Most Helpful Review

One of the best in segment !!!!

After purchasing the car, I took a family road trip from Raipur to Kolkata. We left at 4:30 a.m. and arrived at 7 p.m. I drove 850kms without full halting, which was a lot of fun; the only downside was that the trip was over. I’ve attached a screenshot of my travel information. This car is a beast, and it’s worth every penny.

Experienced after buying

I bought this electric car 2 months back, driven 9900 kms until now. It runs 250 kms around with a single charge comfortably with AC on. Then u have to charge for complete peace of mind. Price high but u get 40% depreciation in your ITR for consecutive 4 years which means u haven't paid anything except for insurance and RTO. please make this car with two sets of battery, one for 250 kms and other for 125 kms, and alternatively, they should get charged by the regenerative power energy source and kinetic energy too thus KONA will go beyond 1000 kms. Very smooth, silent ride. Cruise control and hill assist presently. 2 negative points. Rear seats not having any fan facility and rear shockers are not too good.
