Well hyundai has a predefined trim system, they cut cost of manufacturing by only having predefined trim levels that you can't customize.

They might still do this cutting of horsepower but they do it because of batteries.

e.g. the 39kwh and the 64 kwh Kona has the same motor but on the 39kwh it's limited as the battery pack can't deliver enough juice.
