Hyundai Kona Electric വില ബിശ്വനാഥ് ചരിയാലി ൽ

This car is expensive and needs to increase seating capacity, wide sunroof, and less price.

Apart from all the online reviews my personal overall experience of Hyundai Kona was literally very amazing, from interior to exterior, from exploring to driving. Everything is perfect in this car and it provides amazing features at a very competitive price in the market right now. 

Using it for the last 1 month. It's a gentle-looking beast. The pickup power is amazing. I tried 2 competitions cars in this segment. This is the best. Refined and well built, and superior performance. The Audio system is better than a premium car segment. The Bluetooth connectivity to stream all music from a phone, music apps like amazon music, etc are so easy and there is no loss of quality. The driver seat aircon is a super feature at this price. The most convenient system is the paddle shifters and by using it, you can reduce speed, stop the car, downhill drive become so safe and extends your brake pads, and ultimately you are charging the batteries. 5 plus stars for it. I'm getting 345 Km range after the 5th full charging cycle. Hope it continues to give this kind of mileage. Normal driving condition, I'm getting about 12-13 Kms per unit. But Power drive (I just love it on Highways and ghat roads) it's only 7-8 Kms per unit of electricity. Still, it's worth it. The average cost per Km is just Rs 0.90 to Rs1.50

I bought this electric car 2 months back, driven 9900 kms until now. It runs 250 kms around with a single charge comfortably with AC on. Then u have to charge for complete peace of mind. Price high but u get 40% depreciation in your ITR for consecutive 4 years which means u haven't paid anything except for insurance and RTO. please make this car with two sets of battery, one for 250 kms and other for 125 kms, and alternatively, they should get charged by the regenerative power energy source and kinetic energy too (just like the DYNAMO what we were using while driving a bicycle and the lights lit up with it) thus KONA will go beyond 1000 kms. Very smooth, silent ride. Cruise control and hill assist presently. 2 negative points. Rear seats not having any fan facility and rear shockers are not too good.

Hyundai Kona - First electric car of India was REVA but it was a very compact two-seater car with very odd design, it failed because of lack of R&D by the company's team. But Hyundai Kona Electric is an elite vehicle and it will attract n number of customers. The charging station will boost the sales of Hyundai. Those who are habitual of a manual transmission will have to adapt with automatic. Interior looks very comfortable and has controls just like any other elite cars. Exterior will give tough competition to upcoming electric cars of Audi, MG, Jaguar & Mahindra. There is no fuel tank so a vehicle is entirely dependent on electric charge. But yes 452 KMs in a single charge is sufficient for any passionate driver. The price is slightly high. On Road Price would be approximately 27 Lakhs (Including Insurance). Overall it will be a good buy because the earth really needs a pollution-free environment.
