2024 Hyundai Kona Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- There are a lot of pretty good small crossovers on the market these days, and the Hyundai Kona has always been one of them. But now it's back with an all-new generation, and it's trying to make the leap from pretty good to great. The problem is there's a lot of competition. Rivals range from the Volkswagen Taos and Mazda CX-30 on the high end, to the Chevrolet Trax on the affordable end. Even the Kona's own cousin, the Kia Seltos, is in the mix. So let's dive into the Kona and find out if it's made the jump from pretty good to must have.

The N-Line and Limited trims get 8.3” of ground clearance. It compares to the Subaru Crosstrek and is class-leading. The engine does have some turbo lag, but it’s perfectly peppy for someone doing normal driving. It’s not a race track vehicle and it was never meant to be. People need to stop expecting that from vehicles that are built to be commuter cars.
Just bought this today- looking forward to it after watching this review 😊
I drive the 2024 and I love it the vehicle to have .I love it
FYI... The front wheel drive version has 6.9 inches of ground clearance but the awd version you have there has 8.3 inches.
Just bought one today and I’m excited to see how it works for me as a rideshare driver. The leg room for backseat passengers and the room for luggage is awesome.
10:09 the tires are just looking that they are sliding not rolling
The four dots on the wheel is actually "H" in Morse code
unfortunately, making it wider means it will be a tight fit in our older garage and the small ground clearance is the main reason I sold my civic. I HATED scraping anything with it, but it was unavoidable living in a city. I was ready to buy a new Kona this week but guess I’ll keep looking!
Hello, do you know what size is the spare tire and the center bore size? In Canada all trim doesn’t have spare tire. Maybe you know where I could find one?
They destroyed it!! My 2022 Limited AWD has plenty of power and s setting is fantastic, I love the DCT!!! Now it has been ruined!!! Thank you for your honest review.
There's difficulty driving the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o clock. For the most part, had to drive at 10 and 2 o clock position.
Isn't the Niro the cousin to the Kona not the Seltos?
Great question 🤔
It is..
NO, Seltos is the KIA equivalent, but only comes in ICE version; the Niro is considered a "hatchback sedan", even though its longer than Kona. Also, only Niro has PHEV option, which CR rates highest over all versions!
I have the base model because I don't see any value in spending extra money on silly extras ... not a problem so far at 15,000 ks here in Australia gutless but like they say " doesn't have to be good just good enough"
I bought yesterday 2024 Kona AWD. But i feel like "Stering having heavy vibration" while driving in highway any speed between 40 and 70. Is it Normal?
Does that sound normal?
Its not normal I have the 1.6 Turbo front wheel drive. 0 vibration at all speeds. Plus you have a 2024 everything should be perfect by definition
That’s Hyundai quality for you! 👍
For the price, it is just better to get a Mid SUV, like the Santa Fe or Tucson
I guess Hyundai doesn’t really want to sell many of these things cuz the exterior styling is horrendous.
Cybertruck
Naaa, this the “luxury” one of the group.
Buy a used 4 runner for same price and it will last you 30 years.
Looking into the EV version, unless I get the KIA Niro PHEV instead. Or, I'll get the Limited AWD ICE version, which would be my 3rd Kona Limited ICE crossover since 2019. Was also considering a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE... BUT the inside is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bland, and the Toyota dealerships are CROOKS! Because it's a Toyota, they all feel that they can sell at or above MSRP (nobody will sell under) and they force you to take overpriced add-ons because "they can".
When you buy a corolla, you buy simplistic, so everything is cheap to fix. Impreza has $2000 bezels, you will never see this. If you want something premium you have to go to lexus. People buy toyota for cost to fix, cost to insure and cost to own as cheap as it is. Less is better, simplistic and functional. This is why my Rav4 is 17 yrs old
@@bjsimon802 Turns out that since I posted this, I wound up getting a 2023 KIA Niro EV Wave trim for less than Toyota! As a leased EV, I have won the lottery!! All the tax breaks and no worries about batteries. Home charger goes in shortly. Very happy with the EV.
@@Steve_in_NJ very cool, congrats
Transmission sucks
