Amazing car and despite being on a newer platform nad having more goodies its still around 1-2k cheaper than a i30N Facelift. How do you think the Kona N stacks up to the Facelift i30N or Facelift VN (in terms of handling, body roll, etc)?

@CarSceneKorea 2 жыл бұрын

There's been some track reviews with Kona N to Elantra N (Fastest N in the family thus far), and Kona N stood up against EN very well. Given this still is an SUV, overall performance is absolutely amazing, there definitely is more roll given this is an SUV, yet the car somehow maneuvers like a beefy sedan, yet still fast on corners and doesn't give me that odd feeling of car struggling. All in all, this is truly an N. Korea doesn't get i30N, so can't give you the personal feedback on that, but comparing it to Veloster N, Kona N also gives that crisp feeling around turns with short wheelbase as well. However, Kona N is still an SUV, so the hatchback cars like VN, i30N are more "fun," but Kona N will just do about the same, and the tradeoff you get is huge - the sacrifice you make on the "feeling" is rewarded by the car being an SUV by a LOT.

You know, I have N light bucket seats on my VN, and it uses identical base frame as that of a regular seat(which is the same on Kona N as well). If you measure the seating position(height), there's a marginal difference bw a regular to N light bucket seats - you can find this in my early VN videos.

The car is fairly quite under 70 mph especially in normal. I traded a stinger gt2 awd with over 400 hp and tq. I do miss all the amenities but the Kona N is much better car if you really enjoy driving slow or fast. I do not think the car is too stiff either in N. But i live outside atl with relatively smooth roads. I also have an x3m comp which some wrongfully think is too stiff. I like planted cars that follow the road and do not wallo. I find i love my kona n as much as one of the best cars you can buy and its half the price!

Can the Kona N and Veloster N run on regular fuel 87-89 octane or does it require premium higher octane fuel? Some competitors like VW GTI and the Golf R will need premium fuel to run properly.

@CarSceneKorea 3 жыл бұрын

It does require premium unleaded, but there are tons of ppl that run on a regular gas, and honestly, if it is just a yes/no question, so many are running their cars w/o problem thus far here in Korea

@ClubZlut 3 жыл бұрын

Octane regulations here in the US aren't the same as those in Korea as far as what they can sell at a pump and call it. As a general rule if you want to not have any concerns with a KDM turbo engine in the States, run the highest octane you can. I had 2 Genesis Coupes and now a Stinger GT. Every one recommended the highest octane. You *could* run regular but why if you're losing out on the cars full potential?

@arthurmroyce 3 жыл бұрын

I have a 2020 Veloster N. I will run on anything from 87 up. It simply pulls timing for the lower octanes. No harm and really the "performance loss" is pretty small. You will not notice anything for daily driving. I have a 2011 Genesis Coupe 2.0T that I run 87 octane in and it has over 133k miles and runs likes a top. I generally put 93 octane in at Costco. It is not worth it at regular gas station. Here in Pennsylvania the normal gas brands charge 60 to 80 cents more per gallon between 87 and 93. The mileage and performance difference is small. If you go on the forums people will state if you put regular in it the car will explode and take out seven square blocks. No such luck!
