Vehicle Development News
The products that vehicle manufacturers are producing will have a direct impact on consumer choice. Here are a few developments that indicated some recent trends.
Hyundai Kona Electric
Hyundai’s first electric car, the Ioniq that they launched not long ago in December 2018, is a stand-alone new model shape.
Their latest electric vehicle is the Kona small SUV based on the existing petrol model.
Like the evolution of hybrids before them, this is bringing electric power into mainstream vehicles rather than just special, different looking cars.
The Electric Kona has good performance and a very good range rated at 449 km. There are many features in the two spec levels; the Elite and the Highlander.
But it comes at a price. $60,000 to $64,500 plus on road cost. The price might suit early adopters but not a mass market.
