17.08.2020
German Hyundai’s division with an Auto Bild magazine tested the limit of a single-charge range of three Hyundai Kona cars at one of the German racetracks. All cars made over 1,000 km: 1018, 1024 and 1026 kilometers, considering the automaker’s spec of 484 km.
⠀
They used the most expensive Kona trim with 64 kWh battery pack and 204 hp motor. The average speed with lowest consumption was about 29-31 km/h that is pretty close to the average speed of city driving in large cities. Though, all drivers did not turn on the AC.
⠀
Testers were especially satisfied with the way Kona works when reaching low charge state. The car recommends to stop and charge when it reaches 8%, on 3% the car goes into the emergency mode and limits the motor power. After this the car is still able to drive about 20 km.
