2023 Hyundai Kona-EV Air Filter And Wipers | Battery Details User Guide

The 2023 Hyundai Kona-EV is the most advanced electric vehicle that Hyundai has ever made. It has advanced lighting systems that are meant to look good and work well. LEDs are used in many new cars because they use less energy and last longer. However, the Kona-EV might use a mix of LEDs and standard halogens depending on its trim and optional features. These lights are carefully chosen to work best, whether they’re lighting up the road ahead or drawing attention to the shape of the car. Hyundai makes sure that every light source in the Kona-EV, from the bright headlights to the soft interior lights, fits with the car’s eco-friendly philosophy without sacrificing style or safety.
