Shop for a new Hyundai Kona on CarGurus: cargur.us/ZP95r
The 2024 Hyundai Kona, an SUV first launched in 2018, has been revamped with both the standard and electric versions. Notably, Hyundai has adopted an EV-first approach for this second generation, designing the Kona primarily as an electric vehicle rather than modifying a gasoline version. This new Kona is also noticeably larger than its predecessor, with an increase of nearly six inches in length, and the electric-centric design is evident in its overall appearance. Despite its innovations, the new Kona remains affordably priced, starting at $24,100 for the base SE trim. However, prices can surpass $30,000 for premium models. These higher-tier versions justify their cost with enhanced features like larger screens, advanced safety technology, and luxury amenities such as a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats-rare finds at under $35,000.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this crossover here in Canada heated seats and steering wheel comes standard across all models

@Kim-vn9ue 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for mentioning the lag when speeding up!! Was looking for this info

@xXYellie12Xx 9 месяцев назад

Test drove this the other day, a huge step up from the previous model. The n line package looks infinitely better than the base model aesthetic though. The only disappointing thing is there is no ‘N’ variant like the old Kona had.

@Steve_in_NJ 9 месяцев назад

And no hybrids in the U.S. either which is a shame.

@afcgeo882 8 месяцев назад

No N yet…

The inside is very nice but I wish they didn't do the crazy molding/cladding around the tires. 😩

@DsgSleazy 8 месяцев назад

Exactly, it’s ridiculously hideous.

The molding is actually to help be easily replaceable in places that are normally prone to damage. It's not a bad thing and you don't notice it after a while.

If they brought the '24 Kona Hybrid - I'd get that in a heart beat... Looove the design and interior + features AND finding out it comes in Hyundai's Denium Blue Metalic- I'm obsessed - just wish they were confirmed bringing the Hybrid to the US ;-;

@Steve_in_NJ 9 месяцев назад

Looking forward to leasing my 3rd Kona next year!! I had a 2019 Limited, now driving a 2022 Limited Kona, and would lease the Limited model again. This time, I may even spring for AWD. As I am watching several Kona videos, the new look is growing on me. Those Cylon eyes on the front and back of the Kona (Battlestar Gallactica, for those who didn't catch the reference) is unique. I fell in love with my 2019 Kona back in the day because I love driving unique. I still like unique, but I cannot afford Ioniq. See what I did there? Anyway, this is the best video so far on the new Kona and I always use Car Gurus online for research. Looking at other subcompact SUV too -- again, lease is up next year, so a 2025 model year for me -- and by then, maybe a hybrid will be on the Kona horizon in the U.S.?

@Steve_in_NJ 9 месяцев назад

Forgot to add -- so glad Hyundai "saw the light" and discontinued the dual-clutch. I rarely notice it, but when I do, it's a pain in the a**.

The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE (AWD) maxes out at $35K (after taxes), and when I spec out the Kona (AWD) it’s about the same. You’re getting more car and style for the same amount, so I think it’s extremely competitive. Just have to see how reliable it it though….

@afcgeo882 8 месяцев назад

It’s frustrating that Europe and Asia get this in a hybrid and we don’t. While I can’t get an EV (I’m an apartment dweller), I won’t ever go to a fully gasoline engine again. This removes the Kona from my list. The Corolla Cross is still King.

Question: did you find the shift lever pretty intuitive?

@dylangardner9762 5 месяцев назад

I drove it for a week I will say at first it’s a little tricky but after a day I had it down and it was actually kinda convenient for quickly shifting

Picking mine up in 2 days (N Line) What do you mean wireless android auto is an available upgrade coming soon? Does that mean I would miss getting it because I'm getting the Kona N line too soon?

@KGerrell27 9 месяцев назад

I keep seeing that it will come in 2024 with an update

@frgarcia89 9 месяцев назад

Yes. The new cars have bigger screen not compatible with wireless car play still works through wired. But wireless is coming with an update soon. Old cars have wireless because they are 8” or under.

@Dreadpirateflappy 9 месяцев назад

@@frgarcia89 no, early builds of this new Kona had wired carplay, they all had the bigger screens.

@Steve_in_NJ 9 месяцев назад

OTA updates next year (Over the Air) will add the wireless feature. Yes, OTA is a new feature for Kona!!

@mrjockt 9 месяцев назад

So it looks like the Kona is now around the same size as the current Tucson, will the next gen Tucson increase in size as well?

It’s nowhere near the Tucson.

Just got mine a week ago. basic model. This is a nice car, great interior. A lot of great feature included . PRO: A LOT!! of space for driving. If you are tall or overweight, this is a great car for you. PRO: Many included feature, remote with bluelink (but having issue with mine right now). PRO: Price is very nice for a SUV. CONS: Car panels feel like they are thin. CONS: Noisy car hear the exterior easily. CONS: Sound System. Feels a bit like no bass in the car even with equalizer modified. There is a lag, indeed, but this is a basic car, I don't intent to go from 0 to 60 in 3 secs either...

@michaelpater2958 9 месяцев назад

just bought a new one recently and very unhappy with it. Main thing is the speed limit system doesnt work well and is constantly beeping. It uses road signs which are infrequent.. and it misses them.. cant turn it off permanently either.. so get used to annoying beeping

@denisehildebrand3791 8 месяцев назад

Pretty sure you can program it so it doesn’t beep

@michaelpater2958 8 месяцев назад

no you cant.. you can only set temporary.. my wife is hating the car more and more.. wish we could sell and buy something else without losing too much money. ( to be fair the actual driving and interior and mechanical functions of the car are great. ) just very poor electronic systems .. buy something else

I used to love the Kona, but WTF is up with that big black front grill? I prefer the EV front at 1:05

@xXYellie12Xx 9 месяцев назад

As the non EV version is a petrol powered car and has a combustion engine, it does in fact need a big grill.

@timevans9427 9 месяцев назад

Black body plastic. Don't be fooled. It's just ANOTHER way of cost cutting. Way CHEAPER that painted body panels, and serve NO purpose!

@Dreadpirateflappy 9 месяцев назад

Higher trims DO have painted arches. they aren't trying to hide the fact it's cheap.

@timevans9427 9 месяцев назад

@@Dreadpirateflappy I agree they are proudly displaying their plastic, but clearly they've gone overboard as a styling feature.

Great car ruined by 'Nanny' electronic warning systems and beeps, when are the car makers going to fix this with a single switch? Japanese make better engines as well...overpriced Korean...great review though. Thanks!!

@MrProy33 7 месяцев назад

Rented one about 6 months ago, had 27 miles on it. We were the first drivers. It was the absolute worst driving experience ever. Acceleration and shifting are miserable, like the transmission is guarded to prevent fast take-offs and freewheeling. The handling was sluggiah and heavy. It wasn't sporty or fun. It was a drag... boring, uninspired, and way too computerized. It felt like the car was trying to drive me, instead of the other way around. Plus, they're ugly. Hard pass. Not sure who this is for. Too small for a family with kids, not sporty enough for a young couple on the go, too big to be a commuter, so it ends up being just a medium-sized waste.
