Hyundai reduces the prices of the Kona Electric by 4,000 euros.

Hyundai responds to the weak demand for electric vehicles by reducing the entry price of the compact SUV Kona Electric with a 48.4 kWh battery, 115 kW motor, and 377 kilometers WLTP range to 37,990 euros, which is 4,000 euros cheaper according to the manufacturer. At the same time, there is an expanded equipment offering that is supposed to provide more flexibility and customization options. Instead of packages, the proven structure is used again: The equipment lines Select, Trend, and Prime, known from other Hyundai models, are now being introduced and are complemented by the sporty-high-quality N Line and N Line X levels. In addition to the 115 kW/156 hp electric drive (combined power consumption: 14.6 kWh/100 km), the entry-level version is now also available with the 160 kW/218 hp top motorization, which is still combined with a 65.4-kWh high-voltage battery (combined power consumption: 14.7-16.8 kWh/100 km). With this, the E-SUV can travel up to 514 kilometers (WLTP combined). At a 350 kW fast charging station, the battery charges from 10 to 80 percent within 41 minutes.

Furthermore, 12.25-inch displays, instruments, and touchscreen ensure clarity and information, while updates over the air enable continuous improvements. Two-zone climate control, full LED headlights with reflector technology, LED taillights, and 17-inch alloy wheels are part of the standard equipment, as are various assistance systems: In addition to an optimized intelligent traffic sign recognition, an occupant alert, a camera-based attention assist, and standards such as the emergency brake assist 1.5 with vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist detection, a lane following and lane keeping assist, a high beam assist, and an adaptive cruise control system are on board. From the Trend level, a heat pump is standard, along with full LED projection headlights and LED turn signals.
