Best 2024 Kona review yet.

@HanYou2 9 месяцев назад

Very nice review and comparison with the previous model. I own the previous one and I am amazed how many details you remember from the old model, you've nailed what I was interested in. I'm no longer in the market for this category of car, I just bought the Kona for lack of better options in 2020, but I must agree that the improvements are enormous. What you touched very little on is driving confort and suspension. How is it compared to the old one. My biggest complaint in mine is noise at highway speed, I can't listen to a podcast or anything because of the noise and the car bobs back and forth a lot over speed bumps.

Really dissapointed that Hyundai chose Front Wheel drive on the new Kona. Would have been amazing if it was rear Wheel drive. Even PoleStar realize that for an electric drivetrain RWD is the way to go.

@kelalamusic9258 4 месяца назад

Great review. You go into a lot of detail. Apart from your review, the way car manufacturers are coming out with more complexity concerns me. There are more and more accidents on the roads these days, and a lot of them are due to driver discretion. A wise person would deal with all those complex settings before heading out on the road, but so many, I’m sure, would be fiddling with the panel while driving. Years ago, it was said, that people were concerned when radios were added to a car. They were worried that it would distract the driver. Have we come a long way in that regard.

What is battery type of this Kona? LFP, NMC or what?

@Joe-lb8qn 9 месяцев назад

I saw and sat in one of these (plug in but the same otherwise AFAIK) at fully charged earlier this year. It looked just like a shrunk Ionic 5 to me. I found the rear seat legroom disappointing.Much more disappointing is the price for the 64kWh version at £43k in the UK. You can buy a model 3 for just less than £40k with the same range and of course full access to the SC network, plus that will also save a fair bit in "luxury tax" over the years as well since that kicks in at £40k, essentialy an extra £2,000 over 5 years.

@1xXNimrodXx1 9 месяцев назад

Have fun with that model 3 shutting down in heavy rain due to battery getting water damaged. Tesla warranty is like Apple warranty when it comes to water damage, so save another 17k for a new 🔋because Tesla warranty will not cover it.

@cosmicpop 9 месяцев назад

We nearly bought an original Kona in 2021 but we found the boot space lacking, so we got the ID.3 instead which we love. However, I think this new Kona might've changed our minds if it were available. Though to be honest I think the ID.3 still looks pretty sharp whereas this new Kona looks a bit dumpy.

@taylorthrall7321 2 месяца назад

Good morning! Kona Ev charge faster than Niro E, right? Do you know if the battery is the same in both cars? I know the capacity it’s a just a bit bigger on the Kona Ev, but it is same chemical composition? Is it the Kona Ev Battery provided by German Company Webasto like the one on the Niro Ev? Just thinking if that is true… in the future the charge speed on the Kona Ev battery can be increase by a software upgrade. What is your opinion about that matter?

@verygoodbrother 9 месяцев назад

@@BatteryLife Majority accidents in a car park is from people reversing into other cars. i.e. reversing out of a parking spot. It's also for safety. If a crowd of people need to evacuate, you don't want them wasting time with reversing (provided you even get a space to do so in such a scenario). It's why all the places i've worked at MANDATE reverse parking in the car park.
