Matt thanks for reviewing a base model 2024 Kona. You might be the only one on RU-vid that has. Was that Kona Ecotronic Grey?

@MattTheCarguy 10 месяцев назад

Thats exactly the color! Thanks for watching!

@gtech66 10 месяцев назад

I really prefer a vehicle without a sunroof and no leather seats. Sunroof always leak during torrential downpours and leather seating gets very hot in the summer. The display is not mounted on the dash, love that. Wireless charging is useless, no need for that. Lots of amazing features, just no white seats, they must be a dark color. Don't forget the 60,000 mile base warranty and 100,000 mile powetrain warranty. Hyundai has come a long way. Great review.

@MattTheCarguy 10 месяцев назад

There is also black interior. And great point about warranty! Thank you for watching!

@youipost 10 месяцев назад

Sunroofs haven't leaked in years due to a gutter system that channels any water getting through down a tube away from the car interior.

@@MattTheCarguy Isn't that the 2-liter engine that was previously recalled? Maybe the 1.5 turbo is the better choice for more reasons than power.

@TommyG11814 4 месяца назад

@peterandrewj the Turbo is a 1.6 and the new Smartstream 2.0 is not like the older 2.0 theta II . HOPEFULLY the new Smartstream series will be much better.

I'm in the market for a compact vehicle and I like the new Koma. It fianlly has: 1. LED headlights as standard! Better visibility. 2. electronic brake (frees up space on a narrow vehicle). 3. Digitla gauges (no more stupid analog speedo that reads to 160mph). 4. Spare tire. 5. You can activate the rear camera on demand (no put in reverse). 6. Higher oof the grounds than a sedan. Sorry, were o live there lots of speedbumps. 7. Is perfect for my short city commutes. I will try to lease one soon.

@MattTheCarguy 10 месяцев назад

@simonrasmussen2345 10 месяцев назад

I like the light colored interior as it brightens up the car. Particularly important in a base model without sunroof. In teresting that it has a conventional floor-mounted gear selector rather than the column-mounted twist stick on higher models.

@MattTheCarguy 10 месяцев назад

I think the "twist" shifter comes with the more powerful engine.

@wilbryest 8 месяцев назад

am curious if you find the base engine underwhelming or just adequate (taking into consideration the size and weight of the Kona)

@MattTheCarguy 8 месяцев назад

Depends on what you like. Its enough for city driving but will not win any races. Enough power for daily commuter.

@gvrmvny4698 10 месяцев назад

For a base model Kona it’s definitely worth it but I’d rather go for the Kona N or N-line. 👍🏻 Could you review the 24 Sonata N-line when it’s out in the states

@MattTheCarguy 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! Yes as the Sonata makes its way to dealerships I will review it.

@richardflower5993 10 месяцев назад

Hi Matt I bought a new one this past week but it is a fwd model up here in Canada. I got the next trim level are these SUV any good.

@MattTheCarguy 10 месяцев назад

I think they are! They build on the previous generation which people liked so time will tell but i think you are good! Enjoy!

@harisniazi22 10 месяцев назад

Hello Richard, I ordered the Essential model here in Quebec. It’s been a month still waiting. How long did it take you to get yours? and how do you like the base kona model. Is it good enough?

@Jshmoney24 2 месяца назад

I’ve been considering this car and model but I keep seeing issues with engine reliability which is kinda turning me away from it. It’s this or the 2024 civic sport based on everything. Still looks like a slick car

@MattTheCarguy 2 месяца назад

Civic is definitely a safe bet althought they had some issues with their engines as well. If you google "civic engine issues" you'll see its not problem free. Hyundai gives you best in class powertraon warranty as extra piece of mind. They are not perfect but came a long way since they were first introduced in US.

@Jshmoney24 2 месяца назад

@@MattTheCarguy I appreciate the input!That’s a fair point. Maybe I just got scared off by seeing the Kona issues first. I should realize any car could have issues technically. Civic seems to have better mpg and Kona has better storage. I travel some so I’m stuck trying to guess which one gives me less a chance being stuck on the side of a random highway haha. Then again I don’t know too much about cars so your videos help. Have you done any videos on the civic?

Great review. I'm in the market for an affordable small SUV and Kona is on the list. The base version has some great features but I can't understand why Hyundai cheaped out on some important details: - No padding on door arm rest ! WTF, this makes the car feel ultra cheap to save maybe10 dollars per car ! - Door design with cheap looking unicolor plastics. Feels and looks like a 1990s Hyundai accent. - No leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter (available on upper trim levels). I would trade in the hood struts for the above details. You sit in the car every day but only open the hood once in a while. I like the 17 inch wheels and the manual HVAC controls of the base model but those cheap plastics could be a deal breaker. Any Hyundai execs out there ? ... stop giving us cheap plastic interiors !

@MattTheCarguy 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! I dont mind the color on the door panels as much but i would like to see the soft pads on the armrest and maybe something to break up the monotone look. Leather wrapped steering wheel is usually reserved for higher trims so no surprise there. As far as interior quality I think Mazda CX-30 is the winner with more upscale accents.

@palebeachbum 9 месяцев назад

If you think this new Kona interior is cheap, you should experience the Toyota Corolla Cross interior. It's such a thoughtless design with even cheaper materials.

Thank you for taking video of the base model. However, I wish you spent some time with the car before you actually made the video. It is obvious you did not since you didn't know that the steering wheel is both tilt and telescopic.
