Hi Sam, I just picked my new 2024 Hyunday Kona electric here in California where they just showed up at dealers. Mine is the SEL (extended range EPA 261 miles) I got it for MSRP of US $38,010 (includes destination charges). I was going to pay cash, but Hyundai Motor Finance is offering 0.99% financing for 48 months so I financed it after paying $5k down. I love this EV. Coming from a 2011 Nissan Leaf, I feel spoiled with the tech included with this car. Mine is Cyber Gray and looks awesome 😊
Just on pronunciation of Hyundai. The way you said it as “Americans say it” is the correct way to pronounce Hyunday. We Australians still say Hi Undai because of the silly distributor in the eraly days for Australia came up with the slogan Hi to Hi Undai. Correct way is Hyun Dae. Which is closer to the American method 😊
500km range should be standard these days. What I do like about this Kona though is the space saver tyre. The era of EVs not having a spare tyre because of range and efficiency should be coming to a close. It's no longer necessary when we have EVs with 850km range on the horizon.
Sam are you aware that MG are trying to exploit the popularity of the MG4 by raising their prices AND wasting money on TV advertising (to no target audience in particular).
Meanwhile the GWM Ora Cat just got reduced by $4000. That means the Ora Cat can be got in QLD after rebate for $31k. $31k!
I definitely would get a cat. I get that China counters racism by buying western car names like Volvo and MG as well as Lotus...but I prefer the real deal and those who are proud enough to stick to their own names.

my husband has agreed that as long as I'm still working, I can buy a Kona SE this year - not sure if i can make a convincing argument for 60 more miles of range, more power (he doesnt care about that much) and comfier seats. not entirely sure its worth it to me, either, but i might try to test drive both.
What's best charging speed to have the batteries last longer. I'm currently using Level ONE charger...120v..20 amp circuit, and can charge between 6 and 16amps in Canada. Will the batteries last longer with Level One charging than Level Two charging. Excellent
Regarding range and wheel size, you are spot on. In UK/Europe you have an option to choose between 17's or 19's, but not here in Australia!!!! Absolutely ridiculous IMO :)
the exterior looks so much better than any byds so far, but using the LG batteries is a deal breaker for me
What a shame they don't have LFP batteries. I would not buy one on that alone.
No mention of the space saver spare tyre? It is a rarity in EVs. Still too expensive to compete with BYD.
...and it has a crappy Lithium-ion instead of an LFP.
@@chillfluencer Maybe you aren't aware, but the L in LFP *IS* Lithium (ion)...
How much for a new battery if I carelessly run over a pebble?
@@vincecarloagree
The mid range Seal has an 82.5kwh battery at around $58.8k, so under $60k and I am sure would have more range.
I have watched a few of his videos on and off. The only thing he is consistent on is his ability to flip flops around with his point of view. One minute he says byd blade battery is the safest, and Hyundai battery catches fire. Now he is recommending we we should buy this car ..
Here in Denmark you can get a Nissan Ariya for the same price as the Kone which is so much better except for the warranty.
People still buy Nissan trash? You must lack a technical education.
I wonder what you actually get for your AU$00 service fee on this Kona ?
Atto 3 Australia can drop in price if the dealer wants to crush the competition.
505 km LG battery so can charge to 80%. 505 x 0.8= 404km.
Hyundai offers a very good warranty also.
Not in NZ so far only the old model :(
Waiting for kona ev in hindustan. Or creta ev. To take on byd, tata etc.
Now it has a frunk, you do not have to make or buy it
Glad I just sold my 2022 Highlander, in part because of LG Chem batteries. Why take the risk with more of the same - especially given the ridiculous problems with the Ioniq 5 full battery replacements.
LG supplies batteries to Tesla, VW, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Porshe, Hyundai kia, and Lucid. Its number 2 place supplier. I dont think you can avoid them
I don't believe they supply many to Tesla - certainly not the Southern Hemisphere versions. And they certainly don't supply BYD - which I drive. But I am sure you are wrong about being number 2. CATL is no.1 supplier, BYD 2nd - by a long way. So I think you are wrong and LG can be avoided. @@TomTomdog
@jonathankeren-black2983 Tesla short range is supplied by Catl, and long range is supplied by LG in Europe. Yes, Catl and BYD are numbers 1 and 2. But if you exclude China, LG currently supplies most batteries around the world beating Catl and BYD. China has a huge population
@jonathankeren-black2983 Short range is usually with LFP batteries for Tesla. I have model 3. Long range is NCM with has higher power per weight. In US panasonic, in Europe, LG. I dont know about Australia
Neither are desirable for me, IMO. Too expensive. Scavaging heat from the battery is a good move though. it needs to undercut to make a difference.
Hyundai may be great car, but their after service in certain part of the country is really bad.. hope they improve on this.
Yep , Sales woman even said to me " id never have one " they really hate us EV owners. and the service is a rip off , But i do love my Kona , i had Mk1 and 2 now .
What Sam doesn't tell you:
Atto 3: LFP
2024 Kona: Lithium-ion
He did tell you
@@MarsOzzie...so why is he pitching that Li-Ion trash ?
@@chillfluencer the Kia not NMC chemistry?
Great, if it’s Li-ion, I’d stay as far as I can.
What is the cost of replacing the battery? Every EV manufacturer has to answer this clearly.
Before 8 years? Free.
For comparison, how much will an engine replacement cost at 8+ years in a Camry or some other midrange ICE vehicle?
$60k plus
@@hargeauxlook up the case in Canada where an owner of a Hyundai Ionic drove over a gravel road and the shield protecting the battery (but not the battery itself) was slightly damaged and the dealer charged them $60k Canadian to replace the battery on a 1 year old car.
@@henrylawson430 I know that case. What's your point? It's new tech. You realise insurance covered it (wrote it off/paid out the owner). It also wasn't for 'driving over gravel' - they hit something substantial causing unknown (to the seemingly incompetent dealer) damage to the car. It's probably perfectly fine, you realise, the car was drivable and had no warning signs. Insurance simply got in the way.
The same as a new car.
Servicing cost are major issue with the new Kona, Tesla have better servicing plan, over air updates and the navigation is almost live. I have the 2019 model Kona EV and would not buy another one.

In the Netherlands the first gen Kona's have finally hit, what I consider the milestone value below 20000 euros, that makes finally sense to invest in EVs in general. The current running worry is the LG battery issue that warrants battery replacement for certain Kona's between 11-2018 and early early (04?) 2020. It is however far from transparent which of these EVs are affected and which have had replacement batteries. In Europe the issue seems less prevelant and I'm seeing high mileage (>110000 km) sold second hand for below 20000 euros. The first gen Kona's have become interesting. But the issue with Kona's I think, is that its hard to navigate how reliable the batteries are. I know and have read news that newer Kona's from 2020 onwards don't have LG packs any more but feom a different Chinese battery manufacturer. I think therefore this new 3rd generation Kona will not have LG batteries as far as I am aware, contrary, to what electric Vikingbis stating in this video, of I understood the electric viking correctly in this video.
With all of its misfortunes, I think Hyandai has a very interesting proposition for this new and improved Kona. I still think the price os too high for what you get and in that sense a second hand Kona makes more financial sense in the long run. As soon as this third generation Kona comes below 20000 euro value this will be a very I yeresting EVto look out for, provided there will not be more battery issue surprises, so that will in my view be the thong to look and watch out for with second hand Kona's and is going to be the challenge to get thatbinformation in the long run. I notice today it is not easy to get battery health and status of older EVs, and we still seem to do business the old fashioned way, which makes transparentbinformation to make a sound decision for a second hand EV just as challenging as a second hand ICE vehicle. And this while in my view somehow electric has a much longer lifespan potential even at higher mileage. I notice this is also something that needs a readjustment of how to team higher mileage RVs compared to ICE vehicles. I expected a second hand first gen Kona with 170000 kilometers on the odometer to be below 15000 euros. But most are still slightly below 20000 euros, so they hold their value quite high in my view! So yes, I think a Kona in general is a good value proposition to look out for in general in my view. I personally like the older design and size of the Kona better. The first and second gen are quite reasonably sized for the European roads, especially the Netherlands, in my view, and provide quite a decent a weather all season range of 300 kilometer even at higher odometer values, from what I've seen here and there. Could be a tad better in terms of capacity in wi yer for true 300 kilometers in winter with normal use. Perhaps something for the 4th gen vehicle. I don't think this third generation Kona design looks nice. It is very bulky and I don't believe the improved c.o.d. for one instant, based on common sense. I agree that smaller tires make any car more frugal. I've even noticed a 3-4 kilometres per litre improvement with smaller and narrower tires consumption on my ice vehicle. There's a reason the skinny tires on a BMW i3 work.
I think for a third gen Kona the previous size could also have worked in my view, by more smarter use of space. In my view they could have tried more to reduce the front bonnet space for more interior space, experiment with a sliding rear bench to play with compromising between leg space and boot space or more clever designs to fold the rear bench flat. We're seeing smart designs with the cybertruck rear collapsable bech and the ID2All and ID buzz also showing interesting usecases of the rear bench design, instead of a fixed bench, that will likely be too small for most people (I seen so many EV rear bench videos that are still cringeworthy to see with the compromises for rear seat passengers in 2024!!! Rear seat space and comfort design still seem to be a huge challenge compared to the front seats for midtier and compact EVs, and we're still accepting the compromises instead of smarter compromised design). I am looking forward to seeing the third gen Kona reviews.
I think I would prefer a BYD premium Seal for the same sort of money, more range, better performance, equipment and RWD.
Recently drove the Seal Performance and was blown away by the 390kw of power. The Premium RWD is no slouch either with 230kw of power. I've reluctantly had to move away from nearly buying the Seal due to its low ground clearance. The steep beginning of my driveway causes the Seal's bumper to be within 2 centimetres of the concrete where the steep decline meats the flat concrete. I'm guaranteed to scrape the under leading edge of the front bumper. Even the demo Seal with under 600 kilometres has bumper damage, so salespeople or demo customers have scraped the vehicle. The chassis ground clearance is low as well, so potholes and bigger speed bumps will cause grief for many owners. Pity, as the Seal is a great car to drive. But BYD stuffed up with its height. Too low!
To compare, my VW Polo is quite low but at least has 5cm clearance under the bumper on my steep driveway. A Tesla model 3 has 6cm. So, Model 3 it is for me. If the Seal was higher I would have bought either the Performance or Premium.
@@Paul-ow9dd Ludicrous Feed talked about removing that lip under the bumper area if it became an issue
@@GDM22 It's not the rubber lip at the back of the bumper on each side that is the problem. It's the whole front leading edge of the bumper that has NO protection and when it scrapes concrete or bitumen then the underside of the bumper is damaged. A hard enough scrape could crack the bumper as well. On the Seal the black bottom of the bumper looks to be replaceable, but I imagine it's going to be a grand or two as a spare part - if available.
On many ICE vehicles they have a sacrificial hard rubber/plastic strip that acts as a warning that your close to damaging the bumper as that strip is two or 3cm in height. EV's have no sacrificial "warning" strip. You scrape the bumper and it's damaged.
Unfortunately, a deal breaker for me as the Seal is lower than most vehicles. A major flaw, and I imagine a LOT of owners are going to damage the front bumper.
SHOOTOUT: 2024 Kia Niro EV vs Hyundai Kona Electric | Electrifying
Electrifying
Why are you promoting a car that has a ternary battery and comparing it to a car with a LFP battery? These batteries have greater degradation if you charge over 80%. You can buy a space saver for the Atto 3 easily and it fits in the sub floor in the boot.
Unless you want your self blown or burnt out of proportion don't choose hyundie or toyocrap.
Close enough to 60 grand on the road, you could get 10 old Camry's for the same money which will last just as long.
I wouldn't want one Camry let alone 10.
@@GDM22You don't want money either obviously.
@@actualfacts1055 Life is too short to be driving a Camry.

Hi just a couple of points , what an ugly car , it may be very efficient , but everday you will have to look at it ! even the chinese car's look more exceptable in my opinion , no lfp battery ! in the uk , dealer are stuck with pre registered old shapes with just delivery mileage , prices are high at moment but dropping , do you know what type of battery is in the old shape 64kw model none of the dealer i have spoken to seem to know , a new old shape model for the right price is more appealing to me , on a completely different subject 6 month ago i looked to purchase a nissan town star ev ( renault kango , same thing ) price £33500.00 plus vat at 20% , crazy ! now the same spec vechile , plenty to choose from , £19500 plus the vat , every one keeps saying ev's are sell well in the uk , i don't think so !
go ahead chump go ahead and buy it
