Read on to learn more about what makes the Hyundai Kona Electric stand out among electric vehicles.

A Closer Look at the 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric

Performance

Every drive in the new Kona Electric satisfies thanks to its smooth handling and thoughtfully-designed electric powertrain. A 150 kW all-electric engine provides approximately 201 hp to the front wheels, ensuring quick acceleration and instantaneous torque delivery every time you apply the throttle. What’s more, you can enjoy all this with the comfort of knowing you’ll get 258 miles of driving range on a single charge (with a combined MPGe of 120). Other performance features for this model include:

• 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds
• Regenerative braking technology extends driving range
• Battery comes with standard 10-year/100,000-mile warranty

Technology

As befits one of the vehicles leading Hyundai to a carbon-neutral future, the 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric comes equipped with class-leading tech features. Hyundai SmartSense offers drivers a wide range of safety features, including forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, smart cruise control with Stop & Go technology, and much more. However, that’s not to imply you won’t have complete control over your driving experience, as the Kona Electric comes with the new Hyundai Digital Key system allowing you to use vehicle functions remotely from your smartphone. Other technology features of the new Kona Electric include:

• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
• Up to 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system and infotainment suite
• 47-minute charge time when using Level III 100kW recharging

Design

The new Kona Electric offers both form and function with its attractive design, inside and out. The exterior is bold with prominent angles and fenders, while the interior remains welcoming, spacious, and functional. It’s a design philosophy that draws the viewer in with its relative familiarity while keeping your attention with its modern details. The headlights, taillights and general aesthetic of the baseline Kona have been retained for its electric version, with features like the easy-access charging port on the front bumper added without detracting from the Kona’s looks. Other design features of the Kona Electric include:

• 45.8 cubic feet of interior cargo space with seats folded down
• Optional premium audio package by Harman Kardon®
• Extra compartment under the cargo floor for convenient storage
