Non-North America 2022 EV Question - Instrument Cluster

View attachment 12445 View attachment 12445

Yes there are four settings and one has a digital display. If you can read the speed on the HUD you can certainly read it on the display because although the digits aren't huge, they appear bigger than on the HUD. In the pic you'll see the speed at zero on the left of the display and you can just see it on the HUD.

 

I don't notice any difference between my 2018 built and the 2021 built in terms of the regenerative braking. To come to a stop I use the left paddle unless it's a curve going downhill which is the only time I normally use the disc brakes. Also my suspension is the same and so is the handling, thank goodness!
I'll have to check the display of the next turn. It is on the centre panel but I'll stow the HUD and see if the next turn is on the cluster.

 

I'll take a trip around the block and get back to you on that.

 

If you stop with the left paddle the car stays stopped. If you stop with the footbrake, and take your foot off the brake it creeps. You can't stop by just taking your foot off the accelerator - on level ground it slows to a creep.

For the next turn on the navigation, it does not show on the cluster right in front of you. It does show conveniently by my left hand on the centre display (Right hand drive car). You can see a U-turn in 100m on the display.

 

There may well be but I have not used it so quicker to send you pictures.

 

My 2021 model has those themes. They and the method to get them are not in the paper owners manual, but are in the on-line AVN manual at

I think what you call a 2022 model is what is currently built in 2021, and described as a 2021 model here. (It's why I put "built" in the member signature.)

 

AFAIK, yes. I'm new to EVs, Hyundai and Kona, so I don't know about earlier models - sorry for the resulting lack of detail.

Prompted by John's post, my battery was manufactured in March 2021 and my Kona in April 2021. I bought it in May - it smelled very new.

 

Bet you're enjoying it!

 

Oh, yes! It's mostly the wife's suburban run-around but we've done a couple of trips. The first was 270km (return) of winding, hilly back roads with some very steep 600 metre climbs and descents. The second was 520km return of highway driving. It's an excellent little tourer and LOTS of fun on the back roads. 2200km on the clock in a month of ownership, averaging 14kWh per 100km.

It's the wife's car but my toy .

 

I'm sure that the matter of naming model years is more the convention of the automobile industry in a particular country than a peculiarity of Hyundai USA. As to the other differences in features and options, I know that the importer here puts a lot of effort into specifying what they believe the local market will appreciate, and correspond to the brand positioning. I'll upload a review that was published locally and is in another thread which mentions brand image for fleets. All that said I have no explanation for why your white is "Lunar White" and mine is "Atlas White"!

 

Pray tell! Is it a car for Surfing Democrats?
