Hyundai, with its Korean sister brand Kia, has established itself as one of the leading automakers in the field of electrified driving lines. They have the own electric Ioniq electric – in addition to the plug-in hybrid and regular hybrid. In addition, they were released in 2014, with series-produced hydrogen-series cars (Ix35).
Last year, Hyundai Ioniq was named the car of the year and recently introduced its new generation Nexo SUV Hydrogen. We have recently tested it.

It was not long ago that the Korean launched its new compact folk wax called Kona, but as we wrote, we tested it with a gasoline engine – this is 39; is probably the electric edition that will be the most sold in this country. version with the largest battery capacity in. That is, 64 kWt – the same as the car of the year 2018 – Opel Ampera-e. By the way, it's the same supplier – Korean LG Chem. The car comes standard with a heat pump and battery alarms.

With this battery, Kona Electric can be recharged in less than ten hours if you have a capacity of 7.2 kW with a homemade. The fastest capacity from nearly empty to 80 percent of capacity is in just under an hour with a fast 100 kilowatt charger. It remains to be able to put up a little more …

The driver can choose the level of regeneration of the energy of deceleration. This is done via handles behind the steering wheel, and you can choose between four levels. But even the fourth does not give much regeneration like, for example, Nissan Leaf or BMW i3, which can be done completely without the brake pedal.
Folkwoman format
The woman is therefore a compact SUV – with its 418 centimeters in the long run, it belongs to the smallest category in the category with cars like VW T-Roc and Seat Arona
The Design language is decidedly different and reminds some of Citroën's smaller models. Despite the fact that the car is relatively small, the space is perceived to be good, but if the big-headed person is forward, the space in the back seat will be a touch for adults. The luggage compartment is good enough for size, but 322 liters are smaller than a VW Golf.

We sat well in seats that provide good support and indeed with a pillow long enough for the article author of 188 centimeters. The driving environment is clear and the operation is intuitive and quick to get used to.

Spark Driving Experience
Like most electric cars, Hyundai Kona Electric Spokes are experienced right from the start. And with its 204 horsepower, it's also more pronounced than most, offering more than you need that way. Of course, it also offers a security bonus in terms of good passing characteristics.
The driving experience, in addition to the intense speed increase, is characterized by good comfort. The car is heavy, but the suspension is suitable for small and large bumps. Otherwise, driving characteristics can be characterized as good and reassuring, but not particularly dynamic, or almost neutral with the normal tendency of under-control.
RASK, BUT NOT GTI: 0-100 in under eight seconds thanks to 204 electric horsepower, that's fine, but the driving characteristics are not sharp enough to make the car dynamic. Photo: Hyundai

But in the corners, after all, the weight is marked – a battery weighing well over 400 kilograms is fired. The command is also less communicative and lacks the direct feeling, even if it is precise.

And as it could be said a long time ago, the waiting
The list of interests was to be closed as early as March, when 20 000 people had registered and that 7400 people had booked and waited for their car. The result is, of course, that whoever wants to buy today is far behind the line. If you order one today, you may not have a car before the end of 2020, although the importer hopes it will be faster.
