2024 Hyundai KONA Test Drive - the most comprehensive review on KONA yet

Күн бұрын

Test driving 2024 Hyundai KONA finally. It's been a little more than a month since I've spotted the pre-production models and reviewed all variants in: ICE, HEV including N-Line models and EV in my previous videos.
As you could probably tell from the length of this video - 38 minutes long - I had so many things to talk about, go over and truly enjoy the car to myself.
Trust me, I did my best to edit and trim this video down, the original videos were over 3 hours long 🤣
In this video, I did go over the second row seat and trunk size measurements which many of you are really curious about. I also did a lot of research, studied KONA - what's been upgraded, implemented, researched, embedded - things that you can't find out without having a data sheet and papers to back those up.
Find out all about them in this video!

I have watched several videos about the new Kona, but yours is THE BEST by far! I love this car and i am ready for ordering it.. Do you have an ETA about a test driving video of the hybrid one? Thanks!

@CarSceneKorea 11 ай бұрын

Thank you very much for your support and compliment! I will try my best to get my hands on the HEV model. It won't be much different from a regular model other than the mpg plus the initial torque from the motor on city drives.

@panagiotisbitos4391 11 ай бұрын

My main concern is how it will behave on highways. I mean for example, will the electric motor contribute in an overtaking with extra torque? Also it has a max speed of 165km/h, will it start to get difficult from 130-140? Since it is a heavier car than previous and it has 104hp (combustion engine only) comparing to 198hp of the 1.6T.

@CarSceneKorea 11 ай бұрын

I'd have to test drive to find those out for sure. However, Hyundai is constantly upgrading HEV logics to pump the best performance out of a vehicle (mostly mpg with hybrids in this case), and HEV also comes with what's called e-Ride, utilizing the motor to counter the pitching of a car going over a speed bump and necessary road conditions. The motor will constantly engage and disengage to use the power and charge the battery, I will definitely check those out when I have the chance to test drive the HEV.

Got my Kona 1.6 Hybrid delivered last monday in Ecotronic gray Pearl. The Hyundai dealer salesman first delivery of the new Kona. Very very comfortable and smooth ride! Despite the comfortable suspension very little body roll in corners. A lot roomier than the first Kona. Great job by Hyundai! And I think it looks superb. Off course this is subject to taste, but I got positive reponses from others so far.

@CarSceneKorea 10 ай бұрын

I agree with you 100% especially the body roll part 👀 Kona's slogan is actually "Nimble," and it sure is nimble on corners. I had great fun driving N-Line(the last generation though where it had different suspension and engine :P)

The fact that they increased the size to be more-or-less equal to the Xceed, but with a bigger boot makes it a very interesting option for my needs. And look at all the physical buttons! And not a centimeter of the dreaded piano black in the interior! Finally! Can't wait for the cars to arrive at Polish dealerships so I can try one out.

Can't wait to see the color and features for the North American (U.S.) market. My criticism of the size increase is this: The current Kona, 2023 and older, being smaller, looks and feels more sporty, like a slightly larger hot-hatch. The new design however looks and feels more like traditional SUV in size and look, which is ultimately confusing to me because Hyundai already offers the Tuscon, so the ideology for the Kona change leads me to think more changes to the SUV lineup is coming. I wanted the shorter, lower, sportier compact SUV with AWD for winter driving at an affordable price, and the Kona offers that currently. The 2024 refresh takes some of that away and some of my enthusiasm with it, so I'll have to see the 2024 Kona in person before I decide if I want to get one.

@JT-fq2bl Жыл бұрын

Hyundai increased the size of the Kona to better compete with the competition, to retain the customers who aren't able to afford a fully loaded Tucson, give size and price gap for the Venue (and future Ai3 city crossover).

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

Good points. I think I go over your thoughts later in the video around 34:15 I will let you decide and after seeing it for yourself, but what I can assure you is that this KONA is still much closer to the last KONA than it is to Tucson in every single way. It did get larger, but not by much(in terms of the physical car dimensions itself), but has larger interior/trunk. You may say that I'm contradicting myself here, but every inch counts when it comes to compact SUVs like KONA and that's why.

Greetings from Australia. Like you we drive a Seltos GTLine 1.6T DCT and look forward to testing the new Second Generation KONA NLine (a Red one!) in around June/July down here. We are impressed with the features that this new KONA provides for the driver both in comfort and vehicle performance. Particularly impressed with all other features, but particularly with the 64Gb SIM to capture recorded-image of a “dash cam” function with easily identified access dates and times. It appears that there is no spare provided which might need to be in the OZ version. We hope that they don't play around with the Australian suspension which, on the Seltos resulted in a rather heavy drive. We are waiting for your test drive of the NLine - is this still a probability soon? We enjoy your presentations and like you we are sad to see the departure of the Stinger which unfortunately didn't take off in our SUV environment.

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the insight and also watching my video. From now on, N-Line models only focus on cosmetic parts such as bodykit(bumpers), interior fabric(Alcantra, etc.), no performance related upgrades like they were in previous N-Lines thus far. Suspension, engine, all those remain the same. Having said the above, N-Line will most likely be applicable across all types and trims, a little bit doubtful on the EV though given the nature, but will soon find out. I will def review N-Line when possible.

Awesome DK!!! I realise this isn't the EV yet but much of it will be similar particularly for internal space, hope you did a rear seat check when the drivers seat is in a 6'+ driver is there. :) Is it a flat floor front and back or is there a transmission tunnel? Has a Ioniq 5 vib to the look for the side at least. Interesting there is so many buttons on the instrument cluster in the middle considering how few there are in the Ioniq 5. I like a few buttons but not sure about how many there is. Maybe the EV edition will be different. Interesting just a normal sunroof rather than a panoramic roof.

Love your reviews! What's the main difference between the limited and n line tech wise? Is it the cameras and 360 parking views?

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

N-Line focuses on more of an aesthetic aspect than performance, at least for KONA atm. Sonata still gets a bit diff engine & transmission.

No set info on BEV, but given this KONA was built as an EV first bottom up, the interior would look quite similar to ICE. I didn't have the chance to measure with the seats folded, sry 🥲

Hello I have a question for Hyundai Kona in Korea. Can 18 inch alloys be ordered as an option on petrol engine instead of 19 inch. Or 18 inch are just on Hybrid version.

@Lukdzwo Жыл бұрын

Does gasoline model have start stop and a button to disable it? Old version had it (at least in EU market). EDIT: Yes, there is on the left, next to the steering wheel.

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

As far as I recall, there is no ISG on this KONA. The steering wheel icon you see on the steering wheel is for LFA, Lane Following Assist: It supports by automatically operating steering wheel to drive in the center of the lane and LKA, Lane Keeping Assist. I will come back to this comment if I come across ISG on KONA, but I doubt it, never had the engine shutting off driving over 1,000km.

Once the brake pedal travels a little more do the brakes stop the car well? I have a 2020 tuscan and the brakes are a little weak.

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

There's no doubt about the braking performance itself. Just the input and way brake pedals respond have been changing gradually over generations within Hyundai cars. You'd feel the difference immediately once you drive a Hyundai that's about 2 or 3 generations older.

Does this sit high up like the Seltos? Or more lower like the Niro? Wish it had Harmon Kardon sound system like my Kia Soul. Sounds so much better with its spatial sound option. Wish it had a HUD love mine. I'm debating on a Niro Sportage and now the Kona HEV. Wish the Seltos had a HEV version as that is the perfect size small SUV that sits up higher.

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

Keen question. I'd say somewhere between the two precisely, but more closer if not same as Seltos for the seating position - I always lower the seat closest to the ground to keep it objective to the best I can. HUD might come with later year models.

@lightandglory6583 Жыл бұрын

3 things: Does the Kona have a spare tire? Can you turn off the auto stop function? Are those dashcams able to record and save accident occurrences? I currently own a 2022 Kona N Line and during the time I've owned it, many of the features you discuss are things I saw lacking in the current version. Definitely want a chance to own a 2024. I live in the US in Colorado.

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

KONA doesn't get a spare tire, it comes with a puncture kit like recent HMG cars. There's no ISG on KONA 1.6T(at least). Yes, dashcam records 100% during the drives, not sure how long it lasts with Parking alone, but does easily last overnight. I've had fair amount of time with previous gen KONA, these upgrades are indeed a charm.

@CarSceneKorea Жыл бұрын

I'd say it's worth the upgrade..! We didn't have the chance to test it out ourselves yet bc Hyundai is just starting, but that 33 points via OTA will definitely be something too!

Edit. this guy answers our question and the answer is yes kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oqp1armFltyRk4U.html I wouldn't like to be the BMW driver who had to leave his car on a jack at side of the road while he got his tire replaced. As for start stop my next car will probably be a hybrid to avoid that. On my VW it is more like Stop don't Start. It should have a warning chime to remind you to turn it off 🙂

A great review. I look forward to seeing the car in the metal and having a test drive to asses noise etc. One thing you didn't cover was whether there is space for a spare wheel? The first generation Kia Niro definitely did. In fact that car ticked so many boxes I went and test drove one but was disappointed by the amount of noise and vibration compared to my VW Golf (no longer available with physical buttons).

Hyundai precisely mentioned that they've worked very hard with NVH on this KONA. As for the spare tires, Hyundai Motor Group has replaced them with fix-a-flat kit for some time now, including this KONA.
