Thank you very much for your support and compliment! I will try my best to get my hands on the HEV model. It won't be much different from a regular model other than the mpg plus the initial torque from the motor on city drives.
@panagiotisbitos4391
Жыл бұрын
My main concern is how it will behave on highways. I mean for example, will the electric motor contribute in an overtaking with extra torque? Also it has a max speed of 165km/h, will it start to get difficult from 130-140? Since it is a heavier car than previous and it has 104hp (combustion engine only) comparing to 198hp of the 1.6T.
@CarSceneKorea
Жыл бұрын
I'd have to test drive to find those out for sure. However, Hyundai is constantly upgrading HEV logics to pump the best performance out of a vehicle (mostly mpg with hybrids in this case), and HEV also comes with what's called e-Ride, utilizing the motor to counter the pitching of a car going over a speed bump and necessary road conditions. The motor will constantly engage and disengage to use the power and charge the battery, I will definitely check those out when I have the chance to test drive the HEV.

Can't wait to see the color and features for the North American (U.S.) market. My criticism of the size increase is this: The current Kona, 2023 and older, being smaller, looks and feels more sporty, like a slightly larger hot-hatch. The new design however looks and feels more like traditional SUV in size and look, which is ultimately confusing to me because Hyundai already offers the Tuscon, so the ideology for the Kona change leads me to think more changes to the SUV lineup is coming. I wanted the shorter, lower, sportier compact SUV with AWD for winter driving at an affordable price, and the Kona offers that currently. The 2024 refresh takes some of that away and some of my enthusiasm with it, so I'll have to see the 2024 Kona in person before I decide if I want to get one.

Good points. I think I go over your thoughts later in the video around 34:15 I will let you decide and after seeing it for yourself, but what I can assure you is that this KONA is still much closer to the last KONA than it is to Tucson in every single way. It did get larger, but not by much(in terms of the physical car dimensions itself), but has larger interior/trunk. You may say that I'm contradicting myself here, but every inch counts when it comes to compact SUVs like KONA and that's why.

Greetings from Australia. Like you we drive a Seltos GTLine 1.6T DCT and look forward to testing the new Second Generation KONA NLine (a Red one!) in around June/July down here. We are impressed with the features that this new KONA provides for the driver both in comfort and vehicle performance. Particularly impressed with all other features, but particularly with the 64Gb SIM to capture recorded-image of a “dash cam” function with easily identified access dates and times. It appears that there is no spare provided which might need to be in the OZ version. We hope that they don't play around with the Australian suspension which, on the Seltos resulted in a rather heavy drive. We are waiting for your test drive of the NLine - is this still a probability soon? We enjoy your presentations and like you we are sad to see the departure of the Stinger which unfortunately didn't take off in our SUV environment.

Thanks for the insight and also watching my video. From now on, N-Line models only focus on cosmetic parts such as bodykit(bumpers), interior fabric(Alcantra, etc.), no performance related upgrades like they were in previous N-Lines thus far. Suspension, engine, all those remain the same. Having said the above, N-Line will most likely be applicable across all types and trims, a little bit doubtful on the EV though given the nature, but will soon find out. I will def review N-Line when possible.

The biggest downside is that even in the Luxury package, I miss a lot of the features (eg. 360 cameras, extra button on the remote for getting in/out of parking spots, camera for blind spots and some more). Is that something that Hyundai wanted or is the Luxury package mislabeled in EU on purpose by the importers?

Think I watched your walk around video and now your test/drive. I have 5-cameras on my Rogue. My thought is, why have they not thought of using the cameras also like a Dash-Cam. It would be great if you did not have to be ADDING another camera on the windshield and these fully equipped models can have the security of monitoring and parking mode security. No one has mentioned this option but hope they can find a way to make this happen or even as an "Aftermarket" upgrade.

Good point. I'm thinking it probably has to do with cost, placement, durability and more. Where the dash cam sits is not jus the onboard cam, but also hi-pass(toll pass system for Korea). Personally, I think it has to do with the line of sight mostly.

Great review, very thorough. Thank you. I'm not sure if Apple Carplay and Android Auto is big in Korea or not, but it is used heavily in North America. Hyundai still does not have wireless Apple Carplay or Android Auto which is very frustrating. What's the point of having a wireless charger when you still need a cable to connect your phone.

Very true. Not that Hyundai doesn’t have the tech, but I believe it is the legal issues they might have.

@@CarSceneKorea I read the same. They can make the screens wireless as is, but due to the large screens etc there is some very complicated legal issues. Nobody seems to have exact answer but my local dealer said Kia uses the same screen and has the same issue.

Love your reviews! What's the main difference between the limited and n line tech wise? Is it the cameras and 360 parking views?

N-Line focuses on more of an aesthetic aspect than performance, at least for KONA atm. Sonata still gets a bit diff engine & transmission.

Great review and you have covered pretty much everything! Just one quick question: In many videos, I've seen that the Seamless Horizon Lamp is turned off in the middle part while driving despite the car being equiped with the full lenght DRL. Do you have any thoughts on why and when this happens? Thank you!
@CarSceneKorea
Жыл бұрын
There needs to be a break for a DRL, so drivers can differentiate a left and right DRL, whereas that's not needed for night-time headlights.

How tall in the reviewer? If he's above 6ft then that's marvelous leg room in the back. I'm assuming he kept the driver position the same when he went to measure the back. Hopefully the rear seating space translate into the EV as well. Can't wait for the EV review.

I'm 5.8ft or 176cm tall. Yep, I kept the driver seat the same :) The second row seat leg room is indeed amazing.

Hello I have a question for Hyundai Kona in Korea. Can 18 inch alloys be ordered as an option on petrol engine instead of 19 inch. Or 18 inch are just on Hybrid version.

Does this sit high up like the Seltos? Or more lower like the Niro? Wish it had Harmon Kardon sound system like my Kia Soul. Sounds so much better with its spatial sound option. Wish it had a HUD love mine. I'm debating on a Niro Sportage and now the Kona HEV. Wish the Seltos had a HEV version as that is the perfect size small SUV that sits up higher.
@CarSceneKorea
Жыл бұрын
Keen question. I'd say somewhere between the two precisely, but more closer if not same as Seltos for the seating position - I always lower the seat closest to the ground to keep it objective to the best I can. HUD might come with later year models.
