Hyundai Motor recently launched the All-New Hyundai Kona Electric. In the following videos, we receive some exclusive insights about the model from Andreas-Christoph Hofmann and Thomas A. Schmid.
The All-New Kona Electric carries the same expressive design of the regular Kona, while reflecting the individual lifestyle of modern customers who benefit from a car that is fun-to-drive while retaining the low-environmental impact of a fully-electric car. The key design differentiator is the closed grille which gives a clean and stylish appearance, while also enhancing aerodynamics.
Andreas-Christoph Hofmann is Vice President of Marketing & Product at Hyundai Motor Europe. In the following video, he discusses how the All-New Kona Electric fits into the brand’s eco strategy.
