KONA Electric would not be complete without its suite of driver assistive technology. Fortunately, there are plenty of features in this package that will work to prioritize your safety and security behind the wheel.
Take the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, for example. This system works to monitor the environment around your vehicle, effectively detecting when other cars are entering your blind spots and alerting you. This system can prove particularly helpful on highways when you may be looking to change lanes.
When you explore this model, you also have a great deal of choice as to which specs and features you want. With the three available trim levels—SE, SEL, and Limited—you’ll just have to figure out which is the best fit for you.
