This video is very informative and very helpful and hitting 1000 miles is the "sweet spot" in this kind of vehicle. Love this!

Awesome review dude, just earned a new sub! I’m picking up my Kona N on Saturday and am hyped!

Thank you so much for this! Thanks for going in-depth vid 😊

Hell yeah man, keep it up. Not many Kona n youtubers out there. 🤙🏽

I'm just about to swap my Touareg your review was very helpful in making up my mind!Cheers Brian 👍

im a little late to the party here but, i love seeing some different POVs on the Kona N, ive been LOVING mine. i do miss the moonroof from my elantra n-line, all my cars have had one and this being the first care ive owned that doesnt has been strange to me. all around though, 0 regrets getting the Kona N, its one hell of a vehicle

I own their fully-loaded Kona Limited and absolutely love it!

My wife and I are renting a Kona this week to drive from Ohio to Ocean City, MD -- and the instrument cluster settings are amazing (not that we intend to change many of them or even use a few of them). But we appreciate your comments on the drive-ability of the Kona N. Wish us luck!

Great review mate. Thanks for talking about the long-ish term of owning one daily, other reviews fail there. Any reviews coming up on practicality around passengers in the back and/or grocery runs, or weekend getaways? Keen to hear thoughts on space/storage.

Dual climate I ended up using on my IS250 for keeping my iPhone cool as it charged on the MagSafe puck bracket I added. I’ve noticed my batteries stay healthy longer after doing this when you check it in settings! Apple CarPlay makes up for it on the Kona N a little because my phone won’t be mounted where the sun hits it but I would have preferred it had dual zone. My biggest want would have been AWD. If they make a full electric AWD N version, o man that low center of gravity weight on the battery pack would let you keep the nice clearance without any downside! The extra room inside if they design it right. The instant torque…. I want this compact beast in EV!

Congrats man! Not many drive the Kona N which is too bad as this is a great CUV that makes pops and bangs!

Awesome car best value. Looking to get one eventually

Nice review! Yeah, I'm getting around 18 mpg right now in my Veloster N DCT lol, but that's most city driving and 90% of the time I drive in Sport mode. When I am on the highway, I can get close to 30 mpg just cruising on Normal or Eco.

Soooooo :) I just bought i30N fastback.. Amazing car :)

I’m currently in a 21 civic hatch and been looking to get a kona n and I think you might’ve sold me brotha 🥳

Nice review.

Have 1640 miles on my 2022 Kona N Line. Loved driving it every mile. All my driving so far has been city driving on a daily basis. First road trip will be to the Oregon coast in September.

In Europe, we get one trim with Kona N. In addidion, it gives you vented seats, heated stearing wheel and heads up display (it hides and comes out with a push of a button). And that drive wheel knob thing also let's you select a type of terrain (snow, deep snow, mud and sand) just in case....

I daily it. Love it.

Great review. I ordered a N Premium in February. Still waiting for it to be delivered :-(

Cool music n graphics

Someone said this car looks like two cars stacked on top of each other. At first I didn’t see it when I test drove it, but the angle at 0:09… it can’t be unseen.

Awesome review! You did hit some points that others haven’t and I’m glad to see this from a perspective of a normal person. I keep hearing “the car is so stiff” from reviewers, but these people also drive $100k luxury cars regularly. So you think comfort wise it’s similar to the Civic? I want a new car and currently have a 2005 CRV. I can’t imagine the Kona N could be worse than that comfort wise. I really gotta test drive one…

Thanks! I'm really on the fence about getting the Elantra N or the Kona N, but if I move back to Cincinnati, I think the Kona N is the smarter buy.

Ur name is actually perfect. If you want to stay with the N line you can but when your channel grows, you can completely leave Hyundai and your name is still very fitting

Thanks for the video. Did you find another set of rims that would fit this to run the winter tires?

Nice review. Can you put 18" wheels on this one? And will you be doing 18s for winter if so?

Are you tuning it with sxth tune? Or atleast a downpipe, engine mount or catback?

Hi liked your review had my kona n for 1 month only issue I would like your comment on is the suspension on driving I can’t tell any difference in the three suspension settings they all feel the same is this normal or should you be able to feel the changes thanks rod

Thanks for the review. Do you know if it has a tow hitch (option)? And what the towing capacity is?

Those wheels might look nice on my Veloster N. My Veloster N is my DD, had it for over two years and I love it. No issues whatsoever with my VN. Flawless car for me. I live in Pennsylvania so I do have a second set of rims / tires. I use 18" Rial rims with Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons as my non-summer tire. BTW, I can get 30+ mpg and I usually drive in Sport or Normal. Eco....yuck, This is an N car!

Is there soft suspension option? Good enough for new born child in child seat? Does it have hooks for car seat in back seats? Thanks

Strong A/C? I live in Eastern Wa. We get up to 115 degreees in the summer, and MANY days above 90.

Waiting for the 2023 model to see if they will change the dash layout like the one from the Elantra N.

Yes you can im on the 5000, and driving normal i do 7.5/8L and driving eco 6.5L

nice review, will i have wireless carplay or just wired carplay?

the dealer is killing this car

Can I disable the collision distance or whatever it is? I got mine last week and it's nothing but blessings 🙏. Couldn't be happier as you said. Dude it pops legally that's enough 4 me.

When you drive in normal mode,how's the gear changes? The gear changes from 1st to 8th quickly?

Does the mph change to km on the speedometer.....I mean can u change it to km instead of mph

Just curious. When you drive in standard or eco, what's your fuel average?

Sick vehicle, but that MPG is pretty painful for a turbo 4 banger. My Type R gets around 25 MPG and has quite a bit more horsepower...

It doesn't hurt to read the user manual prior start driving the car and how to drive it in the first 1000km. Then you will be not so surprised from the consumption.

Update: Simmons Hyundai in Elmira, NY had two in stock, I bought one a little below MSRP. They have one left (red) in case anyone was looking!

So what is your second downside? You said that you mostly drive in Eco mode and that you got decent gas mileage. 1.) Tires 2.) ?

They need to make those AWD and kill the competition

Umm good video

still tossing up between this and SQ2/T-Roc R or GLA45 i like crossover concept because roads in my area are F'd

How is the ride in its softest settings on average roads?

Do you have full screen in reverse?

They are nice but would be nice if they offered awd. I live very north in Canada our winters are brutal u need awd to get around in winter.

What about 1st gear not going into 2nd gear faster

What octane does that beast require as a daily driver?

Does it require premium fuel?

how does an 8 speed 2.0 get 27mpg highway wtf

note: this is US gallons not UK (the original gallon)

I hate the instrument cluster so much!

I don’t understand that question why wouldn’t you drive it daily it doesn’t have any other purpose does it

I hate the AC vent location

If I didn’t need 4wd I would have one

No dual climate, no sunroof and that heinous plastic interior are a deal breaker.

Way to harsh and road noise is ridiculous. Get the sedan way better daily

All that electronic garbage will fail. If it has the radar cruise thats a minus. The styling is a minus.... Thanks for the review but this is not for me.
