2023 Hyundai Kona Electric price to be announced later
The prices of the 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric are yet to be announced in the international markets. The 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric may come to India as the passenger EV segment grows in the country.
The outgoing Hyundai Kona Electric, priced at Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, was expected to get a facelift last year, but the new model is yet to reach Indian shores. Instead, Hyundai has launched the more expensive Hyundai IONIQ 5 in India. Thus it is possible that the Korean manufacturer may directly replace the aging Hyundai Kona Electric with a redesigned Kona Electric in 2023 with more range and skip the facelift altogether. The new 2023 model could be costlier by a few lakhs more considering the added range and features.
