Great and accurate review! I've watched at least 20 reviews on the 2022 Kona N Line and this is by far the best. I actually own the 2022 Kona N Line, minus the tech package, and except for the larger screen that comes with the $2500 tech package, I don't feel I'm missing out on anything. Also, I'm a serious audiofile and am very picky about sound systems. This is a very good and above average system, even without the Harmon Kardon speakers. The sound is far better than I would have expected in this price range. I don't care about the sunroof, heated steering wheel, etc, that come with the $2500 tech package. I enjoy this car and appreciate the accuracy in this honest review.
No, it doesn't drive like any other Kona. Only the N-line and Limited trims get the turbocharged 195-hp engines. The lower trims get the 145-hp engine.
Wanna-be??? I bought the N-Line so that I would not miss out on the power sunroof, selectable auto-cruise (autonomous driving, level 2.5), collision-avoidance radar front and rear, all-season tires on 18-inch alloy wheels and other stuff I can't even think of right now. And of course the things you would already expect to see in any "N"-badged version: turbo, dual-clutch tranny (NOT under any recall), sport mode, premium auto climate control, heated seats, and Harmon-Kardon stereo. No N-only for me. I want my ride to be *equipped*, not *stripped*.
Nice review. All I would say is if you want to get your numbers up and be more mainstream, your delivery and speaking style needs to be toned down a bit. It should feel more natural. A lot of the time it felt as if you were talking to your 90 yo grandpa and he was partially deaf. Smooth it out like you’re taking to your best bud and your reviews will feel more cool and fluid. Good luck.
Nope. Then he’ll end up like all these other car UA-camrs that I can’t understand wtf he’s talking about, stupid needless jokes and noises, and an all over the place mess. Let the dude in blue, the geese guy, bearclaw media do their thing, this guy is doing great as is. I’m here for information and an opinion, not a friend. He’s clear, articulate, all the reviews have a flow and format.
@@slow_rednline4874 that’s my point, it doesn’t sound natural. It sounds like he’s trying too hard. It’s just constructive criticism. Breathe bruh, it’s not that serious.

It's got a complete Harmon Kardon premium audio system, not just their speakers.
Just saying...
.
Like the new look
Outstanding sir.
Thanks for watching, Nicholas von rhine!
Great 👍🏽 review
The 2023 Kona N Line’s I’m seeing here in Florida don’t have led headlights or tail lights. I wonder why…
My Florida-bought N-Line sure does have LED headlights & taillights.

This guy should sell cars
👍 👍 👍
A wanna be Kona N.
I mean some people don't want all that

@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree - Exactly. The N-Line Kona is feature-rich.
Some would rather settle for the Kona N-only instead.

Excellent review junk car
I love mine..one man's trash is another's treasure 👍🏾
Some reviews say the transmission is rather jerky. Have you experienced that? Any issues with your Kona? Thanks.
