I bought the 2024 Kona SEL AWD back in December. I have had Hyundai vehicles since 2010 and have enjoyed them all. I am by myself now and for one person and her dog the size is perfect. I love the way it handles and the ride. Your video confirmed that I made the right choice for me. Thanks

30:38 We leased a Mirage Green SEL 5 days ago and we are loving it. We are over 80 and feel the SEL is a great car for seniors. I have a troublesome back and it has been easy getting in and out of the Kona. Features like the power adjustable driver and passenger seats add to the convenience and comfort.

Great job on the video…..and thanks for reviewing the SEL. All of these car guys/girls always review the upper and most expensive trims. Not interested in the 19” rims and turbo so very much appreciated!!! I am a Honda guy but you are making a great case for a test drive !!!

If you live in snowy conditions get the AWD. It’s unbelievably reliable. With downhill mode and snow mode you are perfectly safe and in control. This car is probably best in class and price range. Already put a deposit down after test drive. Can’t wait.

That could be content for a follow up video concerning CarPlay connection. Once you verify it for yourself of course. It is hard to believe that Hyundai would put wireless connect in a $26,000 Elantra ( my 22 Elantra, totaled in accident) but not in a $30,000 suv crossover.

This is true for keyed versions without engine immobilization. The newer versions, including this Kona are keyless start with engine immobilization. Therefore, these aren’t the targets that the older models are.

Test drove a Kona, loved the big shifter next to the window wiper. but the middle console for the Sel conveniences package was smaller than I expected. Is it also normal for it to have a 1 second delay when pressing the gas peddle? This kinda push me away 😮💨 test drove the Honda HRV and was more responsive and normal for my everyday drive. But it doesn’t have what I like neither 😩
