2021 Hyundai Kona N @ Nürburgring | POV | 16.10.2021 

This dude also has skills. He’s approaching every corner perfectly.

How about excellent work driver. The driver of the m3 may be just an enthusiast. This driver of the Kona is clearly pro level, if not he at least trained under professionals

Yea he is a very good driver! For sure …

This time, it's the driver.

*saying

Agreed 👍

absolutely

Man is not about word but he have big balls skills drive plus this fxxx beast SUV have top stability flat I luv it bravo nice ride.

Why explain something, when you can let the car explain better than any words ever could.

That's also small CC

Thank you :)

@@DrivingCars You had the ESC off don't that make it unstable with the handling? What was the warning that jumped up tire pressure warning?

At a fraction of the cost.

that is not only due to the performance of the car, do not under estimate the performance of the driver.

It’s worth the wait …😋

Doubt we will see this state side.. 🥺

@@corinnezug8300 I bought mine in Phoenix, Arizona, in May '22. If you still want one, you'd better act fast: After the '23 model year, they're gone.

Any update now that you have had it for awhile? Been looking into getting one myself

@@kingtoyou7806 I really enjoy the car, no big issues with it. I wish I had money to customize it but it’s great stock and never feels like I need more power lol

@@F1fletch very cool, thanks for the answer

@@F1fletch Dude stock is just fine, car is pretty and that engine is at its max really. Invest maybe in tires, interior, some gadgets and such. Maybe one thing I wished for it is to be maybe smaller cause it feels too tall for its lenght.

@@sasagrcevic475 I agree, now that I have had it 18 months I want to go with tires and wheels but otherwise leave it stock. I am never touching the engine, it’s plenty fast.

Probably in full N mode

bouncy on N mode since it's track setting..

I have one of these. The bouncy is super true. The "soft" setting is stiff and the "n" mode is teeth chattering haha

thank you. yes, the car is great here at the 'ring :)

thank you :)

So do I... I just got one.. and it's a beast. In lunar white

ANY of the N cars in GT7 would make me happy.

@@shortair84 I bought the Racing red one just waiting on the DCT recall to get a fix before I go on a long trip again.

@@cindysue5474 My car was manufactured in April 2022 and I bought it in May. Fortunately for me, the recall notice for the DCT issue never has popped up. To be on the safe side, I've taken the car in for service every 3,000 trouble-free miles. The only "modification" I've made (if you could call it that) was to swap out the OEM Pirelli P Zero tires for a set of the more durable Pirelli P Zero "Elect" version. Road hazards took out two of the original gum erasers before I'd even put 5,000 miles on the car: The "Elect" tires are much more durable and have improved the ride, handling and performance of the car significantly. Speaking of tires, my only complaint about the Kona N is that Hyundai cheaps out and only supplies a so-called "tire mobility kit" instead of an actual spare tire. I shuddered to think if I'd been in the middle of nowhere when I picked up those two tire-killing road hazards. I decided a spare tire was a must, searched online, and found a spare wheel-and-tire package expressly made for the Kona N by Modern Spare. modernspare.com/product/2021-2023-hyundai-kona-n-spare-tire-kit/ The tire is mounted on a wheel that's made to fit over the Kona N's oversized brakes, but is "shallow" enough to rest in the wheel well under rear floor. Voila!

thank you :)

Oh, big thanks, man :)

My pleasure

It's really just a tall hatch. Considering they didn't lower it at all over stock, it's only 5 inches taller than my elantra and most of that is just greenhouse. Both the folks on either side of me in my parking garage have Kona's and they are surprisingly small by comparison.

whats the rule behind the long straight? i was waiting to see the kon n go full speed and then the driving ends. 🤔

thank you :)

good choice!

@@DrivingCars Thank you for this video!

it didn't even occur to me. I completely forgot about it

My Mom has one. It is surprisingly snappy and hatchback-y feeling! Also way more planted than you would expect from a pseudo crossover. Fun little car she is!

I think Kona N dont have 4wd

aren't the kona awd?

@@daniel-it2lw Kona N is FWD, some grades of Kona N-Line are AWD.

@@celicajim9336 I don’t think an AWD version exists of the N

i20 N is good as well, not so fast, but you can push it harder on the roads.

you're welcome, my pleasure :-)

No, fully stock car

Stock brakes are pretty impressive. Won't last long though. Very soft compound, like the stock tires lol

Thank you. Yes, the car was absolutely stock.

No lsd 🥹

There’s speculation that the hp number on the Ns are wheel hp number. People have dyno’d a few Elantra N they have made close to their hp rating to the wheels

Wouldn’t that cause insurance to be much more expensive?

i know this is old but people have dynoed these stock and made over 300ps to the wheels

310 hp on dyno, full stock!!! ❤❤❤

They are definitely sandbagging the actual numbers, but as an owner I can say that 320-330 would be the sweet spot. 30-100 this car rips, beyond that you'll be rocking back and forth wishing for a little more.

Nope, it's only FWD with e-LSD. And it's absolutely stock.

Not bad I have a 2020 AWD Stinger.Power is very good from this.I do not know if you have driven a stinger but I just top speeded mine and where you were doing about 125 or so the Stinger probably would have been around mid 140s and probably would have caught that pack in front at the beginning.I also have cross drilled and vented Geomet rotors all the way around to go with the brembos and a str8 exhaust welded to the undecarriage of the car no mufflers.

@@khronin Yes, i drove few stingers, also at the Nürburgring ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fdMfCmv54cQ.html ). Love the car

@@DrivingCars I just got a KONA N--after the break in I will film some laps at road ATl--I picked up some pointers watching your vid.I also plan on putting geomet cross drilled and vented rotors on all 4 so I have more confidence entering turns faster.I sold my stinger months ago and the Kona N seems pretty capable for what it is.I have less track time then you but it shows how someone with skill can beat up on a more expensive car--I just came from a CX-30 turbo and here is a video of me taking a 40 MPH sharp turn at 70--about 5 MPH faster then I could in a Type R civic.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WJ74X_c1s7c.html

yes, it's absolutely stock. NGS: No, i have forgot at this function, it's only without it with full gas.

@@DrivingCars Holy cow! With NGS, you could defiantly put more pressure to that M cars. Nonetheless, I can definitely see why Biermann intentionally did not go with AWD. The weight of AWD would have ruined the track performance.

what!s the problem, bro? Don't drive with gloves? So, it's your choice. I am driving with gloves, my choice.

@@DrivingCars "bro"? "problem"? A bit sensitive you are (maybe that is why you use gloves)

yes, that's the reason :-)

@@ebusdk If someone can drive as good as this guy, they can wear whatever they want as far as I’m concerned.

@@pushrod3022 Valid point indeed

I absoluitely forgot about NGS. But thank you :)

코엔도 280마력/ngs : 290마력입니다

코나N과 아반떼N은 같은 터빈사용으로 마력이 같습니다.

@@Corner_rascal No the Elantra has bigger turbos...

Kona and Elantra has the same upgraded turbos and I think the latest i30 has it aswell

Wrong. KN and EN are the same.

Je tam ten předepsaný od výrobce, ten první, se kterým auto vyjelo z výroby

thank you. the car was completely stock

there were yellow flags :)
