A Smooth, Fast Ride
You don’t have to drive a sports car to experience a fun ride. The Hyundai Kona EV, with its 201 horsepower, single-speed automatic transmission, and 64-kWh battery pack, can take you from zero to 60 miles per hour in just over six seconds. Imagine being on the open road and having the ability to accelerate quickly. This can come in handy to avoid a collision, but it’s also a great way to just enjoy your car a little more.
The suspension system helps, too, allowing you to take tight turns and curves with ease and premium handling of your vehicle. The location of its battery means that the center of gravity is lower in this vehicle. This is one SUV that doesn’t feel clunky. Instead, it drives like a quick, smart, and sleek sedan, which is what most people are going for in a new vehicle.
Long Driving Range
When you’re driving short distances around town, you want to get to your destination as quickly as possible. When you’re on a longer drive, you want to focus more on the restaurants you’ll try on the way and less about having to stop to power your electric car. With the Hyundai Kona EV, you get a highly impressive EPA-estimated 258 miles between charges, so you can enjoy the drive a lot more and with fewer interruptions.
If you do come across a direct-current fast-charging station, use it. With it, the Kona EV’s battery gets to 80% capacity is just under an hour so you can get back on the road quicker.
Space and Comfort
Drivers and passengers alike will appreciate the space in the Hyundai Kona EV because the Kona, even the gas-powered counterpart, was built with a battery pack in mind from the beginning. You won’t feel a difference in space because there isn’t any. All you’ll experience is a comfortable and roomy interior packed with standard features and plenty of available upgrades, so you can truly drive the car you want. You can also pack cargo in the 45.8 cubic feet of space you get with folded rear seats.
Technology for Your Benefit
The standard 7-inch infotainment touchscreen integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can enjoy your favorite music, podcast, and news apps while driving. Opt for all the features available in the Ultimate model and get with it a remarkable 10.25-inch screen with built-in navigation and an eight-speaker Infinity sound system. The technology doesn’t stop there, as the Kona EV also plays host to regenerative braking, a system that can convert mechanical energy into electric.
Sit behind the wheel of the Hyundai Kona EV and immediately understand why it’s such a fun, desirable car for many.
