Hyundai Motor UK announces all-new KONA Electric range pricing and specification

Hyundai Motor UK has announced pricing and specification for the all-new KONA Electric range.

With Hybrid and ICE variants already announced, the second-generation KONA Electric completes one of the most comprehensive product line ups in the B-SUV segment, including the widest range of powertrains. Customers can choose from EV (standard or long range), hybrid electric (HEV) and internal combustion engine (ICE) variants as well as sporty N Line versions of each.

All-new KONA offers more generous dimensions compared to the previous generation, with KONA Electric’s exterior proportions increasing all round with a length of 4,350mm (+145mm), a wheelbase of 2,660mm (+60 mm), a width of 1,825mm (+25 mm), and a height of 1,575mm (+20mm). Interior dimensions increase with a higher headroom of 1,015 mm (+10mm) in the front and 972mm rear (+15mm), longer legroom of 1,059mm (+5mm) in the front and 925mm (+77mm) in the rear and an increased shoulder width of 1,435mm (+25mm) in the front and 1,402mm (+17mm) in the rear. Luggage capacity is also considerably increased, with all-new KONA Electric’s luggage area now offering 466 litres of space with the seats up and 1,300 litres with the seats down, compared to the previous generation model’s 332/1,114 litres.

With increased battery size options, all-new KONA Electric now offers a range of up to 319 miles*. The standard range 48.4kWh powertrain option provides 156PS and 255Nm, with the long range 65.4 kWh powertrain offering 218PS and 255Nm. All-new KONA Electric also provides customers with faster charging options, with an increased DC fast charging capability of 102.3kW compared to the previous generation’s 75kW maximum. The previous generation KONA Electric was renowned for high efficiency levels and all-new KONA Electric is set to continue this reputation with advanced aerodynamics offering a low drag coefficient of 0.275, active air flow management balancing battery temperature management with aero dynamic performance and equipment including a standard heat pump, regardless of battery or equipment specification.

All-new KONA Electric shares the same iconic character as the HEV and ICE models, supporting active lifestyles for customers of all ages and generations, while offering new technologies and convenience features that provide a safe, connected, and comfortable experience. All KONA models are equipped with standard dual 12.3-inch panoramic display screens with full Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) which will also be able to support future Feature on Demand applications. Fitted as standard across the all-new KONA range is a standard navigation and infotainment system comprising of a 12.3” screen, Bluetooth, DAB radio, LIVE services, MapCare, Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, steering wheel controls and front and rear USB C charging points.

All-new KONA is also available with a Digital Key, which can use a compatible device to lock, unlock and start the vehicle. Digital Key uses near-field communication (NFC), Bluetooth low energy (BLE) and ultra-wide band (UWB) protocols on smartphones or smart watches (Android and iOS), which assures a high level of security.

The all-new KONA range includes a suite of Hyundai’s SmartSense Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and safety features. All KONA trim levels include Downhill Brake Control, Driver Attention Warning, eCall, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Car, Pedestrian, Cycle and Junction Turning functions, Hill-start Assist Control, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Follow Assist and Leading Vehicle Departure Alert.

All-new KONA Electric models are also available with Highway Driving Assist 2, providing assistance in keeping the vehicle correctly positioned in lane and an improved Highway Lane Change Assist functionality.

All-new KONA not only offers customers a considerable uplift of size, style and specification over the previous generation model but will also see significant value improvements, with strong residual values throughout the range resulting in PCP rates from £352 a month1.

Ashley Andrew, President, Hyundai Motor UK said “The original KONA Electric set an immediate benchmark for the EV sector with a combination of industry leading efficiency, keen pricing and high equipment levels all housed in a stylish SUV body. All-new KONA Electric will continue to deliver the solid foundations of the KONA name but pushes levels of efficiency and equipment even higher, with a body size that’s now optimised for space and comfort combined with futuristic EV-centric styling both inside and out but at all a price point that remains within reach”.
