For those opting for the higher-spec ‘N Line S’ trim, enjoy the luxury of ‘Eco Alcantara’ and leather combination upholstery. Notably, this unique Alcantara material is crafted from 57% recycled polyester. The N Line S variant adds heated/ventilated seats, a premium Bose audio system with a subwoofer, the ‘Full Width Horizon Centre’ daytime running light bar, and full projector LED headlamps.
Under the surface, both N Line variants pack a punch with a 64.8 kWh battery and a front-mounted electric motor delivering 160 kW of power and 255 N.m of torque. For the Australian market, the power figures are slightly adjusted to 150 kW and 250 N.m.
Production of the Kona Electric N Line is slated to kick off next month, with European roads set to see these electric wonders in the last quarter of 2024. The pricing for the Kona Electric N Line starts at £40 395 (R985 613), while the N Line S trim kicks off at £43 095 (R1.05M)
Hyundai’s latest Kona Electric N Line brings a blend of style, performance, and eco-friendliness to the electric vehicle market, aligning seamlessly with the design language of Hyundai’s dedicated electric models like the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6. Should it come to SA?
