Hyundai Kona Electric: It shows how it's done

◄►

Feel: From the outside, only the closed radiator grille and the green license plate plates are noticeable, which distinguish the Kona-Elec from its conventionally powered siblings. In the interior, the driver and passengers can expect the usual high-quality Hyundai quality, the comfortable seats also covered with fine leather. The cockpit spoils you with clarity and avoids design gimmicks; the spacious center display is used, among other things, by an excellent navigation system.

Drive: Driving an electric car is almost as easy as autodrome driving. In sport mode, passengers should hold on tight, the Kona completes 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.5 seconds. In comfort mode he is comparatively civilized, in eco mode he sometimes even allows himself to be asked a little. Due to the low center of gravity of the battery installed in the underbody, the road holding is naturally excellent. Interesting: According to the display, switching on the heating only costs around 12 kilometers of range.

Load: As a compact SUV, the Kona is obviously not a space saver. While the front seats are extremely comfortable, there is little knee room in the rear seats, and the trunk volume is also the highest in the class. The charging cable is stored under the false floor in the trunk. Speaking of charging: The Kona could be fully charged overnight in 8 to 9 hours using the 400 volt/50 kW wallbox in the publisher's garage.

Conclusion: Extremely sporty driving performance, zero emissions, a decent range and all for half the price of a Tesla Model S - the Hyundai Kona Electric is currently the electric car with the best price/performance ratio on the market. Anyone who understands lifestyle as dynamic mobility with consideration for the environment and the surrounding world is guaranteed to have a strong appearance with the Kona.
