Inovev forecasts 300,000 units per year of the new Hyundai Kona in 2030
- Hyundai presented the new generation of its compact SUV, the Kona, produced in thermal version in South Korea and in battery electric version in Europe (Czech Republic). Its launch onto market should take place at the beginning of next summer. In recent years, the electric version accounted for 20% of total Kona production. The new generation should do better and reach a share of at least 30%.
- The new generation is much longer than the old, reaching 4.35 m in length, 15 cm longer than the old generation, which now places it in the C-segment market, such as the recent Kia Niro(which shares the same Hyundai-Kia Group K3 platform) whose length reaches 4.42 m. In fact, the new Kona is as long as the old Kia Niro (C-segment). It has more interior space than the old Hyundai Kona.
- In terms of motorization, the new Kona is available in a full hybrid version (HEV) and in a battery electric version (BEV), but the thermal and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions are not scheduled by the carmaker, while the Kia Niro is PHEV and BEV versions.
- Compared to the previous generation, the prices of the new Kona take a significant jump, even surpassing those of the Kia Niro. Inovev forecasts 300,000 sales of the new Kona per year from 2030, including 200,000 units in the hybrid version and 100,000 in the battery electric version by 2030 (with a sales volume in 2024 of 50,000 units), which will remain produced in the Czech Republic, like the older generation.
