I just bought a 2024 Kona Limited and your videos are part of what helped me make my decision. I wish more reviewers would do a night time review to go over interior and exterior lighting.
Wish there was a video like yours for every car that gets produced. I've always been interested in how lights look like on cars and reviewers never even mention these aspects
I do a night video for a lot of new vehicles. You may find one you are interested in. Here is a playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLREQk5CdNhC6seeve9Vzb97pK5Otf1Qfu.html
Great review. I have a 2024 Kona Limited and it has the interior ambient lighting which the N Line does not have. It helps a lot. I watch and enjoy all your videos.
The N line has ambient lightning, he just didn’t turn it on from the settings, I went to the Hyundai website and compared the Trim levels just to be sure and it says standard on the N line
Australia gets the Ambient lighting on the Premium (similar to Limited) but you can get Premium with N-Line which carries over the ambient lighting. Our N-line and Premium also get LED turn signals. Australia also gets dual zone Climate on ALL trims... and some other things such as a space saver spare . Different things in different regions.
I just bought a 2024 N line a couple weeks ago and it does have ambiant lighting in the door pockets, storage area in the dash, cell phone charging area and other areas. I know the N lines sold in Canada are a little different from the U.S. version.
@@kanesanders6669 The N line is the top trim level in Canada, and apparently others. In the US, the top trim level is the Limited which has the regular body style and ambient lighting. The N line is the second highest trim in the US, and for some reason and they took away some of the features compared to other countries

Day/Night; Stationary/Road Test; Controls ; Appearance ; Likes/Dislikes; Possible Improvements; Price; Etc., Etc.,Etc. You have a critical eye and you are a man who exemplifies the joy in practicing his craft ! You are very good at what you do and the hand pointer is unique and original!!! Keep up the good work and you are at the top of your game in this auto review business ! Your review channel is a must see and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comprehensive review! THX ---Rich.
I have an n series top of the line everything..just because im retiring in 2 yrs and got the lease for 2 yrs..it is a beautiful beautiful girl..I have had numerous compliments..nice
Those screens are also perfectly bright for when you have the sun right in front of you at sunrise or sunset. It is kind of surprising how well you can see the screens in those conditions.
There' is a light in the front doors under the panel where the window and lock controls are snd also in that small little shelf just above the glove compartment and uts a mood lighting system so you can choose the colors ,I know this cause I own a 2024 Kona N line and I have mine currently at purple and so if you have some items in the pocket or the shelf you see them so well especially at night go on the screen icons and hit illumination you will see the settings for the mood lighting guide
So at the dealership it didn't look like that long skinny center light in the front end that the middle part was working? Is it that it has to be really dark to tell the middle part of that light is working?
looking at getting one of these in ultimate trim. Presently comparing it to a 2024 crosstrek limited, or a CX-30 GT. Its such a hard choice to decide between these 3!
Weird I have a 2024 n line ultimate and that little shelf on the passenger side is illuminated and my driver's doors are lite as well so you may have an issue
I would definitely go with the 2024 Hyundai Kona. I have the 2024 Hyndai Kona SEL with convenience package and its awesome. I kind of wish I got the N-line as it didnt cost much more. the 2.0 gets better gas mileage though. That is a tough choice as the HR-V is a solid competitor
The N-line looks a lot better and has a better infotainment screen and instrument cluster screen. The shift by wire gear selector clears up space in the middle so cables wont get in the way. The HRV just might be slightly more comfortable with the better arm rests. The interior dimensions are almost identical between the two
Unlikely to be reliable in the long run, especially since this one has turbo i think, its going to end up burning oil and needing turbo repairs in the 100,000 miles range or near that most likely.
Hi. I have a 2019 1.6 litre turbo Kona highlander. Absolutely love it. I’m in Australia though so may be different badge over in the US. I’ve had no trouble at all with it. Mind I’ve only done 42,000 ks. Been serviced regularly. I’m buying a new Kona N line premium Tuesday. I love the new model. Much more goodies than mine. Almost same colour. Yellow but it looks lime green to me. Body kit. I don’t think you can go wrong.
I cannot understand why these companies still insist on going with LED lighting as well as halogen on the exterior. Just make it all LED lighting for gods sake.
USA version of n line does not have full LED strip and there is no ultimate n line version in USA yet. Only limited has that and programmable ambient lighting. Still going with the N line. That black cladding on the lower trims and limited version is awful.
I know not all salesmen are informative but they need to let people know about the light across the front is not to be used as forward lighting. Edited after the fact. RUNNING LIGHTS/DRLs are not headlights. They’re running lights for safety not for night time driving. Forward lighting was misinterpreted apparently.
@@civertron9784 that’s not what I’m talking about. It’s not to be used as headlights as forward lighting. People mistake it being bright enough and don’t know they need to turn the actual switch to turn the running lights and headlights on.
@@jackmemphis777 I’ve noticed a lot of Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and Honda owners who didn’t realize their running lights were not their actual headlights.

Great review Mike ,,,,We just bought one of these ,N line in Cosmic gray pearl. Great vehicle , we really love it. . Again Great nite shot.

Uk konan line s has ambient lighting
Thanks for doing this video. Night time illumination us a big factor for me. I like the Kona's new design. Thanks for sharing.
Night reviews are the best

Thank you for your positive feedback Rich :)
picking mine up in a couple days.. cant wait!
Thanks for the video! I’m getting my Kona next week and was curious about how the headlights would perform during night drives. They look great!
Looks like 2 reversing lights....nice..any special reversing sound?
Does the '24 not have ambient lighting? My '25 N-Line I got yesterday has multi-color ambient lighting that lights up everything.
I have an n series top of the line everything..just because im retiring in 2 yrs and got the lease for 2 yrs..it is a beautiful beautiful girl..I have had numerous compliments..nice
I still like that it welcomes me..good afternoon frank..drive safely!..thanks beautiful
It talks to you ?
Does your one come with amp lighting around the console area and door area?
Do the front lights illuminate the side that you’re turning into?

Do you live in the USA?
Canada
The only 2024 Kona trim that has mood lighting in the US is the limited trim. I suppose it is different in Canada
Here is USA features: www.hyundainews.com/assets/documents/original/56996-2024KonaFeatures082323.pdf
Uk we have ambient light colours in doors etc
For a Hyundai that's not exotic at all, this is an unusually good-looking car.
Do you know if these have wireless apple play
Yes, wireless Apple. I bought the premium n-line, has it all 🙌
What country are you in, that it doesn’t have ambient lighting on the n line?
USA
So the red stripes only available for the limited edition or all type?
I really hope Hyundai reconsiders not making a Kona N for this new gen Kona. So much better looking than the previous gen.
why?...mine looks pretty..juicy back end and very pretty front..I love it!
So at the dealership it didn't look like that long skinny center light in the front end that the middle part was working? Is it that it has to be really dark to tell the middle part of that light is working?
Yes, it is much brighter on the ends and fades significantly in the middle.
Inthink trim level also makes a différence if it’s a full led or partial sides are lit
Be aware, the fully illuminated edge to edge horizon bar (on the front) is only available on the Limited trim in the U.S.
Middle part lights up automatically at night. For daytime it’s just the left and right ends of the strip that light up 🙌
looking at getting one of these in ultimate trim. Presently comparing it to a 2024 crosstrek limited, or a CX-30 GT. Its such a hard choice to decide between these 3!
I had the same problem 😂,,I end up bought the Kona. How about you?
I just bought a Hyundai Kona and it has ambient lights...that shelf is iluminated. Strange...maybe yours doesn't have that option.
Weird I have a 2024 n line ultimate and that little shelf on the passenger side is illuminated and my driver's doors are lite as well so you may have an issue
What cars have the best lighting? Is the Kona better than the average?
love that little yellow hand LOL
Watch this, after I got my kona, it does have ambient light inside must be turned on and you can choose the colour found this after I bought mine😅
@rebeccawhitton6991 do you live in USA?
Currently debating between getting a 2024 Hyundai Kona N-Line or a 2024 Honda HR-V EX-L and it is so difficult
I would definitely go with the 2024 Hyundai Kona. I have the 2024 Hyndai Kona SEL with convenience package and its awesome. I kind of wish I got the N-line as it didnt cost much more. the 2.0 gets better gas mileage though. That is a tough choice as the HR-V is a solid competitor

The HRV just might be slightly more comfortable with the better arm rests. The interior dimensions are almost identical between the two
Is the car reliable ? What are the Pro and Con ?
Unlikely to be reliable in the long run, especially since this one has turbo i think, its going to end up burning oil and needing turbo repairs in the 100,000 miles range or near that most likely.

It's a pity that the indicators don't have LED bulbs in them. they thought they would be brighter and more efficient !
The U.S. version of the N-Line does NOT have a fully illuminated horizon bar across the front hood…only the Limited features that.
What size tires and rims?
th-cam.com/video/ST6sCQodVE4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VXC1rrL0xK5KzWY5&t=50
I'm naming Kona “Tony Stark”
Unfortunately, not on the English n line, you don't get full bar lighting on the front, fact
The nline has ambient lighting
www.hyundainews.com/assets/documents/original/56996-2024KonaFeatures082323.pdf
not in the US it doesnt
I cannot understand why these companies still insist on going with LED lighting as well as halogen on the exterior. Just make it all LED lighting for gods sake.
Unusual light cluster placement...quite low and to the side....have mixed feelings about it.
2025 has the lights missing
USA version of n line does not have full LED strip and there is no ultimate n line version in USA yet. Only limited has that and programmable ambient lighting. Still going with the N line. That black cladding on the lower trims and limited version is awful.

@@Crvowner2022 who makes that mistake? That sounds ridiculous
@@jackmemphis777 a lot of Nissan owners, Honda and I believe a few Toyota owners.

Yes you are.
Which model does the spoiler come on?
N line
