Safety
Our experts like the Kona Electric models:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Warns if a front collision is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't react in time.
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Uses the forward-facing camera and radar to maintain a set distance from the vehicle in front, beneath a maximum speed. The system works down to a complete stop in the Kona Electric.
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning
- Alerts you with a warning if a vehicle is lurking in your blind spot and the turn signal is activated in that direction.
