The first electric compact urban SUV is coming in February
When it arrives in Europe this summer, the Kona will be the continent's first electric compact urban SUV.
Just a few months after widely announcing the new Kona SUV, Hyundai said the "electric" version is ready for its debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Basically, the Kona electric SUV still has the familiar lines that the public has admired on the regular version launched earlier in June. |
Hyundai did not reveal much about the detailed images of the new model, but the Korean automaker revealed that Kona will have 2 powertrain options, "providing customers with one of the most powerful electric battery systems on the market".
With any electric vehicle model, operating range is always a factor that car manufacturers pursue, which is always the thing that consumers care about most.
According to Hyundai, the Kona has a segment-leading range of 470 km. The car's performance is also said to be sporty, mixed with a bit of fun, and fully equipped with safety and driver assistance technology.
