⚡⚡2022 Kona EV Electric (Preferred trim) full feature review!⚡⚡ 

Excellent review, perfect for new buyers as a lot of information can be lost if given in short period of time. This way people can review after their purchase to take more info in. Ed, hope that car went on a charger after you finished filming, EV’s don’t like to sit at that low state for long.

Hey Ed - we took delivery of our 2023 Kona Ultimate EV in Black last Thursday...Holy Crap! I have owned well over a 100 cars/trucks in my 50 years of driving and I cannot remember a car that puts as big a smile on my face as this car does! Hyundai has done an awesome job on this thing...wife and I put 500km on it in 2 days! Love it! As for Hyundai making their own steel Hyundai is an incredibly large company that builds more than just cars and steel, they are also one of the biggest electric motor and drive system manufacturer (I was involved in selling/servicing large electric motors - up to 7500 hp+) so they are a pretty interesting company! Anyway love the car and your reviews are excellent! Mike 🇨🇦 🍁 👍

Very detailed and extensive review. A lot of content I must say. ✅

thank you for the video, im hopefully getting this car this weekend

Excellent review, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and truly impressed - I believe this is close to the SEL trim in the US. Thank you, Ed!

really thorough review thanks!

love your review!

Excellent overview of the vehicule! I have just order one!

Helpful review!

well prepared, excellent review of this car!

Great feature review!! I'd really like to see the 'cube' display while the car is moving. Is it animated?

👍👍thanks for detailing this beautiful car 👍👍

Great video!

Great video! +1 subscriber!

Awesome vids thanks for the walkthrough! Just ordered one from my dealer here in Qc!! Do you know if I can swap the led headlights from ultimate onto my preferred model? And last question, do both models use heat pumps for heating/cooling? Thanks!

Got mine yesterday 😄

I have the similar one since end of August

Excellent overview. FAR more comprehensive than 3 dealers I’ve been to in the UK. In fact the first Hyundai dealer I went to said he didn’t have one and I couldn’t get one for 6 months. He then let me walk out. I’m ready to buy!!! Unbelievable. Hope dealer 2 is more responsive today or I’ll buy online. Good job fella, and if I was in BC you’d have my business 👍

Thank you for your review! I’ve been looking for a reviewer that’s about my height, 6’3”. Stupid question but what trim did you review?

I bought a 22 kona EV preferred last week and it’s fantastic and amazingly efficient. I average 13 kWh per 100 kms

I like the review of the hyundai kona electric in the perfered I was wondering should I use the remote starter on the fog during charging after it finishes charging for all 4 seasons spring summer fall and winter

Does this model not coming with a heat pump too please? Great content, thank you.

Does the Regen level 3 make the car stop when you stop accelerating ? Or do you still need to hold the left paddle ? Looking for one pedal driving without touching the paddle.

Thanks

Is the software in this review older than the one shown for the Ultimate trim in July? Seems like there were some differences across the two despite being the same model (though I understand some of it may just be because of the difference in trim)

got the 2021 ultiamte. for 4200 off. its a great car. the tires are shit in the rain - hopefully they're fine in the snow. it has enough space in the back with the seats down that i fit a 24 inch dishwasher in the box. dont expect to stuff 5 people in the car and have any room though. it IS small. but thats what you're buying - a sub compact suv cross over hatchback thingie. its not a ford explorer. range is excellent and is as advertised. you will get well over 325 miles in and around town when you arent cranking the ac / heat.

Am I right to assume that if your phone is connected it will use Android Auto or Apple Carplay as a NAV on that radio screen

Could you add high beam assist to the model? Or do you need to bump up to the Ultimate for it?

Is the IoniqEV (original)discontinued for 2022? I have not seen anything about a 2022 Ioniq EV only the new Ioniq 5. I have a 2019 Ioniq PHEV and was considering moving to full EV but not sure I want to buy a 2021 Ioniq if this model is discontinued. I am presuming the Ioniq 5 will be more expensive and tough to get in BC although I have not seen Canadian pricing for Ioniq 5.

I'm reserve one KONA Preferred today, but do you think Ultimate is worth for 5000$ more ?

Can you please do a video of charging ? How much on mowmany walts

Anyone else dislike the location of the charge port. Seems like a simple bumper front bumper could render your car unchargeable. What do you think?

This is honestly one of the coolest looking cars out there so far Any idea why most EVs coming out aren't going for the RWD option? And instead choosing to stick with classical FWD option?

ground clearance ??

If you were at QC I would buy it with your help

Can more than one cell phone be used on the bluelink?

Why does it have an engine?

Like the video but please stop with the kilometers, we are on miles here.
