Hyundai Kona Electric Is Now More Than 80,000 Reais Cheaper and Is Leading as the Cheapest Electric SUV in the National Market.

The price war between electric and hybrid cars in the market is getting more intense. Proof of this is that Hyundai recently announced another price reduction for its range of electrified products, namely the Kona and Ioniq. In this article, we will highlight its engine, range, interior space, and many other aspects.

Hyundai Kona Electric Is 80,000 Reais Cheaper

According to a statement from Caoa, after renegotiating prices with the Korean headquarters, the automaker’s cheap electric car, the Kona, dropped from R$ 219,990 to R$ 189,990, resulting in a R$ 30,000 reduction.

It’s worth remembering that the Hyundai Kona electric was already on sale with an R$ 80,000 discount compared to its launch price of R$ 299,990. This keeps the affordable electric car in the position of the cheapest electric SUV in the country, ahead of the JAC E-JS4.

The Hyundai Kona electric can deliver up to 136 horsepower, but what really impresses is its torque of 40.3 kgfm, ensuring a 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds; however, according to tests, it can be even quicker. According to Inmetro, the affordable electric car can deliver 252 km of range on a single charge. However, it is important to highlight that Inmetro conducts very rigorous measurements.

The rear of the vehicle features a unique design with brake lights at the top and indicators at the bottom. The trunk offers 322 L of space, slightly larger than a Fiat Pulse, but trailing behind a Hyundai Creta. When all seats are folded down, the affordable electric car can provide up to 1,500 liters.

Among other incredible technologies of the model are the digital air conditioning, driver’s seat with electric adjustments, adaptive speed controller, lane departure warning with steering correction, automatic emergency braking, wireless phone charger, heated folding mirrors, head-up display, LED headlights with automatic activation, rain sensor, and digital instrument cluster.
