The Kona Konquers All
The electrifying new 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric is here at Carolina Hyundai of North Point, and we’re incredibly excited to share it with you. This next-generation subcompact SUV has all the makings of a bestseller and with it, Hyundai is REALLY making a case for itself in the all-electric segment.
Here, we’ll talk about our favorite features, and why you should absolutely consider the Kona Electric if you’re in the market for a smaller SUV.
I’m nervous about an all-electric vehicle. Is it for me?
While that depends on your individual situation and home setup (or even your expectations or usage of your vehicle), our short and sweet answer is—yes, EVs are for everyone. Quite simply, they’re the future, and that’s become increasingly clear over the last few years.
Plus, setting up a home charging station is relatively inexpensive, and can save you a lot on fluctuating gas prices in the market, which have been frustratingly volatile over the last couple years.
If your primary usage is driving around the city, and you’re looking for a powerful, efficient, sleek SUV, then the Kona is a great choice.
What kind of performance can I expect?
The Kona electric offers a maximum range of 258 miles, which is comparable to sedan EVs, and pretty revolutionary for the SUV category. We’d argue that’s enough to go several days on a single charge. In terms of torque, it offers 291 lb-ft, which gives it a lot of muscle and power.
What does the exterior look like?
Hyundai has recently been knocking it out of the park with their vehicle designs, and the Kona EV is no exception. Its fluid design and accentuated curves turn heads at every corner, and the sleek headlamps give it a rugged but futuristic feel. It’s got modern 17-inch alloy wheels that really stand out, with a wide palette of swatches to choose from. Our favorite is the Cactus Fern with Black Roof. Absolutely gorgeous!
What about the interior?
The interior comes in black or gray, and is built with traditional Hyundai comfort and styling. It’s got a floating center console with a 10.25-inch digital driver information display that we’re big fans of. It gives the front cabin a nice, futuristic feel.
Cargo space comes in at 45.8 cubic feet, which means there’s plenty of room at the back to pack whatever you need.
What other features should I know about?
It’s quiet as a pin drop without sacrificing on power or acceleration or top speed.
Speaking of sounds, the 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system is a huge plus for us. It’s not something you traditionally associate with a Hyundai, but you won’t hear us complaining over the sound of that crisp, clear music.
Why should I buy with Carolina Hyundai of High Point?
