A Look at the Hyundai Kona EV

The 2022 Hyundai Kona EV has all the hallmarks of its non-electric counterpart. That is, it’s a robust SUV with smooth handling, generous cargo space, and an expansive suite of technology that comes standard. Here are the details regarding this much-talked-about electric car.

Performance

The electric motor gets its power from a 64.0-kWh battery pack. The total output is 201 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.

Front-wheel-drive is the sole drivetrain option.

Range

This vehicle can travel up to 258 miles on a full charge. This impressive range is partly due to regenerative braking.

This process converts the kinetic energy acquired during braking into electricity. The electricity then recharges the battery while the car is in operation.

Speaking of charge, you can replenish the battery using a standard home 110-volt or 240-volt outlet. You can also charge the vehicle on a DC fast-charging station, available all over the country.

Infotainment

An eight-inch touchscreen display screen comes standard, as do Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™. An upgrade to the SEL trim comes with a sizable 10.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation.

A six-speaker audio system comes standard, with an eight-speaker system for the Limited trim.

Design

There are a few styling changes for the 2022 model year. This includes the addition of front and rear bumpers. The newly available a 10.3-inch digital gauge display adds a nice touch of modernity and sophistication.
