          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            Hyundai Kona Electric

            • Claimed range of 452km as per ARAI. Even if the real world range drops by a big margin, there’s enough for a week’s worth of commuting
            • 3 year/unlimited km warranty on the car & 8 year/1,60,000km warranty for the battery pack
            • Feature loaded electric car. Gets goodies like LED projector headlamps, powered driver seat, heated and cooled front seats, sunroof, 8-inch touchscreen, 6 airbags, traction control & a lot more
            • Super smooth drive experience. Immediate acceleration, nearly noise free driving and easy to understand driving behaviour make it a good purchase for first time electric vehicle buyers
            • Multiple charging options - DC fast charge, level 2 AC wallbox charger & level 1 portable charger
            • Low running cost. Hyundai claims overall operational cost, including services, is 1/5th of an equivalent petrol car

            Kia Seltos

            • Upmarket cabin experience with soft-touch elements and dual 10.25-inch displays.
            • Some features from segments above, including panoramic sunroof, ADAS and dual-zone climate control.
            • Multiple engine options including a diesel with both manual and automatic options.
            • Segment-leading 1-5-litre turbo-petrol engine with 160PS
            • Aggressive looks with attractive lighting elements.

            Hyundai Kona Electric

            • Average cabin space. Not comparable to a similarly priced petrol/diesel SUV like the Jeep Compass or Hyundai Tucson
            • Average boot space is on par with sub-10 lakh Rupee hatchbacks
            • Limited traveling charge options. You will depend on availability of fast charge stations or have to use the portable charger that takes several hours for a full charge
            • Lacks the road presence and size of a price rival like the Compass or Tucson

            Kia Seltos

            • Crash test is still pending, but is expected to be less than the 5 stars of Kushaq and Taigun.
            • Shallow boot limits the practicality of the space.
