It is now India’s best selling SUV ] With Govt of India promoting launch of electric vehicles, more and more OEMs are planning to launch EVs in the country.

One can expect a range of at least 350km on a full charge since the Kona has close to 400km as a company-claimed figure. In certain global markets, Kia Motors has already got the Soul EV and Niro EV under its belt ...
