Hyundai India today launched its first electric car in the country and yes it's a bold move. The car was launched at Rs. 25.30 lakh and that is an introductory price of course. There's also the option of a dual-tone paint scheme which can be got for an additional Rs. 20,000. Hyundai has invested heavily into making the Kona a viable option for the Indian market and the company is assembling the Kona in India as a result. Now, Hyundai is looking to sell 500 units of the car per annum in India and that's one way of ensuring penetration into the EV business. The number might not be much but considering that in FY2018-19 electric vehicle sales crossed the 7.50 lakh mark, the Kona electric's future does look pretty good in the country.

Hyundai Motor has launched the Kona Electric SUV in India. This is the first ever electric SUV to be launched in India and we believe it is a bold decision. The Kona is a compact crossover, similar to Hyundai Creta in terms of size and space but has a design which is not overly futuristic yet sharp enough to distinguish itself on the road. The front end gets slim LED daytime running lamps and low-mounted headlamps along with single-piece body-coloured bumper rising up till the bonnet. Hyundai's signature cascading grille pattern is embedded on to the bumper, giving it a modern, contemporary design.

The long-anticipated Hyundai Kona Electric SUV is all to go on sale in India this week on July 9, 2019. Apart from being Hyundai's first electric vehicle, the Kona Electric is also the first electric SUV to be launched in India, making it all the more important.
