Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Hyundai Kona Electric
- Claimed range of 452km as per ARAI. Even if the real world range drops by a big margin, there’s enough for a week’s worth of commuting
- 3 year/unlimited km warranty on the car & 8 year/1,60,000km warranty for the battery pack
- Feature loaded electric car. Gets goodies like LED projector headlamps, powered driver seat, heated and cooled front seats, sunroof, 8-inch touchscreen, 6 airbags, traction control & a lot more
- Super smooth drive experience. Immediate acceleration, nearly noise free driving and easy to understand driving behaviour make it a good purchase for first time electric vehicle buyers
- Multiple charging options - DC fast charge, level 2 AC wallbox charger & level 1 portable charger
- Low running cost. Hyundai claims overall operational cost, including services, is 1/5th of an equivalent petrol car
Skoda Octavia
- Impressive balance of ride and handling
- Powerful engine
- Interior fit and finish, and quality
- Super practical boot and cabin

Hyundai Kona Electric
- Average cabin space. Not comparable to a similarly priced petrol/diesel SUV like the Jeep Compass or Hyundai Tucson
- Average boot space is on par with sub-10 lakh Rupee hatchbacks
- Limited traveling charge options. You will depend on availability of fast charge stations or have to use the portable charger that takes several hours for a full charge
- Lacks the road presence and size of a price rival like the Compass or Tucson
Skoda Octavia
- Price
- Missing some premium features like a sunroof and ventilated seats
- Lack of autonomous safety features
- No diesel powertrain on offer
