This indicates a potential four-variant portfolio for the new Kona Electric in Australia. Key equipment highlights across the range include active air faps, 1700W vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, a head-up display, i-Pedal driving mode, smart regenerative braking system, battery pre-conditioning, heat pump, battery heater, and over-the-air updates.

Hyundai Australia CEO Ted Lee expressed excitement about this showcase, highlighting the company’s dedication to bringing advanced electrifed vehicles to the Australian market.
