Today, the 2022 Suzuki Vitara Turbo (FWD) was also previewed..It was timed at 8.22secs (0-100KPH)!! The AWD Vitara takes a further .40 secs to same speed and does the quarter mile in 16.32secs. I wouldn't be happy having forked out 45k for the Kona and the P-Plater in the Vitara smokes me at the lights every time! Just saying...
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t or drive have test a few vitaras in turbo and na the 22 Vitara has the eng transmission as the previous so wouldn't expect any change in the 0 100
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t well for one, the Kona is labelled as a 'small hot hatch SUV' whereas the Vitara is a small SUV. Still, going to get beaten every time!
I just bought an i30 N line Hatch and I’ve driven both sedan and hatch version and the same Engine and DCT work much better in those cars, not to sure what they did differently here but the performance is clearly not as aggressive
It's not detuned at all, it's up 20 hp from the previous 1.6. But the fact none of those who owned one had a clue it rates higher in HP than factory rating. Dyno on the old 1.6 t 193 whp, no tuning all stock. So 195 will most likely be over 200 plus. These are tunable engines.
@@davidcosgrove2625 for the old Kona. I'm talking about the engine that's 150kW/265Nm in i30 N Line / Cerato GT etc. And I'm talking about factory, not Dyno which 95% of people won't do. Sheesh.
Yes, we were wondering the same thing. It seems the latest DCT calibration doesn’t really allow a quick/abrupt take off. Once it is off the line it feels much quicker than the time suggests. Hope that helps.
Weird, isn’t this almost the same engine as a Cerato GT? But it’s about 2 seconds slower? The Kona is a bit heavier, but that’s quite a noticeable difference.
Yes, we tried really hard to find quicker times with this one (ran about 7 different tests with the Vbox). But the transmission just doesn't cater for swift initial take-offs. It's obviously very quick through the gears, though. If it had launch control like the Sonata N Line, or if the transmission calibration was a bit more abrupt (like in the Kia), we have no doubt it could dip into 6.5-6.8 region.
@@PDriveTV I guess they’re trying to provide a decent enough gap between the N-Line and the N, so customers are more inclined to go higher up the range, even though this car could be faster. Cheeky!
@@PDriveTV Yeah that’s a fair point. I guess if people see on paper though that this does 0-100 in 6.5, and the N does 0-100 in 5.5, I think the majority would feel as though 6.5 is enough juice!
@@beardedbiker I think you may have just hit the nail on the head. I have an '18 Kona DCT Turbo with only the 130kw version. I consistently hit 4.6-4.8 60-110km/h runs and low 7secs for 0-100km/h.
@@PDriveTV shit in italy we have so much taxes... i'd like try that engine on a Kona, but i will not buy for a C segment. I have I20 N, a perfect car, i'm in love with her =)
Exciting stuff starts at 2:30

How is doing the same 0-100 time “smoking” someone? 0.3 secs is practically nothing.
Further, pdrive has not tested the 2022 Vitara Turbo
Cry baby

This specyfic car was broken? Almost 1s slower. Maybe you did not press acceleration pedal full?
remember guys its N line, not a kona n
yep , my kona N does just under 6 secs, would smoke a N line with ease ,there still a nice car though
Those gear shifts are pretty slow for a dual-clutch
I think so very slow than old version dual-clutch
Setup for economics on fuel a distance second for sport.

146kW? What is up with Hyundai. They appear to be de-tuning the 1.6 turbo engine.
New Tucson turbo only has 13x kW down from the usual 150kW

Normaly the Kona 1.6 199 HP does the 0-100 in 7.5 sec. I don't know how you do it in 1 sec slower

For some reason I expected that car to have some kind of exhaust note 🤔
Love my Kona N-line, but absolutely is the worst part about it, closely followed by the absence of paddle shifters.
I’ll like you to test the new M5 Cs if you have that available that car is amazing
Request noted. We'll see what we can do!
Ok cool but these videos are very good well done
Also I’m from Victoria in Australia is this filmed in the outback Victoria or nsw
Less then Vitara 1.4????
How many revs at cruising 130kmh
@南川あさかチャンネル thats too much
are you sure 200 hp? i know the 120 and the 160 hp engines... after those we arrive till the N version 280 cv... so i'm confused. ok btw thanks
Yes, in Australia the Kona N Line 1.6 turbo produces 146kW (199PS/196hp). Hope that helps :)
@@PDriveTV shit in italy we have so much taxes... i'd like try that engine on a Kona, but i will not buy for a C segment. I have I20 N, a perfect car, i'm in love with her =)
how about isuzu dmax 1.9?
Thanks for the upload
No worries :) Any other cars you'd like to see us test?
8.52 is pretty weak tbh.... The Kona EV would demolish this "sporty" Kona
EV test coming soon :)
haha weak? test drive it, it's no weak by any means lmao.
Not impressive at all! However the 2.0 turbo is quite exciting
It's a 1.6T
@@robertceroli3512 2.0 T Kona N 280 hp
Please check out Chevrolet Malibu 2.0 turbo.
Not available in Australia. Sorry we can’t help.
Okay thank you 😊
J’ai crèmè
These 3D screens are so ugly. Keep it old school
Slow and expensive and small
Mazda CX5 with the bigger 2.5 na or any other suv with those power outputs are around that 40k mark unless it's Chinese
@@robertceroli3512 you can’t compare a Cx-5 to this slightly jacked up jazz.
Mazda 2.5 only achieves 250 with Premium fuel only and in no way is tunable, no one tunes the Mazda
Man this car is slow..
Why bother...

What, ugh…..another chics mall crawler, sounds crap.
