New Kona EV goes into production


Hyundai has begun production of the electric version of the new generation Kona, writes Brian Byrne. It is expected to be on sale in Ireland in October.

The car is being produced in its Czech Republic plant, and the company expects to produce 21,000 units of the EV there in the first year.

The petrol-only and petrol-hybrid versions of the latest Kona was launched here earlier this year.

Two versions of the electric Kona are being offered, with 377km and 514km ranges. No Irish prices are yet available.
