I was looking at this car as well as the Toyota Corolla Cross and the Honda HR-V. And let me tell you that the interior to the Kona won me over. I could care less if people think it's ugly on the outside if the interior makes it a comfy ride for me. Better yet that the rest of the specs are up to par.
You guys need to smile while driving these types of cars. It is the class, price, and size of cars most, most viewers buy and drive. They are not bad and they last! You guys review sports cars and fast cars way too much!
I think the HR-V DOES look reasonably handsome. It'd be held in higher regard if it didn't have a paralytic lack of power. That thing would be transformed by a turbo.
Triangular styling rules! Triangular geometries offer inherent advantages in automotive design due to their structural stability, efficiency, and aerodynamic properties. Triangles distribute forces evenly, enhancing stability and safety in vehicle components like suspension systems and chassis frames. Their efficient use of materials reduces weight, improving fuel efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Additionally, triangular shapes minimize air resistance, enhancing aerodynamics for better vehicle performance. Well Done.
I thought I would hate the Kona and owning one would be soul crushing, but it's just a shockingly competent car. Fast enough in the 1.6T configuration, good amount of interior space, reasonable fuel economy, easy to use infotainment, good tech onboard and a transmission that isn't hateful. It's pretty much perfect for my wife tooling around Mainz and Frankfurt. We even took it on a road trip to Bergamo and...it was comfortable. Considering we got it loaded for 24k Euro, I genuinely cannot complain.
Stick that just something else to go wrong turbo. I wish people would wake up and realize turbos suck. put more stress on engine components put more heat in your engine oil something that is bad for your engine. I don't want to hear about warrenty because if you are a person who keeps your car long term, then the warrenty expires. My experience with Hyundai's powertrain warrenty has not been good. Now I know why some people call them stealerships.These guys don't care because they are driving this vehicle for a short time and they want a fun experience nothing more, so they want the damn turbo.
@@scrambler69-xk3kv Ours is a two year lease for dirt cheap, so it will be someone else's problem. I tend to agree though and have always driven naturally aspirated cars (E46 M3, K20 Civic Si, BRZ, ND2 Miata, Genesis G90 V8).
I can personally comment on Hyundai/Kia's honoring of their warranty: they will fight you tooth and nail to not pay out. their dealerships, at least within an 8 hour drive of where my car's engine literally punched the bottom of my hood, were all backlogged nearly a year, they dont offer loaners, they dont compensate for rentals until AFTER the repair is complete, and to be compensated for a rental takes months. So essentially, Hyundai/Kia knowingly sold millions of cars with a design fault and then fought to refuse to pay it out, to then require you to essentially have to buy a whole new vehicle while yours is being repaired (one dealership actually suggested i just buy another car while mine sits in their lot for almost a year before they even looked at it). What I hate is: both companies knock it out of the park on styling and overall efficiency but I'll never give them another cent after fighting them nearly a year just be reimbursed for an engine they knew had issues. If i laid out everything that happened over the course of a year I could likely make a 30min video of just reading out my notes i started keeping about month 3 of my fight with them.
"for 27k, it's not a total shitbox". We're living in the worst automotive times. This statement is so absurd that it can't be right. But it is. Can't imagine ever owning a new car again because of it.
Sad, I paid the same for my 2019 GTI SE with the adjustable suspension and Fender audio. And it does get 35mpg running 78 mph. Probably just as much utility and much much better driving dynamics and interior quality. It’s not just a boring appliance. And the styling is not going to get old.
@@palebeachbum GTI: “You can load more things into the back of a GTI than you can in most other compact cars. It has up to 22.8 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. You can fold down the rear seats to open up a 52.7-cubic-foot cargo hold, and there is additional storage underneath the cargo floor.” 2023 Kona: The Kona has a slightly below-average cargo capacity for the subcompact SUV class. There’s 19.2 cubic feet of room behind the second row and 45.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. On the plus side, the rear cargo area’s low liftover height and wide opening make loading and unloading heavy grocery bags and luggage a breeze. So pretty close to even with the GTI getting the nod on the utility side.
@@Biochemechanic 2024 Kona has 25.5cuft behind 2nd row and 63.7cuft with seat down. That's much bigger than GTI. An 11cuft difference is roughly equivalent to a subcompact sedan trunk. It's a big difference.
What’s crazy is how ugly I thought the Aztec was when it came out. Horrible. But over time and with modern design tastes actually heading in that direction, now when I look at a picture of an Aztec, it isn’t pretty but it doesn’t seem ugly anymore either.
I WANT more bizzare designs on the roads. Cybertruck is another example. I don't like it personally, but at the same time it's a breath of fresh air to see something so completely batsh/t.
Ive been eyeing the kona since last year as my aging 2006 accord is about to term out of usability. Imo the 2023 was the last attractive year in terms of a car with longevity. I dont mind either the new or old looks, but forcing the CVT on all trims for the 2024, pairing the decent 8speed trans with the turbo (which will require more maintenance), and then the design choice which kills me is the steering wheel positioned shifter also on the models with the 8speed trans. There is no trim which is desirable for someone who wants a regular ass car with tested longevity. Moving onto mazda since Ive long adored their exterior stylings and have cars that fit the bills; decent powered engine with no turbo connected to a good old 6speed auto and a competently styled interior
I can't be the only one that likes the weird styling Hyundai has been using over the past half decade or so. Weird styling makes the cars stand out which is what lots of customers want.
@@JCDenton95LOL! Never heard the term “bowling shoe ugly”, but I love it. (I used to bowl in a league as a teenager, and yeah, I had a pair of really ugly bowling shoes. But they were “groovy” back in 1972!)
Interior and exterior is way ahead in this segment and price point. Love the exterior looks way more futuristic and modern than the basic Corolla and hrv and Mazdas. Interior is way ahead looks way more modern
Ford EcoSport production ended over a year ago, with 2022 being the final model year. There may be a few still sitting on lots, but they aren't a competitor to anything anymore. Also, the EcoSport was built in India, intended for Asian and European markets first. They only bothered selling it here because it was cheaper than designing something new just for the US
@@John-kx3ng the Maverick has taken over the entry level option since you can theoretically get one for $20k (or at least you could when they first released). That small cuv segment probably doesn't have enough demand for them to bother designing a whole new vehicle that they'll just scrap in 5 years when they move more stuff to electric.

Highly underrated channel. I’ve followed them for years and I don’t understand why they haven’t grown more as they present the best, most comprehensive reviews.
This vehicle is CLEARLY in another class (up). The interior is borderline luxurious. The powertrain in the N line is more premium. It cleans the slate of HRV and CrossT in performance. HRV ain't that economical if driven enthusiastically and when comparing to the 2.0liter Atkinson engine will be very comparable. That 10 Yr warranty counts BIG. The steel is flat out better. The Cross is Cheaped out at a staggering level. The Cross is a COROLLA lifted. The HRV is a CIVIC lifted. Hyundai did not take the Elantra and lift it. This is a unique platform and the amount of cost-cutting on the CrossT and HRV its embarrassing. Bigger cargo area, spot for washer fluid bottle, adjustable rear seat and cargo cover that feels like a quality piece and not a piece of cardboard. The styling is super modern and by creasing the steel in the sides one increases the rigidity immensely. The CrossT can not accommodate a 6ft plus person and Hyundai has created a vehicle that a family can LIVE with for a long time (certainly through the growth of young children) Did you know that the roof rails can handle 220pds> The cross? 75. I like the look underneath on vehicles but you basically said nothing underneath. Why not take the HRV and the N which are priced very similarly in a big parking lot and accelerate them? This N spanks it. Did you look at the Genesis level sunroof? instead of the cheaped out roof cassette roof in the HRV etc...why does it lift up and over? because the seats in the back are HIGHER wider, longer, stronger and way more comfortable for a long journey. the seat can be higher when the sunroof goes up and over the vehicle. A suggestion would be to you guys is talk to the MARKET of this car. its a family thing. HRV with their kid latch and centre seatbelt hanging from the ceiling... no kidding) creates an ongoing obstruction when driving down the road... and cheaped out rear seating (NO centre armrest>??? Huh?) put on the Hazard lights at night....compare.... Please guys....MORE details...deeper analysis... How about intelligent key? Not even avail in this market... I can go on and on.... and that CVT on the HRV would drive anyone nuts after a day. Hyundai.shows once again why they are on a roll... Recalls? How about toyota 1.8 Million Rav 4 recall last week.... Hyundai is growing fast and will make a few mistakes. This aint one.
That facial expression when forcing the rear seat to fold down... that explains so much of the sensibility y'all have that keeps me coming back to every video
i really enjoyed hearing about the residual value implications of frequent and drastic refreshes. Also about how Hyundai invests in these cheaper models more than other brands. I know these subjects are more esoteric or highly technical but I enjoy them. Thanks!
I drive a 2023 Kona 1.6t AWD Limited, great car! Fast, can accelate quickly to the shock of other drivers, such a shame they took the power out of the 2024!!!!!
In 2014 we bought a Hyundai Elantra. At 50,000 miles Hyundai replaced the engine with a remanufactured shortblock. Meaning they replaced the bottom half of the engine and reused the head of our engine. with a 400.00 dollar- copay, which I think was for labor. A year later it developed an oil leak. Took it in and they said the oil pan gasket was leaking. I assumed they would remove the oil pan clean the surfaces and replace the gasket. Silly me, no they replaced the oil pan to the tune of 400.00 dollars again. I got a recall notice for the brakes. while there they said the rear high mount brakelight was not working. The car was inspected by my own local mechanic the day before and everything was fine, and it passed. They wanted 58.00 to reconnect they wire that I believe they disconnected. No thanks no more Hyundais for me. Toyota or Honda next time.
With the fuel economy being one of the issues that everyone site why do you think they don't offer the gas hybrid version that is offered overseas in the USA?
No, emissions control and fuel economy are two seperate issues. Lot of emissions is about cat lightoff and temp control during cold starts and how to keep the fuel mixture and exhaust gas temps at right level for emissions systems to work at max. This is also about combustion cycle which can be at odds with power output and fuel economy. Thats why their smartstream dual injection system can help with that. Its basically a shit show and why internal combustion is going down the tubes.
Yeah if I want to change the temperature, or which vents the air is blowing through, I want to press a button or turn a knob (preferably the latter, for temperature adjustments). Not go 3 menus deep in a slow-responsive touchscreen.
@@jeffb.6642 yep in my 2017 civic I had to go through the slow touch screen to change the fan speed. I have the 2024 Kona SEL convenience now though and have the physical controls back for all AC functions. The touch screen is also very responsive compared to my last car too.

No, emissions control and fuel economy are two seperate issues. Lot of emissions is about cat lightoff and temp control during cold starts and how to keep the fuel mixture and exhaust gas temps at right level for emissions systems to work at max. This is also about combustion cycle which can be at odds with power output and fuel economy. Thats why their smartstream dual injection system can help with that.
