Hyundai Kona Electric 2019, review from Canada: video

Many details covered.

We have in the past presented very good video reviews of the Hyundai Kona Electric. This news, animated by a certain Edward (a little lower), is particularly complete, even if, technically, it is more a walk than a clbadic magazine. Considering that the Canadian version of the all-electric crossover was recently put on sale in the Great White North – where these images were shot – this is a good time.

The vehicle of the video shows the "Ultimate" finishing level. It has a number of features that are not included in the "preferred" trim package still available (the United States has three trim levels). These include an 8-inch touch-screen navigation system with Infinity premium audio system, all-LED headlights, an electric sunroof and leather seats, the front pair being ventilated. The starting price is C $ 51,999 ($ ​​38,930).

Speaking of seating, one of the things our Canadian owners of Kona Electric InsideEVs forum have noted, and one of the few details not mentioned in this video, is the Canuck version of the vehicle do not have power controls for the front pbadenger seat. Or motorized folding mirrors, from elsewhere. He comes however with a heat pump and five years of free Hyundai Blue Link.

The video appears on the Ed's Garage YouTube channel, and here is where it gets a little interesting. Edward, as he says in the clip, works for Mertin Hyundai, a dealer located in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Sellers selling traditional brands have been criticized for not having been very knowledgeable about electric vehicles in the past. This charge certainly can not be attributed to this guy. As you watch the video, you will see it highlight a host of facts you have not learned from flipping through a booklet. This writer has certainly learned a few things.

Even if you do not buy the Canadian version, we think this video is worth it. Kona Electric should start shipping to the United States fairly quickly. If you ordered one, it should help you prepare.
