Using an electric timer you need to take off anywhere from .25 to .5 of a second because it measures when you hit the gas pedal and there is a delay that all magazines account for. So really the Kona is around 7.2 seconds 0-62 mph or 6.95 0-60. Did you try with traction control off?

Test drove the 2021 Kona 2 litre preferred and essential here in Canada. loved the essential version best. Also test drive the 2021 Elantra very high tech computerised safety features built in, we loved it too, but instantly felt the Kona was better. Kona preferred version has all the warnings the Elantra has. But I just loved the kona essential best as I felt it handled far better, more speedy, zippy response etc, so tomorrow it's deal done. Rear view camera rocks. Love cruise control too enjoyed that on the highway. Pulls away fast too. AWD as well, what's not to love. I could seriously use the front seats as beds if tent flooded camping in the Canadian Rockies again from the horrendous storm. They lie back almost flat and tons of leg room too at the front. Very comfortable.

Yes happy for Kona buyers that they put more goodies in as we can see and experience on our 2020 Kona "Active" - yes it is "active" while driving it - drives well - great fuel consumption, but it lacks on options and those the car has are not function as expected they would. With creating two new fronts means more spare parts has to be on hand in Oz with the 10 year government rule spare parts availability. Not all car importers in Oz play by this rule!! When new and they are strapped for parts, they just take parts from another car they have sitting in their yard to keep those cars already sold on the road or the customer get's a temporarily demo for the while been. We were in such a situation twice and did not drive our new car once for three months and once for over six months - so take this! Consider that the Kona is since 2017 sold here in Oz and if we want any accessories, all they stock are floor mats, carpet, boot liners, drim stripings, mud flaps has to be ordered in or they offer a made in China set. Wouldn't it be really time - coronavirus or not - to have upgrade parts in stock? Like go from halogen to LED or getting a fog light kit, having an option for bigger rims or an option to have a proper built-in GPS instead of using Google maps on a mobile phone and it only works if there is an internet connectivity - and Australia's internet is a shamble and provider companies take one to the cleaners? Hyundai should be made aware of this missing opportunity as this will make Hyundai / Kia lose customers as they lose faith in those products. I give you one acample : Ssangyong. They had good sales at their beginnings in Oz and did not expect it..so the running out of spares took place / taking combonets out of stocked cars to get the ones already on the road going........and now it is an open secret, Ssangyong is an hands off product and this made sales plummeting. Please open their eyes before it will be too late as right now Kia and Hyundai models selling like hot bread - the downside is what one buys is what one is stuck with or has to cop financial losses when upgrading because of making the wrong choice and picking the wrong model as we did.
Wow, Thank you for your throughly though comment. Yes, it is very crucial to have ready parts of the models being sold in your country. And I hope Hyundai doesn't make the same mistake. Thank you.

Very informative they need to have less plastic in the SUV has it got blind side technology.What are the options u can add to the top of the line NLine
@@AsianPetrolhead got mine on Monday this week. They cut a lot off the US version, which is a real shame, but I still like the vehicle a lot. Was able to get the "tech package" but that was it.
Hi Charlie, would you mind sharing how fast you drive on the highway to obtain the 39 mpg? I can only get 37.5 mpg with my 17 sonata hybrid, but I drive about 85 mph on average.
first SUV/CrossOver i've like was the Santa Fe when i saw it in "the walking dead" series and this compact suv (N line) is really looking very good, nice design and great performance tbh

I really liked the kona. Then checked out the Kia Niro. That beats the kona on every level. Only advantage the kona had was AWD. Niro was the way I want to go but waiting for 2021 as the dash is WAY better.

I like that the regular model does not have the fake air vent on the hood, though I suspect all US spec models will probably have the fake hood vents. The thing I like about the N Line is the body colored cladding. Not a fan of grey off color body cladding. Waiting for more info on the full N model. Crossing my fingers it will be AWD but have a feeling I’ll be disappointed, and they’ll make it front drive only.
I have a 2019 kona with the 2.0L engine. I like to drive this car. Fuel economy really good. I like more the 1.6L turbo engine but i don't like the DCT transmission that why i took the regular engine. Good car and i like the outside relift design of 2021.

Love my new Hyundai Kona preferred 2L. It's so responsive, and such a fun beautiful drive. I feel safer too around bad drivers in Ontario, Canada, due to all the safety features. I intend to upgrade to a new one every five years with a good deal again. In comparison I didn't like the Tuscan it felt heavier and more sluggish compared to the Kona.

ADDED Note about the up and coming the Hyundai Kona N.............. We have verified sightings of 2WD Kona N's, with a couple people looking under the Kona N test mule just months ago. So it is a later viable Kona N. Have you heard or seen ANY Kona N AWD's in late testing trim that someone has looked under to verify? We have many people backing out of wanting to buy a Kona N IF it is not AWD. I had money down already and heard 2 solid reports there is no AWD, so I pulled my down payment to hold my spot. What have you heard? It sounds like Hyundai went cheap and only went 2WD with the Kona N. This is an EPIC FAIL FAIL FAIL to over 3/4 of Kona N would be buyers.
@@AsianPetrolhead They would have sold many with AWD....as 2WD the Kona is lifted and heavier. 5 people I know are walking away from the 2WD version that I know of. I guess it will have to be a used Golf R for me now, and others too. People will buy it, but it wont be the icon it could be, it will be an "also ran" and a noted FAILURE by Hyundai. The Kona should be a 2.0 at the very least but a 2.5 liter AWD and be the a Golf R's main competition.
That would be incredibly disappointing if true. They did the same with the K5 GT and Sonata N Line. Massive wheel spin. Just a baffling decision to make the performance models front drive, especially when other trims of the cars have AWD available
If you have the chance, could you test out the MyKeyPremium remote starter module? I have a 2015 Kia Optima Hybrid EX and I would appreciate it if you test out the system. Thanks in advance :D

Like yeah its not "fast" but its fast enough and it looks really fun while being an economical 1.6. Honestly this thing looks like a hoot to drive, man it pulls and handles beautifully. Thats saying a lot for talking about an SUV, a type of car I consider pretty boring usually. Hyundai is quickly becoming one of my favorite car manufacturers.

I like the Elantra N-line better than the Kona N-line, but the Sonata N-line is my favorite by far thanks to the 2.5T/8spd dct powertrain. As far as the Kona wheels go, I agree about the hybrid wheel design being better than the N-line, but actually am not crazy about either one.
A 2020 electric version in comparison blew up in Montreal and wasn't even plugged in, the owners garage door got blown off. Scary .I read it online in the news. Some earlier elantras in 2013 blew up too there were many recalls.
Just the one from what I read. Hyundai dealer said they fix any recalls when I mentioned it before purchasing my Hyundai Kona preferred. 2L. I love this vehicle, you posted a great review.

I am honestly a little let down with this N Line model. It is a trim package more than an actual N model. If they wanted to entice buyers, push more power from the 1.6T and give it a sportier exhaust note. Otherwise its not really offering much more than the standard 1.6T with dct models. And before people say it cannot be done, after market tuning has already pushed well above 220whp from this engine package which is a huge increase from stock and the exhaust note sounds amazing with a simple sport rear muffler.
Well, Michael. Hyundai will roll out the actually N next year with this new Hyundai Kona. And meanwhile, I think Kona N-line is something you can drive as a daily driver. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolheadoh it can be daily driven, but it really doesn't offer anything "new". The ultimate package, trend package and urban trend packages all offer similar if not all the features atleast here in Canada. I am just let down is all. Its like buying an audi A4 s line instead of the S4. Its the "poor mans version". All show with little to no performance improvements. As someone with a 2019 Kona Trend 1.6turbo, this nline is just another model in an already busy line up.
I really like this car, small hatchback on stilts, nice driving :) too bad it doesnt come with a manual. how does the 4wd kona system work ? Is it fwd until traction loss or is it a permanent awd system ? Btw, I love Korea, hopefully I visit one day and drive like this on the roads :D

Kona is just too expensive and doesn't have too much toys installed in it. If you have Chinese cars in S. Korea, then I suggest you try to review the Geely cars who currently owns Volvo right now. The toys that comes along with their cars is definetely a steal specially for the low price tag.

I was cruising about 90~100km/l. Thank you for watching our new Hyundai Kona review.
@@AsianPetrolhead so about 60-65mph?
How do you think about seltos compared to kona
first SUV/CrossOver i've like was the Santa Fe when i saw it in "the walking dead" series
and this compact suv (N line) is really looking very good, nice design and great performance tbh

I liked the video , you were flying through those bends hehehe. Have they improved the dct-7 ? and can you do an off road review in the future just to show how capable it is, using both manual and drive mode? and give us your thought about it? Thank you..again great video
I think DCT-7 is still the same one. Yes, hope to give you off-road test soon in the future. Thanks.
I really liked the kona. Then checked out the Kia Niro. That beats the kona on every level. Only advantage the kona had was AWD. Niro was the way I want to go but waiting for 2021 as the dash is WAY better.
Yes, Kia Niro is very practical car. But this new Hyundai Kona especially with 1.6Turbo looks better and drives a lot more responsibly. Thank you. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. Thank you.

Hi from Greece Charlie, do they going to produce KONA N performance with 280ps ?

Much better looking with facelift, rounding out the bulky cheap look, while this Kona is a great car, and won lots of awards.
Can’t wait for them to show the refreshed electric version of the Kona! Surprised they didn’t include it in this launch...

The Kona is a great city car, I enjoyed the one I took for a test drive.
So what is the difference between 1.6T that we already have in Canada or N-Line? It is a shame that it does not come with 6MT!
Any updates on the Kona N performance?
Not yet. We will give you update as it comes. Thank you for watching our new Hyundai Kona review.
I like that the regular model does not have the fake air vent on the hood, though I suspect all US spec models will probably have the fake hood vents. The thing I like about the N Line is the body colored cladding. Not a fan of grey off color body cladding. Waiting for more info on the full N model. Crossing my fingers it will be AWD but have a feeling I’ll be disappointed, and they’ll make it front drive only.
Yes, I think they are saving the fake air vents for the Hyundai Kona N. Thank you.
I have a 2019 kona with the 2.0L engine. I like to drive this car. Fuel economy really good. I like more the 1.6L turbo engine but i don't like the DCT transmission that why i took the regular engine. Good car and i like the outside relift design of 2021.
Yes, this New Hyundai Kona is quite nice. Love the 1.6L Turbo and DCT is pretty okay. Thank you Amin for tuning in. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. Happy New Year!
Why did you not like the dct?
Well done Hyundai, looks like a small SUV where makes a lot of fun to Drive.
Yes, Hai. This new Hyundai Kona is very fun to take hard corners with.
Love my new Hyundai Kona preferred 2L. It's so responsive, and such a fun beautiful drive. I feel safer too around bad drivers in Ontario, Canada, due to all the safety features. I intend to upgrade to a new one every five years with a good deal again. In comparison I didn't like the Tuscan it felt heavier and more sluggish compared to the Kona.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Hyundai Kona. Yeah, it's a compact yet very capable SUV. Thank you.
Kona is my dream car I wish this is my first car in Gods Grace 🙏☝
Hi Angeline. Yes, hope you get this new Hyundai Kona soon in your area, it's a nice sturdy car! Thank you for tuning in. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. thank you.
Love the Kona one question though is there no police in Korea?? You could never in the states
Please show us the available colors for Kona N line side by side if possible
Yes, next time we will do that. Thank you of watching our new Hyundai Kona.
Is this 1.6 turbo engine the one that the i20N will also use?

What’s the color of the Kona in the video?
Thanks again Charlie. Not our cup of tea, waiting for the Tucson Hybrid in the spring of 2021 here in the USA.
Almost Huyndai models have rear conditioner but why Huyndai still not upgrade it on Kona :(
Hello. Can you switch off the start&stop system for ever?
You have to do it everytime you start the car. Thank you Martin.
ADDED Note about the up and coming the Hyundai Kona N..............
We have verified sightings of 2WD Kona N's, with a couple people
looking under the Kona N test mule just months ago. So it is a later
viable Kona N. Have you heard or seen ANY Kona N AWD's in late testing
trim that someone has looked under to verify? We have many people
backing out of wanting to buy a Kona N IF it is not AWD. I had money
down already and heard 2 solid reports there is no AWD, so I pulled my
down payment to hold my spot. What have you heard? It sounds like
Hyundai went cheap and only went 2WD with the Kona N. This is an EPIC
FAIL FAIL FAIL to over 3/4 of Kona N would be buyers.
Hope to give you update on Hyundai Kona N. Thanks Ted.
@@AsianPetrolhead They would have sold many with AWD....as 2WD the Kona is lifted and heavier. 5 people I know are walking away from the 2WD version that I know of. I guess it will have to be a used Golf R for me now, and others too. People will buy it, but it wont be the icon it could be, it will be an "also ran" and a noted FAILURE by Hyundai. The Kona should be a 2.0 at the very least but a 2.5 liter AWD and be the a Golf R's main competition.
That would be incredibly disappointing if true. They did the same with the K5 GT and Sonata N Line. Massive wheel spin. Just a baffling decision to make the performance models front drive, especially when other trims of the cars have AWD available
I like this refresh. This seems very sporty for what it is.
Hyundai Kona N-line are they available in Ontario Canada
Nice to hear that Steve. Thank you for watching our new Hyundai Kona review.
If you have the chance, could you test out the MyKeyPremium remote starter module? I have a 2015 Kia Optima Hybrid EX and I would appreciate it if you test out the system. Thanks in advance :D

Like yeah its not "fast" but its fast enough and it looks really fun while being an economical 1.6. Honestly this thing looks like a hoot to drive, man it pulls and handles beautifully. Thats saying a lot for talking about an SUV, a type of car I consider pretty boring usually. Hyundai is quickly becoming one of my favorite car manufacturers.
Yes, this 1.6T really pulls nicely all the way up to the redline. And it likes to climb up the redline. Thank you for watching our Hyundai Kona review. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. thank you.
2021 Hyundai Kona N Line.
Look really fantastic good!.👍🏼Wow!.😍
Among the interiors, the dashboard, for example, lacks red N line stitching. 🤔 The front seats, on the other hand, are. 👍🏼

I like the Elantra N-line better than the Kona N-line, but the Sonata N-line is my favorite by far thanks to the 2.5T/8spd dct powertrain. As far as the Kona wheels go, I agree about the hybrid wheel design being better than the N-line, but actually am not crazy about either one.
Yes, this new Hyundai Kona 1.6T is great, too. But yes, i do really look forward to show you the new Hyundai Sonata N-line soon. Stay tuned Wayne.
@@AsianPetrolhead
Looking forward to it and your K5 GT review. Thank you Charlie.
Grande profissional recomendo meus parabéns pelo sucesso 👍
Thank you Adelino for watching our Hyundai Kona review. Mucho Gracias!
All round, a very good small SUV. Not sold on the grille.
Nice car Charlie!
Yes, Miro. This new Hyundai Kona looks quite promising. Thank you.
What about the new electric version!?
A 2020 electric version in comparison blew up in Montreal and wasn't even plugged in, the owners garage door got blown off. Scary .I read it online in the news. Some earlier elantras in 2013 blew up too there were many recalls.
i hope Hyundai will fix that problem ASAP.
Just the one from what I read. Hyundai dealer said they fix any recalls when I mentioned it before purchasing my Hyundai Kona preferred. 2L. I love this vehicle, you posted a great review.
How about fuel efficiency ?

I am honestly a little let down with this N Line model. It is a trim package more than an actual N model. If they wanted to entice buyers, push more power from the 1.6T and give it a sportier exhaust note. Otherwise its not really offering much more than the standard 1.6T with dct models. And before people say it cannot be done, after market tuning has already pushed well above 220whp from this engine package which is a huge increase from stock and the exhaust note sounds amazing with a simple sport rear muffler.
Well, Michael. Hyundai will roll out the actually N next year with this new Hyundai Kona. And meanwhile, I think Kona N-line is something you can drive as a daily driver. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolheadoh it can be daily driven, but it really doesn't offer anything "new". The ultimate package, trend package and urban trend packages all offer similar if not all the features atleast here in Canada. I am just let down is all. Its like buying an audi A4 s line instead of the S4. Its the "poor mans version". All show with little to no performance improvements. As someone with a 2019 Kona Trend 1.6turbo, this nline is just another model in an already busy line up.
Quit your whining.
@@abep.3110 awe, did I hurt someones feelings with a little honest conversation??
@@michaeldavidblunt if that’s what you inferred from a 3 word sentence, your reading comprehension must be at a kindergarten level.

what kind of engine is in the kona?
This Kona has 1.6T inside. Thank you for enjoying the Hyundai Kona review.
I really like this car, small hatchback on stilts, nice driving :) too bad it doesnt come with a manual.
how does the 4wd kona system work ? Is it fwd until traction loss or is it a permanent awd system ?
Btw, I love Korea, hopefully I visit one day and drive like this on the roads :D
if the new jaguar f pace in Korea now please make a review
Yes, I will talk to Jaguar. Thank you for watching our new Hyundai Kona review.
@@AsianPetrolhead thanks
They should put that 2.5 turbo in the kona all wheel drive that thing would fly
yeah, this new Hyundai Kona will really fly then. Thank you.
Cheers great clip👍
I prefer not having the grey plastic surrounds, looks better painted I think
I guess that is why Hyundai has chose to painted the wheel arches. Thanks for enjoying the Hyundai Kona review.

Is it AWD or 4WD...the badge said 4WD.
It's Magna's Dynamax AWD system. There's no center differential. The "lock" button just tells the computer to send power 50-50 front to back.
Kona is just too expensive and doesn't have too much toys installed in it. If you have Chinese cars in S. Korea, then I suggest you try to review the Geely cars who currently owns Volvo right now. The toys that comes along with their cars is definetely a steal specially for the low price tag.
Yes, it's got more expensive, but this new Hyundai Kona has lots of features for a subcompact SUV. Thank you Ed.
