    Hyundai is offering the Kona EV in just one variant and has made sure it is loaded with features to compete with other cars in this price range. Safety-wise, you have six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), electric parking brake with auto hold, hill-start assist, all-wheel disc brakes, tyre-pressure monitoring system, virtual engine sound system (it generates engine sound while in motion to alert pedestrians of the car’s presence), Isofix child-seat anchors, and rear parking sensors with camera.

    Bi-functional LED projector lamps are placed below the DRLs.

    For your comfort and convenience, there’s automatic LED lights, 17-inch alloys, a sunroof, 10-way adjustable powered driver’s seat, heated and cooled front seats, 60:40 split rear seat, auto-dimming inside mirror, heated outside mirrors, cruise control, drive modes, three regenerative braking modes and a wireless phone charger.

    At Rs 1.85 lakh, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is the most affordable 40hp bike in India. Would you pick it over similarly priced bikes with less power and features?

    Yes, 40hp at this price is unheard of!
