JAKARTA - This year, PT Hyundai Motor Indonesia (HMID) is recorded to have launched various models for the country's market, starting from all-new Kona Electric, Ioniq 5 N, Creta Alpha, all-new Santa Fe, and most recently is the latest generation from badminton.

Although there are quite a lot of them released, the Hyundai brand holder in Indonesia wants to launch one more model for the Indonesian market by the end of 2024.

PT HMID's Chief Operating Officer, Francis Soerjopranoto said that his party would launch another model believed to be the latest Battery Electric Vehicle for the Indonesian market.

"In this month, we will make sure to launch one model, namely Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)," said Frans when met by the media at SCBD, Jakarta, Thursday, November 21.

He also signaled that the model would not only be EV lines but would also be produced locally in Indonesia by utilizing the assembly of the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (HMMI) in Cikarang, West Java.

"What is clear is that EVs are assembled locally (CKD)," added the man who is familiarly called Suryo.

The possible model to be introduced by the manufacturer is Kona N Line. Based on VOI monitoring on the Samsat-pkb.jakarta.go.id page, the model has been registered at the Motor Vehicle Selling Value (NJKB) with the code N 'NEWKONA NLINE EV2WAT' for IDR 418 million.

However, the selling value can change because the price does not include taxes such as BBNKB, PPh, VAT, and others. Because this is a type N Line, the car will have a sporty look with a performance that is more powerful than its standards.

As an illustration, the highest variant, namely Signature Long Range, has an electric motor measuring 160 kW and a torque of 255 Nm so that it provides a pleasant responsive acceleration.

Meanwhile, this car will have impressive travel to reach more than 500 km in one full charge.
