2022 Kona Electric

As the automotive industry turns toward all-electric vehicles, Hyundai leads the way with cars such as the 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric. This innovative all-electric SUV is at the head of the pack regarding electric technology, available features, and safety. The Kona Electric has everything you want and needs in a small SUV along with an electric personality.

Exterior Design and Trim Levels

Designed for the future, the 2022 Kona Electric has an overall modern aesthetic that is pleasing to the eyes. Its soft curves, sporty stance, crisp lines, and modern lighting set it apart from the competition. You can have the 2022 Kona Electric in the SEL and Limited trim levels, both loaded with the available features you have come to expect from Hyundai.

Electric Power and Efficiency

The 2022 Kona Electric runs on clean electric power, eliminating emissions, oil changes, and stopping for gas. The Kona’s method of propulsion is a 150-kW electric motor with 201 horsepower and an impressive 290 pound-feet of torque. This electric motor is paired with a 64-kWh lithium-ion battery that can be charged via a 110-volt household outlet but is recommended to be charged on a 240-volt outlet for extended charging needs. In addition, the Kona Electric can be charged at DC fast-charging stations as well.

MPGe is how the Kona Electric is rated for efficiency, and it is estimated to have a combined MPGe of 120. This estimate rates the Kona as having a 258-mile range on a single charge. This range provides you with the assurance that you can travel where you need to go without concern of losing power and shaves time off a trip by eliminating the need to stop for gas. Other electric advantages such as California cash incentives, HOV lanes, and federal tax credit are available when you choose the Kona Electric.

Performance

Just because you go electric doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice performance. On the contrary, the 2022 Kona Electric provides a fun driving experience with quick acceleration, responsive handling, and comfortable ride quality. Furthermore, with its battery mounted underneath the floor combined with its low ride height, the Kona Electric achieves a much lower center of gravity. This low center of gravity stabilizes the Kona Electric and allows you to take a curvy back road or a mountain pass with confidence.

Another performance aspect to consider with the Kona Electric is its regenerative braking system. This system uses the brakes to capture and convert energy into electric power used to recharge the Kona Electric’s battery, resulting in additional range. When considering acceleration and torque, the Kona Electric’s electric motor doesn’t have to rev to generate torque and provides instant torque. This allows the Kona Electric to quickly and smoothly accelerate with a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds. There is no question that the 2022 Kona Electric has the performance you are looking for in a small SUV.
