Hyundai’s Electric Kona, which was launched at an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs 25.30 lakh, is expected to see a price drop of up to Rs 1.40 lakh.

To recap, the electric Kona features a 39.2kWh lithium-ion battery pack with ARAI range of 452km and a motor with 136hp power and 395Nm torque. The Kona can be recharged in 57 minutes till 80 per cent using a 50kW DC fast charger, or 6 hours using the included wall charger.

Hyundai is giving a 3-year/unlimited km warranty as standard, and an 8-year/1.6 lakh kilometre warranty for the battery pack.
