The electric SUV is confirmed to be launched in India in 2019
Hyundai has launched in the UK its compact electric SUV, the Kona EV.It is offered with two powertrain options: a 100kW (139PS) engine with a 39kWh battery and a 150kW (204PS) engine with a 62kWh battery EV prices start from £ 29,440 and go up to £ 36,295 (~ Rs 26.64 lakh to Rs 32.84 lakh).
Hyundai has already confirmed that it will launch the Kona EV in India in 2019 and it will be brought here as a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) unit. The manufacturer has not yet said anything about its prices, but we expect it to be at the same price as the UK market, just as the Tucson is available in India at Rs 18.29 lakh while It is selling at £ 20,160 (Rs18,24 lakh converted)
We expect Hyundai to offer the Kona EV in India with the less powerful 100 kW engine, so keep its prices under Rs 30 lakh. The 100 kW motor draws power from a 39 kWh lithium polymer battery. It makes 139PS, a healthy figure considering the expected price, and 395Nm, and claimed a range of up to 300 km. Charging the EV at 100% from a standard AC power source can take up to 6 hours. The 100kW Kona EV can go from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.3 seconds and has a top speed of 167 km / h.
