Barely seen in photos, the new Hyundai Kona Electric appears in a video thanks to a Korean YouTuber, filming the SUV from all angles.
A few days ago, Hyundai unveiled the second generation of its Kona. No surprise upon its reveal, as we knew that its Kia e-Niro cousin, already on the market for a few months, would serve as its basis. But the brand did not stint on information or photos, leaving a bit of frustration. Until this video…
From Tucson to Bayon, Kona style is traveling
For over a quarter of an hour, a certain YouTuber known as CarSceneKorea shows us the new Hyundai Kona Electric. He spotted an uncamouflaged example in South Korea, in a parking lot, apparently owned by the manufacturer. Entirely white, the compact SUV reveals more of its design. We notice a mix of styles, the Bayon for the front, the Tucson for the profile, and a bit of the old Kona for the extended side lights. But the 2023 Kona Electric has its signature, with front and rear light bars.
Its fenders are also of a different color than the body, similar to the Ioniq 5. However, the official photo suggested a uniform design. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 also lends it pixel lighting. These are repeated in the bumper molds, while the charging port remains on the front left, giving an asymmetrical look. Another visible element in this video is the front grille, which has a small active shutter opening at high speed to cool the batteries.
What do we know about the Hyundai Kona Electric 2023?
Unfortunately, not much officially, except for the dimensions: 4.35 meters, 15 cm longer than before. A more spacious size, which we hope will also be reflected inside, presenting like an Ioniq 6. The video confirms the only official photo, with two continuous screens planned, as well as the onboard system. We should enjoy the excellent interface we experienced during our test of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Simpler, the very horizontal dashboard will have an open storage space on the passenger side, very practical!
If the Hyundai Kona Electric 2023 adopts the same duo of a 150 kW motor and a 64 kWh battery as the Niro, the price will be high. Forget the current €36,100; it will have to be well over €40,000 for the new version. To be confirmed.
