  • The 2022 Hyundai Kona N is here. Actually, Hyundai will announce this new Hyundai Kona N this coming July here in Korea. But Hyundai have prepared a track day for journalists to show what this new Hyundai N - Kona N is capable of. This Kona N has the 2.0 Turbocharged gasoline engine making about 280hp and 290lb.ft of torque (290ps when NGS is used - so it makes a bit more power compared to Veloster N), engine is mated to wet type 8 speed Dual Clutch Transmission and unfortunately, this Hyundai Kona N only comes with FWD. We had time behind the wheel on both the public road and on the racetrack. So, enjoy the Track experience with Kona N, LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!

    Looks like a fun little car and a great track layout with plenty of undulations. Makes you wonder how they found what looks to be the flattest piece of land in Korea to build the F1 circuit on back in the day..
    Looking forward to seeing this when it lands in Australia!

    Hey cool video! I switched from the Kona 1.6 liter to the Kona N 2.0 liter about 1 month ago and can only confirm that there is a huge difference. The car is noticeably better on the road, has noticeably more power and looks sportier inside and out. The comfort seats are also more comfortable, hold you better and are not only heated but also ventilated. In addition, the armrests on the doors are padded and not just made of hard plastic. My recommendation, if Kona then the Kona N or if you want to drive slowly and economically the very small 3 cylinder Kona. The 1.6 liter is not a good idea. It consumes a lot of petrol, but spoils the fun of driving because of the small brakes and poor chassis. I wish you a good trip!

    I purchased my Sonic Blue Kona N for MSRP from Earnhardt Hyundai in North Scottsdale, AZ, at the end of May 2022. It now has 2112 miles on the odometer, most of which were accumulated on freeways over long distances and substantial changes in elevation. Confession being good for the soul, I must plead guilty to committing the ultimate N Sin: I've been driving the car in "Normal" mode almost exclusively since I bought it, and have only experimented with N mode a time or two. With the Kona N, "Normal" is anything but Granny Mode: The car is just so damn nifty-quick, the handling is confidence-inspiring, and the suspension feels just right. It's immensely satisfying to drive as-is, but it's also reassuring to know it is capable of delivering so much more ... under controlled conditions on the track.

    • @AsianPetrolhead
      @AsianPetrolhead  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, it's a brand new car, you just gotta give it sometime. And after an oil change, you can do all the N mode you want. Thanks ronforemna for giving us update.

    Thanks for the review. I have a 2018 1.6T AWD Kona and really like it. It’s hard to explain but it feels like whoever designed it was a car enthusiast. No mechanical issues or rattles yet also. The N Kona doesn’t come with AWD but I feel that I don’t need the AWD function since I rarely drive in snow here in Northern California. When the N Kona comes to my local Hyundai dealer I will check it out. It has about 100 more horse power than my Kona and my Kona is already pretty perky.

    I took my very tall wife to try out what Hyundai had to offer. She loved both the Veloster (which has far more interior room than you'd expect) and the Kona. So getting a more powerful iteration of the Kona is a good thing, and puts it back on our shortlist for the new vehicle.
    North American highways need more from an engine, especially in the mountains where we live. You can use vehicles with lower displacement or less horsepower, but you'll be slow, and end up frustrated behind traffic, or the one who frustrates others. This Kona N keeps that from happening.
