JAKARTA PT Hyundai Motors Indonesia (HMID) confirmed that it will market the latest Kona Electric in the country, which was previously exhibited at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) last February 24.
The Hyundai car distributor in Indonesia said that Kona Electric will only be in the price range of IDR 500 million.
"In terms of price range, we will offer it at an interesting figure, around Rp. 500 million," said PT HMID's Product & Planning Wahyu Kusuma Danny, to the media at PIK, Jakarta, Friday, May 24.
The company also added that it has conducted studies on this model so that the prices offered can compete with cars in its segment.
"Regarding Kona herself, we have conducted studies in the segment. The B-segment that will be occupied by Kona baru has good reception," added Danny.
This car uses a base from its gasoline version model featuring a compacter and stiffer design, but highlights the modern and futuristic sides.
Kona Electric 2024 features a finer front design with elongated DRL LED lights, which have become the hallmark of Hyundai for some of its models such as Stargazer, Staria, and Sonata which are sold in the US.
The successful parametric design on Ioniq 5 was also adopted in Kona Electric, especially seen on the side which has a stiffer and beautifully engraved appearance. However, Kona Electric retains its own design language and does not imitate its larger brother.
Kona Electric terbaru juga dilengkapi dengan fitur Vehicle-to-Load, yang memungkinkan mobil ini menjadi sumber daya listrik untuk perumahan dengan daya hingga 1,7 kW.
Other features include a Smart Regenerative system that can adjust the brake regeneration energy based on traffic conditions, interior improvement with ambient lighting, interior accents according to body color, and a 12.3-inch dual panoramic screen for gauge clusters and infotainment systems.
