  • Today on Buckle Up, Jasper reviews the all-new 2024 Hyundai Kona HEV! With striking new styling, a larger footprint and updated interior, does the Kona have what it takes in the busy family crossover segment?
    Up against cars such as the Honda HR-V, VW T-Roc, Jeep Renegade, MG ZS, Skoda Kamiq, Seat Arona, Dacia Duster, Nissan Juke, Toyota Yaris Cross, Renault Captur, Ford Puma, Peugeot 2008, Vauxhall Mokka, Citroen C3 Aircross, Fiat 600, Audi Q2, Mini Countryman and the Suzuki Vitara can the Kona keep up?

    A Great Review overall. I liked it a lot especially the fact that you are doing a very detailed presentation of the cars reviewed. After that "i am following" you ... Keep up the good reviews. You are helping a lot..

    In Australia the N-line gets a secondary contrast spoiler and we get a compact spare and jack in all trims.

      The puma is the best selling car in the segment, it becomes the defacto one to beat

    The lower light position at the back is reminiscent of a PT cruiser! But overall styling looks great.

      That's probably the only similarity I'd be able to draw between the styling of the two cars 😅

    • @BuckleUpShow
      @BuckleUpShow  2 місяці тому

      We've not had a Puma on the channel yet for a full review, but that should be a bit more fun to drive as it's slightly smaller. You can get the Kona with a 1.6 turbo 4-pot though which makes it pretty lively!

    Troc feels more plush and imo has a better exterior design. Besides that kona wins on pretty much every aspect.

    • @BuckleUpShow
      @BuckleUpShow  3 місяці тому

      The T-Roc definitely has safer, more conventional, styling. If that floats your boat, there's not much argument, but you definitely can't deny the amount of kit you get as standard on the Kona is impressive!

    Commentator says the lights are nicely positioned. Eh? They're positioned at the extremities of the car, they replace the bumpers ! Looks to be an incredibly stupid position to me. Does any other manufacturer position their lights there?
    Certainly wouldn't want to park a Kona in your average UK supermarket car park. If I were Tesco, I'd start stocking up Kona front and rear light units. 😃

    • @BuckleUpShow

      Most people are able to park their car in Tesco’s without crashing into things. That sounds like a ‘you’ issue.
