Thats the best review I have seen, to date. Thank you. You could explain the boot better, as I'm disabled and very few car reviewers take time to say if it would take a wheelchair. But I will look at this being top of my list. I'm buying a new one next year. Thank Brian

@gibs1814 8 месяцев назад

I agree I am torn between Model 3 and Kona Ev also drove BYD Seal but not a fan. Kona Ev is really good, very smooth riding and user friendly interior. Waiting to try M3 Highland to see if the ride had improved with the changes

@btnbiker 9 месяцев назад

There is no competition I would take Hyundai any day over those other brands based on my 5 years width the Ioniq and a Kona since March. I am convinced the Koreans fit their cars with magic battery elves (no doubt related to Leprechauns). I charged last week and the GOM was showing 363 miles.. I then went on a 140 mile trip mostly on motorway (sitting on 70) and the GOM accuracy only dropped by 25 miles. Hyundia know how to make EVs, so yes this will be at the top of my next short list

@NevoEVReviewIreland 9 месяцев назад

Agreed, great battery tech and efficiency. This is a little larger so the extra weight will hinder the range magic

Great review. Toss up between this and the Niro EV. Any pointers to Differentiate between the 2 options? Hope they both take a set of golf clubs in the rear (nearly as important as a kids buggy and overlooked). Thank you for any feedback

@NevoEVReviewIreland 9 месяцев назад

Currently 2 of my favourites. Tough to compare. KONA is slightly better value, Niro a slightly bigger boot. KONA slightly more powerful. I feel the Niro has slightly better spec with the option of cooled seats etc (trim and price dependant)

Have a 212 SV Qashqai manual. Would have to go e-power if sticking with Qashqai. Tested a new Kona and was impressed. However, slow to give up the comfortable drive that I know that the Qashqai but keen to go electric which would you choose?

@NevoEVReviewIreland 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment and question. I'm the wrong person to ask as I'm biased to fully electric and would pick the KONA. Have a look at the Niro EV from Kia too. Same platform. I'm not sure which has the smoother ride.

@peter2385 8 месяцев назад

Interesting review, well done. I'm curious if it is rear or front wheel drive (I may have missed that) or if there is an all wheel drive available?. I have an Ioniq 5 which I love but the fact that there is no rear wiper makes a huge difference as in some weather you may as well be driving a van with only door mirrors 😒

@NevoEVReviewIreland 8 месяцев назад

Front wheel drive. Apologies if I didn't mention it.

@ricco123tube 9 месяцев назад

I know it sounds odd, but I’m thinking of getting this or the new upcoming Tesla M3 sr. The only downside of the Tesla is that it costs 50% more to insure which is £2000 over 5 years. The kona will depreciate quicker but is a good buy after the first year or two, but the slow rapid charging is an issue for me. Or, maybe ill get the ioniq 5. Arrgghhh…..im going round in circles. Anyways, good first look review.

@NevoEVReviewIreland 9 месяцев назад

Thanks. Tough choices indeed. The DC charging will only really affect you if you're always on the motorway

@Joe-lb8qn 9 месяцев назад

If you buy the base M3 you'll get that 2k back over 5 years in not paying the so-called "luxury" tax whereas from what i can see with this being above £40k you are stuck with that.

@taylorthrall7321 2 месяца назад

Hi! Do you prefer the lighter interior colour or the black (leather) version? Also, can I add shortcuts to the infotainment to turn off the driver safety systems faster?

@oceanfroggie 9 месяцев назад

Interesting. Derek do Irish models have an app to remote turn heating, defrost, AC on, and monitor charging. The last generation didn't have blue link in Ireland? Does it have proper lance centre following?

Yes comes with BlueLink! Hyundai Highway Driver Assist also on the upper trim. I found it good at lane centering on the M50 run I did.

@hishamg 9 месяцев назад

I’m not sure, the TMY is a bigger car, closer in size to the Ioniq 5. Tesla doesn’t have anything in this segment yet. Hopefully Hyundai will sell this cheaper than the base models of TM3 and TMY. It’s one I would consider in a year or two. I like the combination of smaller size family hatchback with decent range.

@desobrien7357 9 месяцев назад

I think along the same lines. The MG4, Ionic 5 , Nero EV, Byd Atto 3. all on my radar. @@hishamg

Does it have a tow rating in Ireland? Braked/unbraked? Roof rack load rating? Everything else seems to be good, except maybe the excessive monitoring of the driver. A decent size vehicle without being too big. Comprehensive intro, except for the tow and roof rack ratings. Important for families into hobbies.

What are you talking about Derek...I love the light colour and am hoping they offer that in Australia but knowing them here doubt it and only offer charcoal in a country that gets 40c+ temps put in a dark interior...ugh. That other car I could see weren't dogging were they. ;) Not to worry about continuity, this isn't a feature film. :) It is on my shortlist along with BYD Atto 3, but my concern is interior colour, heatpump inclusion, towing capacity and roofbox, very soon it's launching here is my understanding so far all the #burningstuff versions have released yet it's built on a EV first platform so not sure where Hyundai's loyalties lie sometimes. Although ID.4 is coming in July next year would prefer Tavascan but that's not til 2025 here.

@NevoEVReviewIreland 9 месяцев назад

Loving the light colour too! No dogging that I could see 🙈. Comes with Heatpump here but every country spec is different. Towing 750kg and roofbox 100kg. Still can't believe you've not gotten the ID.4 yet 🤯
