    hi.

     

    there is a new updated kona out, i’m not sure when it is order-able on the scheme. probably next quarter. there are some major improvements to interior and a new exterior design. slightly bigger battery , but i think it retains the current model’s basic running gear. it looks lovely

    i have 2021 kona that has done 37,000 of literally problem free motoring. if you compared it to an ICE vehicle it’s quiet, rapid, and the ultimate model  has most of the toys you’d ever need. heated and ventilated seats, electric sunroof, all the traffic assist stuff. even tells you when it’s not safe to open your drivers door when parked and there’s a vehicle coming. it’s not massive on the back but i can get my dads wheelchair in the boot. really comfy on long journeys. you can drive pretty much with one pedal. the paddles behind the steering are brilliant for regenerative braking. so you can coast on the motorway or come to a complete standstill by pressing and holding the left paddle. it has radar cruise control and lane keeping assist. which is great on motorways. the blind spot indicators are great too. over all. excellent car.  i would have another one on a heartbeat. there’s better cars out there i’m sure. but for an electric car with this sort of range and AP it’s difficult to beat.
