So the hot hatch you really want is... an SUV crossover? Never expected Hyundai N Division to build such a mental front-wheel drive rebel in 2022 still, it feels a bit dangerous and even a bit wrong. And I love it!
The sounds coming out of this Kona N exhaust are just hilarious, it's so bad-ass. Your neighbours are going to love you for revving it.

I've always thought of the Hyundai Kona as an old people carrier... until I drove this MENTAL Kona N.
Would you buy this compact SUV over a classic hot hatch?
I would prefer the i30N.
@@user-nk1fd6fu5e I've never driven the i30N, but it definitely is an easier car to market :).
I just sold a stinger for a big profit and bought a CX-30 turbo--only because none of these were available and I want AWD--BTW --AWD makes a big diffrence at the local drag--this Kona will have a hard time getting off the line--but sitting up higher makes for an easier drive and keeps your front end skirts and rims from getting damaged.
@@khronin is cx30 running 13.5-13.4 1/4? 🤔
@@602ouge Unless you plan on burning out your tires at the local drag the Kona N is not going to do those numbers reliably if at all--maybe on a mild sunny day with warm pavement.BTW Type R civics were running 14 seconds at the track--well off their time and so were many RWD muscle cars--running high 12s and 13s.Magazines dog the crap out of the cars and you need to look at the fine print--that time will have an asterisk at the bottom of that time saying it was the best of 3 runs or 5 runs.With the money I saved with my CX-30 I plan on renting a car next time I goto the track and the high end/exotic car rental near me rents out 2019 and newer AWD mercedes benz AMG cars for 200 dollars a day and those were running high 11s.You can check my videos out of when I owned a Stinger and I have a video of the staging area of all the cars around me-nothing but cars you see in magazines as far as the eye could see.
You have done a beautiful job of capturing your experience. This is very close to how it feels. The 8 DCT gear ratios are short and only 2 OD gears and the flat power curve means several gears can work at any given time. It's a phenomenal driving experience.
Thanks! 🙏✨
absolutely love Hyundai these days!!
they've come a long way!
you love them or you are in love with them?
@@MrSimon1909 both
Hyundai's line up right now is so dope. Every car they have, im a fan of. I like what Toyota is doing with the GR line as well. Great stuff. I think I will buy an Elantra this year.
Let's be honest Hyundai knows how to make cars sound good
If you consider ticking sounding good
@@Suckmyring someones jealous
@@Suckmyring where’s your car? 😂sounds like you drive a Prius
I have full exhaust work on my 2020 elantra sport and it sounds sooo good. I’ve been delaying my tune for almost 2 years now thooo
@@chill5251 auto or manual ?
Really shows what the BMW M Executive did on these cars. Worked his magic and the Hyundai N Division took off like a rocket ship
The sound of the car sounds great :)
yes, it sounds so angry. GO FASTER!
The sound of the driver on bumpy road was funny....
You are one of the first guys I have seen to actually know how to start a start/stop button car. Everyone for the life of me holds the button in. You only gently touch it and the car does the rest. That alone made my day.
Its different in some cars, My 15 VW Eos requires you to hold it for a second
That's the point of a button, right? Glad I made your day! 👊😄
@@AndRootPro Makes sense, I have not come across one yet where you have to hold the button in even for a second, thank you for sharing.
@@johnnypovdrives Hope you enjoyed the Trip, Kona N is something special, Hyundai has come along way.
@@Beast_KISSER I did & they have! Thanks for watching & commenting! 👊
I quite like the style of your videos, in silent mode and explaining things through subtitles. Are you going to leave more test cars? keep it up. a greeting👍👍
Thanks! Yes, a lot of new drives are coming, thanks for watching! 🙏
Luv the format of ur review.. And Kona N is a beast!
Thanks! 🙏🙏 And yes! 🔥
I met your channel today bro. I really enjoyed this video of yours. It was so beautiful. I thank you for that.
Thanks so much, glad you liked it! Hope you subscribe & love to see you back on a next POV drive! ✌️😄
Absolutely enjoyed the video!
I really like the ‚written thoughts‘ , they quite fun to read.
The Kona N in the bright blue is so good looking and also sounds good 🙏🏻
✨🙏✨ thanks for commenting, glad you liked it! 🔥
Fantastic work on that video, love how you presented the Kona N!
Thanks! ✨🙏✨
Got a new sub, made me feel like I was driving 😩😩 I love it!
Keep up the good work!.I Absolutely love this car!
Thanks! 👊😄
Hyundai is so slept on. The people that talk bad about Hyundai are the ones that don’t know how to change their oil
that was a nice review. i love her sounds, beautiful.
Thanks! 🙏 Yes, it is a beast :).
So I drove this car a couple of days ago along with the AMG A Class. This car is absolutely nuts and blows the AWD a class out the water.. I wouldn't want this thing AWD, it misses the point, it would feel too "safe". This thing feels lairy as hell and is an handful to drive... Great fun.. I've driven most hot hatches at this point and I have actually decided to order one of these.
If those hyundais N(kona,i30,Tucson etc)had 4 wheel drive they would have be selling them like hot cupakes.
The Kona N is selling out plus the I30N has been selling well the last few years. I reckon the Kona N makes sense to have AWD given its setup.
Most stores only get (1) Ese
Exactly, Kona with AWD would be 🔥
@David Gotelli that would be 🤘🥳
The Kona N has 4x4, at least for the European market.
Here in Portugal we love kona... oooh yeaaah ;)
I know you do 😄
I loved every single moment of this video. I'm amazed at what potential this car actually has.
My dad had a Hyundai Kona back in 2021 and he let me drive every once in a while. I floored that car flat while driving in the manual gear mode (tiptronic). Was one of the best experiences of my life. Never felt such power and speed.
I'm sorry you haven't experienced a good car yet
@@nica711 7 seconds it's quite enthusiast actually
@@nica711 can't just let a man comment? Really wanted to say something right?😂
@@aarongrisham5555 at least it's not trash lol
@@nica711 plus I ain't no racer
Beg your parents to teach you not to judge other people😁
I love this N line version alot. I have a 2.0 one and it already makes me excited every time i hit the pedal
Ich habe einen Hyubdai Tucson 1.6 2019 gefahren. Das Teil hatte 177 PS und war mega schnell. Nie ein Problem damit gehabt! Hyundai produziert sehr gut Autos
It looks like the other Kona N had some rally drivers in it 🤔 they drove pretty good if you ask me
Love the video. Can tell you that a regular 2019 Kona is also a fast car and fun to drive
Its not, maybe the 1.6t is semi quick
Get the EV Kona. It's plenty fast.
@@areexsevenproject The Kona EV is fast from a dig, but with rolling start it gets beaten by the turbo petrol engines.
@@roccotaco87 the 1.6 t is plenty quick
@@legioner9 I need to find a stock 1.6t and do a roll race. It feels like the EV pulls hard no matter what speed it's going. I have two WRXs with bigger turbos, so my butt dyno is all I'm comparing it to.
That road matches the soundtrack; lovely!
this dude is a car review genius
✨🙏✨ well thank you!
probably not a popular choice but i would definitely have this over an i30n as a daily+track car. Such a hidden gem of a car compared to the i30 and you get added practicality
I was thinking the same thing!
funfact: you have more space in the i30n...
the amount of random shit i barely cleared on the highway here is crazy if i was in anything lower i would need a new bumper by now. This is one of the reasons I got the kona N. I was really tired of having a low car and dodging pebbles lol the comfort of knowing oversized speed bumps are no longer a threat is a nice feeling. Car still performs amazingly on turns and the rear end rotates really well when i lift off... I can understand having a low car for track driving but not for daily driving I did that for 10 years no accidents or issues driving low but i wanted to stop thinking about it and feeling this performance with out having to worry about being too low is underrated. I believe its the best daily car out of the N cars. En or Vn for trackdriving tho for sure
I’m more about the Elantra N but it’s cool to see this little guy to!
love their hot hatch & this crossover thingy!
Can't wait to get mine.
oooh, congrats! 💪
good luck, unless you already got one on order. I looked EVERYWHERE all the dealers that were getting some were already accounted for. Dude at the one dealership said a guy drove from georgia for theirs(I'm in western new york)
@@LucefieD Yeah on order.. Told could be upto 6 month wait.
@@LucefieD Damn, they sure are hot in the US!
@@xtremegamer78 Congrats! That's not too bad these days 😄
I have a normal Kona (120hp from a turbocharged 1l 3-Cyl) and it's an amazing and comfy car. For some reason I have paddle shifters too 😅
Dsg paddles aren't uncommon nowadays, I never use them though
That things is properly quick🤟
Ow yes! 😍🔥
It’s sounds so good
What a time to be alive EPIC....
😎 totally
I literally bought one on Saturday, it will come in Mai.
Congrats, such a fun car! 👏
Suddenly I love the kona
Im curious why you reviewed on mud road??
Is there felt good than clean road?
Anyway i subscribed your channel.
Thanks for subscribing! The mud road is only for the static walkaround, to be out of the way of traffic. All driving is done on asphalt and concrete roads. ✌️😄
The N type car's is a beautiful creation by Hyundai, awesome! 🤤
I think so too!
Good video. Where are those roads? Looks like the Ardennes!
you're spot on, at the German border with Belgium & Luxemburg 😁
This Car is a fucking Monster 😂
🔥🚀 yes!
In Portugal they changed Kona to Kawai. Kona means something else here...
What's going on, great video but I noticed in the beginning the front fake vents on the hood are present but then they're not when you swipe your hand in front is that an option or did you take them off and had them paint yourself
00:44 the vents are in the part just before the opening part of the hood, they're there all the time, no painting going on :)
0:00
Sounds like my Golf R when my Haldex (AWD) went out. I don't see the point in putting that much power to only the front wheels. You just wheel hop all day.
Gripier tires and leaning into the throttle would probably help.
Very nice looking car
It sure is, thanks for watching! 🙏
Have a kona n line love my car
Wish my wife's kona sounded like that hahaha
Every wife's Kona should sound like that.
That headup display. :DDDD
That wheel hop killed it for me.
Traction control. He left it in sport mode.
Wowww this kona sound great hyundai powerr performance 👌😁
It’s one fire!
@@johnnypovdrives yess it is Johnny pov
Cool !
Never seen a car like this....I want one!
👌😎
Cool car!
Yes! But I think these kind of cars will become very rare in the near future. 🚀
Dope little car !! 😁😁😎😎
It is! 🔥
What is the durability of the new N Performance 8 DCT transmission?
You can hear from other DCT transmissions that they have many problems.
lmao the guy at 5:11
The big thumbs up! 😆
I didn't that one day i could see a Hyundai Sport SUV..😂😂😭
Hey Johnny make more videos of n performance or RS 3 or cupra formentor VZ.
I’ll try! 👊😎
Motor super zvuk tiež no tie lacné materiály a plasty počuť už s videa....
Nice sir ha 😄😃
I thank you. It was quite the adventure! 😅
Consommation 30 litres au 100 🤣🤣🤣 non blague a part, tu aurais du masquer ta plaque d'immatriculation, juste un conseil 😉
Elle donne envie en tout cas 👍🔥💯
Muy impresionante! Hyundai Kona N
Tengo un telefono que no lo es tanto. : (...
Would love one of these... Any of the Hyundai N's would be nice 😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, they sure are fun!
This gonna be my Car next year.If God willing
If this thing was AWD and had a manual option I might have looked at it over a WRX.
Know of any way to adjust the heads up display? Even with the seat lowered right down to the ground I can barely see it because of my height. Thanks !
Well I haven't found it while test driving it... But I was thinking, can't you just rotate the transparant HUD panel by hand?
* btw, don't shoot me if you break it ✌️😅
@@johnnypovdrives there is an option in the setting to adjust the rotation I just found it. Moving the glass would not change the image as the image is being projected onto the glass
@@nolanspeller283 glad you found it! Thanks for sharing. 👊
Idk how or why but somehow Hyundai made the Kona the best N model.
Crazy right :)
2022 Elantra N is tied for first. Everything about the Elantra is amazing, both the cars are great tho. I’d probably get the Kona because I love hatchbacks
@@Gxbe2.3 Elantra does have the Integrated drive axel that the other Models do not have.
@@Gxbe2.3 We don't have the Elantra over here, hope to drive one some day!
I have a red one of the N-line is this the sport N-line 2022
looks & sounds great, no CVT is a massive plus. I wonder if they have sorted out the engine oil consumption issues?
No
what @Johan Mata says 🤗
How you have mounted your cam to record this POV?
Hi, you can find a list of the material I use in the description! ✌️
Лишь дизайн кузова не нравиться)
Но это субъективно!)
Тачка классная!
Мне бы всё эту начинку да в мой Seltos!)
Im driving a 210Hp Kona electric which has way to much power in the front wheels so I cant imagine what 280 Hp does to it. Or is it AWD?
Fwd
It’s front wheel, but I guess you will have a lot more torque in the very beginning because of the electric motor.
completely different weight distribution
This will have competition from the upcoming Corolla GR
Lol in my country they change the name kona because here it means another thing 😂
does it compare to the electric version? Ça ce compare à la version électrique?
Their N line is so sick
I’m so tempted to get one. Could a small SUV actually be fun to drive? I understand GTI might be quicker, but this Kona N just looks so cool.
If I had to choose between this and a Golf 8 GTI, I'd go for this
GTI is not quicker trust me the kona N has more power than alot of these videos show its turbo tops out at 15psi but after it fuel learn it tops out at 18psi which changes its speed drastically... 90% of the videos out there the kona N is top out at 15psi which isn't the true potential of it same with the EN
@@DriverJ-N u right mine is making 300hp stock after octane learning. But I’m sure it make more I haven’t check cause I still have broke in the engine.
I think they designed it for the race enthusiasts to do a back seat delete, install a roll cage, 4 point harness, bucket seats and proper handbrake, that's why the back seats are so tight
Would love to see (and drive) that!
@@johnnypovdrives buy one and build it
@@zumezoom9593 so many project cars, so little time 🥲
@@johnnypovdrives I know right? Lol
In the regular Kona the back seats are tight 😂
auf welcher straße bist du gefahren?? die ist wirklich wunderschön!
Ik zou ook wel even bidden als ik in Koreaanse bende moest gaan rijden. Nee mij niet gezien... Hyundai / KIA.. Alleen leuk om in de fik te steken. Verder de kwaliteit ervan is heel matig.
safety first he! 🙏
spitzenmässiges Review! Endlich mal einer mit verbünftigen cuts und mit vernünftigem Tempo unterwegs, nicht dieses wischi waschi kurz vollgas und dann wieder Vollbremsung. Die Kurvenfahrten sind auch der Hammer!
Just needs a Borla exhaust and straight pipe 😍
I don’t know it but I can imagine it makes a sh*tload of noise 😄
What was the first bit of the video were you prayed? Thanks
Where is this road? North side of Walonia?
Just smoked one of these in my 1le lol had to look them up it sounds cool but pretty slow
Do you think the Kona N will be tuner friendly and be able to put out 350 HP? Or greater?
I'm not sure, I suppose the stuff you can do with the i30N you can do with the Kona N. 😄
@@johnnypovdrives ahhh okay
The gearbox (wet DCT) would certainly last another horsepower to 300-320 horsepower. 🤔
The 8-speed DCT is rated for 470Nm and there are tuners in Germany that safely get 350-360hp out of the engine with just chiptuning.
@@henrikkoukku2896 should be able to take 400 easily
I did a build on the Hyundai site and those rims weren't an option and based on the video I can't tell if that's a white paint job or more like a greyish white color paint job.
They have very limited options on the site for the exterior.
check the video description for details & specs! ✌️
4:16 s'arrêter en pleine sortie de virage c'est une bonne idée ça
Hyundai today is what honda used to be in the past, love it
I feel like they don't offer an arm rest, cup holders, and usb port in the rear of the Elantra to push more people towards the Kona
If I didn't love my Ford focus ST so much I would probably get this so the rest of my family could drive it.
Is there a good sound system available or only standard 6 speakers
I have no idea. I’d only listen to that engine anyway. 😄
@@johnnypovdrives in the i30n was no Soundsystem available. So I think in Kona is the same
@@aljoscha_be the Kona has a sound system, it even has a woofer in the trunk ✌️😄
@@johnnypovdrives wow, do you know the brand ? Or Thier own brand? They should do the same in the i30, than I had bought a Hyundai i30 rather than an seat Leon.

I have a 2010 skyline crossover 3.7 v6 same as 370z.It feels better then the hyundai kona in every way imaginable.Modern cars have gone backwards and are unenjoyable especially turbo cars
Could be awd even if its small suv
it could, they should make it
is it diesel or gasoline? sorry to ask i don’t know what is petrol
Nice car. How much it coast?
oh yes i like this .

Which one you think is better ? Velostet N or Kona N ?
