The Kona Electric’s spacious interior is as comfortable as it is modern. Inside there is room for 5 people, and 60/40 folding rear seats for added luggage space.
This Premium SE model comes with luxurious features that will transform your driving experience such as electric adjustable leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, plus heated rear seats and heated stearing wheel. The dashboard boasts an intuitive 7" digital cluster display making critical information readable at a glance, whilst the centre-mounted 10.3" touchscreen gives quick access to car functions including navigation.
Its standard infotainment system is easy to use and comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring, so you can seamlessly use the sat-nav and music apps on your smartphone on the Kona’s screen.
The Kona Electric Premium SE 64 kWh has a distinctive, sporty look, with wrap-around LED lights, alloy wheels and roof rails. It’s enticing you to get in and drive.
The unique closed-off front grille, exclusive aerodynamic 17" alloy wheels and the distinct frame add flair to the design. This trim offers privacy glass on the rear sides and tailgate for a premium finish.
Its 201 PS electric motor makes this Kona powerful while being very easy to drive as you can shift gear into Drive, Neutral and Reverse with a single button press on the central column. What’s more, regenerative braking controls on the steering column let you balance acceleration and efficiency by shifting power to the wheels or battery as needed.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 77 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 64 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 45 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 170 miles of range.
"The Kona Electric is great to drive, being punchy in town and comfy and quiet on the motorway.
It has a very commendable range for its size, too."
