Mark Buckingham who is KiwiAudio has sent me three pics of the new Hyundai Kona EV in New Zealand. Well the first two actually, a red one and the familiar turquoise colour.

 

Glen Mason talking about his Hyundai KONA delivery: "Afternoon Martyn. Just thought I’d give you an update on my Kona delivery. My car is in the country and should be with me in the next 7-10 days so I assume beginning of September for the new reg.  Can’t wait!  Just need my Zappi installed now.. 10th September confirmed for pickup. Same as everyone else, based on forum posts. To me it looks like Hyundai want everyone in first two shipments to receive on the same day. Makes sense, better for publicity."
