Everything I LIKE and DISLIKE about the 2024 Hyundai Kona 

Just purchased my ‘24 Kona Limited and I have to say for the amount of money this is, and ALL the features we get it is such a steal. I’m obsessed. I also don’t love the open center console I think that was a mistake on Hyundai’s end but it also is gonna keep me less cluttered so I guess it has a perk. The style might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s mine, ❤️ Also a little surprised you didn’t love or hate the gear shift. That seems to be pretty polarizing.

Won't be long before someone smart makes an aftermarket divider that goes all the way up to the arm rest that'll completely enclose it for storage. After all, it's removable.

I just bought my '24 Kona Limited today. When i got home I noticed the trunk light is very very small and off to the side. Therefore the trunk area is very dark with no light overhead ~ I'm very disappointed with that. I also don't like the open console either. I'm planning on getting something that will close off the console area so I have some sort of privacy storing items there. And I'm already trying to decide what I'm going to do about the light; will be getting a rechargeable light within the next few days that I can use. But I'm looking forward to learning how to use and manage all the options on the infotainment system. My last car was 12 years old and didn't even have a remote start. > So huge upgrade.

I just purchased an SEL convenience. I like the center console personally. Im taller, so having it more open and lower is more comfortable for my kegs to spread out a bit. I also feel like women would appreciate it as a purse could be put in the center easily, particularly with the cup holders retracted. Agree on the key fob though, i call it a "happy meal" key because it looks like a 25 cent plastic toy. Key on my 2022 elantra i traded in was much better quality!

i bought mine a week ago. still getting used to it. just that the sides in front get very heated

I have to agree 💯 about the center console, it's too open and Hyundai should've kept the enclosed storage or, better yet, for more privacy/security, the glove box should have a lock.

I bought the Limited yesterday and I overall love it, it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever had by far, but things I don’t like about it are: 1. Auto cruise too darn slow to accelerate off the line to get moving from a stop. 2. No ability to turn the steering wheel during parking assist with the key fab 3. Always needing to reactivate the auto following whenever the vehicle stops for more than a second, needs to be at least a good minute or more a bit annoying and counterproductive considering how convenient the feature actually is when things are stop and go traffic.

I actually like it, especially with the light interior color scheme

its my first Hyundai. The car drives like a dream and has some awsome fetures. I know what you mean about the key fob. For such a nice car, its horrible. Big, bullky and gets in the way. Its the only thing id change. Ps. i brought a seperator off TEMU for the centure console. Brilliant. Thank you for your video.

The people dancing when you turned up the volume!! Lol 😂😂

Do I get this new Kona or a Kia Niro hybrid?

I love my kona 2018

I'm driving a 2022 Kona Limited and for me, Hyundai went backwards in some of their aesthetics. I have the gray leather interior also, but my door panels are two-toned. A solid gray makes the inside cheap-looking. Also, a BIG DISLIKE is how they used the same 1.6 Turbo and therefore the MPG is greatly reduced as a result. Now, I have a year left on my current lease, so let's see what happens next fall (2025 Kona?) I agree with your dislikes in general. OMG! That keyfob looks horrendous! An open center console misses the mark! After all those Hyundai vehicles getting broken into, c'mon Hyundai! I also wish the arm rest extended as even in my 2022 Kona, my elbow doesn't reach the center armrest. Awkward. Final "nail on the coffin"? Dealer markups. I would have liked a HYBRID version in the U.S. For the same money, I'm also looking at a 2024 Toyota (best manufacturer) Corolla Cross Hybrid which has AWD standard. Toyota is very "plain Jane" with the interior design, but with a 42 MPG, I'll take plain over Spaceship design. Now if they lower the price on their EV....

En España aparcan rozando los parachoques. Los faros ahí en la esquina van a durar poco 😂

OMG.. i didnt know about the ugly and bulky key fob until I watched this video. No one mentioned about it! Maybe a girl with her big bag ca drive this. I don't want to fit that key in my pocket! The door looks plain and really boring too. Thank you so much for the video. Looking at CX-30 now.

I dislike the absence of driver door lamps to alert other motorists you are opening or exiting the vehicle. They should have that standard for safety. I know i have it on my 06’ Elantra and found it useful. Per haps i could fit the doors with reflective tape or a bicycle reflector mounted on the driverside doors. Leg room another issue and comfort on long drives. Seeing the actual model in person and cargo space did not have the same quality of space as seen on this channel. Entering this car was cluster phobic. Too many buttons and no stick shift floor selector? For self defense driving, I like a gear selector stick shifter. If a fuse blows, how do you shift to nutral? Another thing i dislike: Wheres the CD player? I like to insert audio books to listen to. Not music and news. I like there is no ashtray. Does the glove box have a light inside it?

Rear turn signals are way too low, an accident waiting to happen.

front looks electric ha ha

Another UGLY design. People will buy it because it looks different, but they will get sick of how ugly it is in a short amount of time. It's the kind of design that will depreciate the vehicle fast, because no one will desire to have it used.
