Hyundai Motor Company Australia says the all-new 2021 Kona Electric “Standard Range” (100kW and 39.2kWh) which can do up to 305km (WLTP) on a single charge, and a coinciding price reduction for the now renamed “Extended Range” (150kW and 64kWh) powertrain variants makes the EV range more accessible.
The renamed Kona Electric Extended Range Elite and Highlander powertrain variants have received $1500 and $2000 MLP reductions respectively.
The entry-level Standard Range shares all the technology, safety and convenience features of its Extended Range siblings, Hyundai Australia says.
“The new Kona Electric Standard Range gives customers zero-emissions electric motoring in an attractive, sporty and practical small SUV, and at more accessible price,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive Jun Heo says.
“It is Hyundai’s intention to establish leadership for eco cars in Australia. We already have the most diverse range of electrified vehicles including Kona Electric, NEXO our hydrogen-powered SUV and the soon to launch game changing IONIQ 5.
“Hyundai is leading Australia’s charge towards a greener transport future.”
The new Kona Electric Standard Range powertrain delivers ample performance thanks to the fitment of a 327V, 39.2kWh lithium-ion polymer battery.
The Standard Range 39.2kWh battery versions will continue to deliver Kona Electric’s renowned instant acceleration through a 100kW permanent-magnet synchronous motor, delivering 395Nm of torque.
The 2021 Kona Electric range now starts from $54,500 manufacturer’s list price (MLP) which excludes dealer delivery and on-road costs.
