2024 Hyundai Kona Review

YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 13/09/2023

I picked up my AWD black on black Limited, I was happy to pay $35k plus tax for it! Great review!

Test drove this the other day, a huge step up from the previous model. The n line package looks infinitely better than the base model aesthetic though. The only disappointing thing is there is no ‘N’ variant like the old Kona had.

I like the video I just did a review of the all eletric Hyundai IONIQ and it seems a little plain Jain to me

Why is there no H on the wheel…

If they brought the '24 Kona Hybrid - I'd get that in a heart beat... Looove the design and interior + features AND finding out it comes in Hyundai's Denium Blue Metalic- I'm obsessed - just wish they were confirmed bringing the Hybrid to the US ;-;

Hyundai is winning in the sub compact Suv. This Kona is beautiful.

Picking mine up in 2 days (N Line)
What do you mean wireless android auto is an available upgrade coming soon? Does that mean I would miss getting it because I'm getting the Kona N line too soon?

Where is the Forte GT 2024?

Who is this lovely lady? She's all types of cute and definitely doesn't skip leg day 😍

auf alle fälle besser, als der yaris cross...

ich bleibe bei hyundai ❤

That black cladding is butt ugly !!

Black body plastic. Don't be fooled. It's just ANOTHER way of cost cutting. Way CHEAPER that painted body panels, and serve NO purpose!

I’d like to test drive her

The inside is very nice but I wish they didn't do the crazy molding/cladding around the tires. 😩

Looking forward to leasing my 3rd Kona next year!! I had a 2019 Limited, now driving a 2022 Limited Kona, and would lease the Limited model again. This time, I may even spring for AWD. As I am watching several Kona videos, the new look is growing on me. Those Cylon eyes on the front and back of the Kona (Battlestar Gallactica, for those who didn't catch the reference) is unique. I fell in love with my 2019 Kona back in the day because I love driving unique. I still like unique, but I cannot afford Ioniq. See what I did there? Anyway, this is the best video so far on the new Kona and I always use Car Gurus online for research. Looking at other subcompact SUV too -- again, lease is up next year, so a 2025 model year for me -- and by then, maybe a hybrid will be on the Kona horizon in the U.S.?

Man they just keep getting uglier. It's just styling for styling sake

Just bought a red Limited last week. Great so far!

She said “ fit 8 people AND 3 large dogs” 🤣🤣🤣

So it looks like the Kona is now around the same size as the current Tucson, will the next gen Tucson increase in size as well?

They would have to put a suv in stilts to be at 'eyelevel' with a semi on I-95

just bought a new one recently and very unhappy with it. Main thing is the speed limit system doesnt work well and is constantly beeping. It uses road signs which are infrequent.. and it misses them.. cant turn it off permanently either.. so get used to annoying beeping

Thank you so much for mentioning the lag when speeding up!! Was looking for this info

The Bose audio system Is a downgrade. Always been too colored.

Those are some bad gas mileage for such a small car

It’s frustrating that Europe and Asia get this in a hybrid and we don’t. While I can’t get an EV (I’m an apartment dweller), I won’t ever go to a fully gasoline engine again. This removes the Kona from my list. The Corolla Cross is still King.

What is the promo for this month? This is a nice car.

The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE (AWD) maxes out at $35K (after taxes), and when I spec out the Kona (AWD) it’s about the same. You’re getting more car and style for the same amount, so I think it’s extremely competitive. Just have to see how reliable it it though….

Question: did you find the shift lever pretty intuitive?

Swed upholstery. Would that be for vegans?

Rented one about 6 months ago, had 27 miles on it. We were the first drivers.

It was the absolute worst driving experience ever. Acceleration and shifting are miserable, like the transmission is guarded to prevent fast take-offs and freewheeling. The handling was sluggiah and heavy. It wasn't sporty or fun. It was a drag... boring, uninspired, and way too computerized. It felt like the car was trying to drive me, instead of the other way around.

Plus, they're ugly.

Hard pass. Not sure who this is for. Too small for a family with kids, not sporty enough for a young couple on the go, too big to be a commuter, so it ends up being just a medium-sized waste.

wife material for sure

americans are broke wont sell

Great car ruined by 'Nanny' electronic warning systems and beeps, when are the car makers going to fix this with a single switch? Japanese make better engines as well...overpriced Korean...great review though. Thanks!!

Watching from Cumbria Britain and love what you termed narrow. Pretty much a dual carriageway here 😂. Informative and useful review 🙌

Just got mine a week ago. basic model. This is a nice car, great interior. A lot of great feature included .
PRO: A LOT!! of space for driving. If you are tall or overweight, this is a great car for you.
PRO: Many included feature, remote with bluelink (but having issue with mine right now).
PRO: Price is very nice for a SUV.

CONS: Car panels feel like they are thin.
CONS: Noisy car hear the exterior easily.
CONS: Sound System. Feels a bit like no bass in the car even with equalizer modified.

There is a lag, indeed, but this is a basic car, I don't intent to go from 0 to 60 in 3 secs either...

You’re supposed to keep your hands on the steering wheel anyway

Wonder what the lag looks like on the two base cars without the turbo

My 2019 kona cabin noise while driving is atrocious. How is the new model?

Who is this presenter?

Why would you buy a Kona if you can afford the multimillion dollar estate in the background???

Hyundai makes bad quality.

alter ich suche nach dem spiel kona und nicht nach ein drecks auto was kona heißt die karre interesiert mich wie die letzte wasserstandsmeldung nämlich überhaupt nicht

This is one of my two dream cars.

review 2025 Kona please and compare anything difference.

how tall is she?

My review of my Kona.

You may be wondering why one star, let me tell you a quick story.
I buy a Hyundai Kona, 30,000 miles later, Kona engine blows up, 2 months go by, engine fixed, have vehicle for one week, engine blows up again. Still under warranty, vehicle gets fixed AFTER 5 MONTHS LATER. They were nice enough to give me a loaner, I still can drive around, and go places. The same day they fix the vehicle, I get a phone call at 5:40 PM saying they need the vehicle back the next day. Less than 24 hour notice, my whole family is sick, they need the vehicle, no budging, no sorry, no nothing. I talked to a girl that works there, attitude, no remorse, just telling me the same thing repeatedly. I ask for a phone number or a higher manager, nope. CUSTOMER SERVICE used to mean something, not any more. Hyundai, you were doing so well, but you couldn't do the simplest of tasks. You couldn't make my life easier by just waiting until Tuesday when you open back up like I asked?

The audacity to demand the loaner vehicle back within 12 hrs, after the fact it took 7 months to fix my vehicle (that probably is still broken) and the GM to hear my complaints and say "OK" is why I will never buy a junker from Hyundai ever again.

Just got my 2024 hyundai kona hybrid, love it!!

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this crossover here in Canada heated seats and steering wheel comes standard across all models
