DRIVEN: 2024 Hyundai Kona | More Space, More Tech, More Style | Driving Impressions & More!

What about the Kona N???

Wow….just priced one out and it’s $33k. I assume the ev will be more. I would just get a Tesla model 3 instead.

I hate white seats.

Hard pass

When will someone start objectively reviewing these things instead of a sponsored promotion. I mean I know they aren’t, but the way reviewers talk about these cars are as if they are the best cars around. I test drove a newer Sorento and I wasn’t all that impressed.

That sucks, I have 153000 on my 7spd DCT Kona, not an issue and the DCT makes it more engaging. Hope they get to 300hp on the Kona N if it's that much bigger.

I think the Hybrid and the EV models will be the best one to buy.

N-line. The abomination trim level when you can’t afford the full N.

It appears the best way to purchase a Kona is a low mileage Pre-owned that is certified and has factory warranty. Considering the issues owners report. Many customers are finding major forward collision avoidance problems, and severe powertrain issues.

Veloster EV for the people, please!

I'm getting a 2024 Kona in this trim, color, and interior color. Test driving one tomorrow, but not the actual car I'm getting.

Its easy, so don't be silly, just to attract click bait

As the owner of a '21 Kona, I would gladly trade several miles of gas mileage for the new model's extra rear-seat leg room and cargo space. A bigger issue for me is the CVT with the new model's base engine; I'm surprised you overlooked this.

A beautiful vehicle that is very practical and high-tech.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video, the entry model starts at $26000 Canada funds

They better bleeping make the EV in sage green.

Opening sequence is a cheapshot.

Bro that intro was terrible, make you look like stupid really.

basically they made a new Tucan. This is too much for a econobox and gotta have 30+ mpg. No go for me

Next year. Saving

Sometimes when a car is brand new it takes a bit for it to settle in so any new car I got the fuel economy got better after the engine got broken in, no one wants to follow the recommended “break in” of the engine.

I’ve bought one and I just love it ❤❤

Interesting if they discount significantly off MSRP, as otherwise with the poor fuel economy on the turbo its not going to be very cheap to own for a subcompact.

that intro 😬

Just wondering did you say 2.0 has 147 vs 1.6 197 and it less horsepower than a 2.0 by 5 hp? Where did you get that?

It’s a hatchback not a SUV

Looks like I got bigger and more ground clearance

I bought a 2024 Kona SE for $25k and it is almost as loaded as this! No heated seats, power tailgate or sunroof, but most everything else! I love my Soultronic Orange paint too! Fun car for a sporty 62 year old! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Hyundai made the perfect car. The exterior, interior, functionality, power, mpg, tech for the price is perfect

The 'Ultimate Feed' Mansion...next model?

More modern more tech yet they removed the head up display the previous model had

Bought the SEL with convenience package, this color, then gifted my ‘97 Civic Ex to one of my mechanics. And still have my 2003 Envoy. I am 5’10 (plenty of room) and had rented a 2023 Kona while deployed for work. They took $1k off of the MSRP, financed at 3.99% for 2 years, and I put $17k down. Since I’m gone months at a time for work, it probably won’t hit 5,000 miles a year. So far, I have no complaints. 🙂

Clown

Nice but ugly car

The ICE Kona models get less mpg but that is probably due to the fact that the body style was first designed as an EV, and then they said, "OK, let's just place the old engines under the hood too". Well, maybe they didn't say it in those words, but I cannot afford an EV yet and mpg doesn't matter to me when I drive under 5000 miles a year! You can tell by the EV first design that there's no Frunk in the EV so Hyundai knew what they were doing. At least the Kona comes with a spare tire, unlike the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrids!!

Great review! You did miss that the back seats recline. It’s up by the seat belt at the top. Not a huge recline but it’s nice

is this color a light jade. iam looking for a nice green color. like jade sea

I want to see the autonomous driving that’s what I wanna see I don’t care about the back I don’t care about the seats. I care that it has collision avoidance, I care that it keeps me in the lane if all of a sudden something spills and I’ve got to pick it up, I care what it does automatically drive and break for me in a stressful traffic situation in San Antonio. I want to know if it collision avoidance can actually help me from a collision in two hours worth of traffic will it help me advance without hitting the car in front of me whil
I look back to change lanes in less than finished construction 🦺 narrow lanes with almost no space to get on in on coming crazy traffic I want to know that. That’s what’s important now. Safety sensors auto collision avoidance

if uv clicked the “newest” button to find this, like💀

Just picked mine up im obsessed with this car

I just leased a Kona SEL in Mirage Green wit h light grey interior. I LOVE this suv!!!!

The New Kona is about the Same Size as the 2019 plus Sportage! The 2024 2025 Kia Sportage moved up in Size.

Does the new Kona offer enough to justify its more expensive price tag? Let us know in the comments!
