    Looks a nice car and buttons which I prefer. Might have a nosey at one. Good review.

    Some markets get an HTRAC version of the Kona 1.6, including Cyprus and Australia which are RHD markets. I wish we got the HTRAC version in the UK.

      Every gram counts when it comes to fleet emissions though and an AWD system does make a difference, I do wish we got it here too

      Sure... That's why they only make hybrid versions of all their cars barring the i10 & i20 😅

    No you “experts”!
    Most cars DO NOT READ speed signs!
    They simply use the stored GPS map data to display the max speed!
    That means that, it is not instantaneous, nor factual (found many secondary roads where cars suggest a lower max mph that POSTED!

      Congratulations on being so confidently wrong, you might want to Google a technology called "traffic sign recognition" 🤦🏼‍♂️
