The Hyundai Kona Electric is expected to look identical to the global model.
We already know that Hyundai is investing Rs. 7000 crore in India, a part of which will go towards the development of a new assembly line for the Kona Electric. The main purpose of manufacturing the Kona electric locally is to keep the pricing aggressive in a bid to make it a viable offering for prospective customers. Hyundai had earlier shared with carandbike that it wants to keep the Kona comparatively affordable for car buyers.
