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.

Inside the affordable electric car, there is a minimalist design, with leather seats, soft-touch finishes, and good quality plastic. The steering wheel has height and depth adjustments, as well as features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.

The steering wheel also has paddles that, in turn, do not serve to change gears, but rather to activate the regenerative braking system. Its multimedia center comes with Android CarPlay, Apple CarPlay and good sound quality, with physical buttons. Its native GPS is one of its highlights, showing where nearby chargers are located.

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.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

China manufactures 150 buses in just 16 working days and ships them to Argentina at prices up to 30% lower than those produced locally, putting body manufacturers in the neighboring country on high alert due to the speed and cost of Asian production.

Brazil accelerates the production of electric buses and could end 2026 as the leader in Latin America in a race that promises to transform public transportation in large cities.

An 11-year-old boy from Texas was just hoping to be officially adopted, but he got the most exciting surprise of his life when 45 classmates showed up unexpectedly at the courthouse to celebrate with him.

Two cyclones are surrounding Brazil at the same time this week: one brings heavy rain to the South while the other pushes cold air that drops temperatures by up to 6 degrees in mountainous areas of the Southeast.

A 20-year-old young man became paralyzed from the waist down after an accident and received treatment with polylaminin in Santa Catarina, and he is already able to move his feet days later.
