Wow this Kona is shockingly amazing for a sub-compact. I even prefer its interior versus the larger, more expensive Tucson. I'm also surprised at how feature-packed and upscale it looks. Struts for the bonnet which is unheard of for even compact SUVs. The amazing variety of physical controls with no touch BS. Great practicality and clever storage too. Also dig the new steering wheel, infotainment and gauge cluster. Also amazing seat adjustability and power tailgate. I am loving Hyundai's new design, both interior and exterior that started with the Ioniq 5. Looks like a massive improvement over their current vehicles. Very cohesive and sensible designs with great ergonomics and similar to Genesis. I am hoping the Tucson and their other vehicles get facelifts quickly, since they are already starting to look dated compared to the new Kona. I think the Tucson's touch only interior was a huge miss that they should try to change ASAP. I also hope the new Santa Fe will have a similarly nice interior like this Kona.
The Kona N line looks amazing. Bravo Hyundai. If this is their design language for future vehicles, it makes me curious and excited to see the next generation Sonata.
And price too. The chinese are way better than korea for this. Europe is hitted by a huge economical recession. People will now bought judging by the price first.
@@stickygeiden taking into account resale value, Japanese, Korean and Europeans offer far more value than Chinese cars. Nobody wants a used Chinese car, they're so cheap and unreliable, you might as well buy a brand new one. So when you want to upgrade after a few years, the money you get back is far less than something reliable like a Toyota, Hyundai, or Volkswagen.
@@nicktubby9710 you live in the 90's bro. Chinese cars are now really reliable. And all the Europe will see it in the next few years. They are in total advance on EVs technologies. I drove BYD and SAIC cars when i worked in south asia for the last 3 years. And i had not a single fcking problem. Not one. Chinese cars are now like "on sold" cause occidentals like you see them as they were in the 90's. The resale value of new BYDs in Europe is as high as volskwagens just by the leasing estimations.
Greetings from Australia. Like you we drive a Seltos GTLine 1.6T DCT and look forward to testing the new Second Generation KONA NLine in around June/July down here. We are impressed with the features that this new KONA provides for the driver both in comfort and vehicle performance. Particularly impressed amongst other features with the 64Gb SIM to capture recorded image of a “dash cam” function with easily identified access dates and time. We are waiting for your drive test of the NLine - is this still a probability soon? We like your presentation and like you sad to see the departure of the Stinger.
Look forward to seeing the EV edition over the ICE version. Things like flat floor front and back like new Niro EV, a frunk, towing capacity, roof box capacity, interior storage capacity, charging upgrades if any from original max AC & DC rates.
The new Kona N-Line will be an Bestseller if it comes to Germany and Europe. It looks amazing inside and outside. I love this Car. Oh my Gosh. I have to drive it and maybe to buy it.
LOOKS AMAZING! Korean cars are taking over the auto industry there modern design, interiors and Tech are way above japanese cars. Japanese cars look so dated just go look a Toyota corolla cross or Rav4 which are new cars, interior is so old and cheap looking. Well done HYUNDAI!
Detailed info on EV will be out on March and EV itself in April at the earliest. The pre-production model video will probably be the "freshest" KONA EV on TH-cam until then 🥲
......and you are in Seoul at the Exhibition Center that took seven years to be built, just the right building to do this report. We will be there when the cherry blossoms bloom and meanwhile we booked the flights and hotels and chase still a hire car for our Jeju Island visit - cheers for now
Personally i think that specific cupholders place is a really bad design...allot of space wasted insted(and is looks bad) of putting in front and the rest used for many storage Idem 😵💫🥴 keep up with good work 🍻
Amazing how colors distinguish body/lighting desing concepts. The grey looks ugly while the red looks nice. Im not a fan of too much lighting/grill details and taillight's on most vehicles in today's generation
I wish that Hyundai would set a universal baseline for their infotainment OS. I feel like there are about 5 different versions across the range and you get one of them depending on the model. I mean this software of this model (or the one of the Grandeur) looks already more modern that the one of the Ioniq 6 which isn't even released outside of Korea. @CarSceneKorea Is it possible to get some infos of Hyundai regarding this topic?
Starting with Grandeur(limited to domestic market, Korea for now), Hyundai is now implementing an OTA service with unified GUI. The gauge cluster this KONA got is exactly same as that of Grandeur's, and Hyundai proposed that the OTA will be available across all the latest Hyundais to come. There might be a delay making that as a global standard due to many reasons that can't be listed here, but Korea got the head start, why not the rest.
The 2024 Kona family has the best design of the aerodynamic flat wheels. They are very geometric and sick. Unlike the flat wheels of other manufacturers that are very tacky.
Thank you for your informative video. Look forward to seeing your test drive video of Kona. Love the overall look of this small ev. Can not wait to hear more about the ev version.
Whe have been shown all body coloured versions in Europe which I have to say look much better than the two one plastic cladding. Keeping the car all one colour makes it look more premium.
Real buttons AND no piano gloss black vomit?! This just went right to the top of my list when I get something next year. Hopefully the US gets the hybrid version this time.
I was literally just thinking today the old one is looking really dated especially interior! However this one looks amazing! Hope it comes to the uk!! Love the little details like morse code on the wheel! Yes buttons inside not haptic nonsense!
I need some time for the design to sync in. The front got inspirations from Kia Sportage. Did not much like the back lights. I had similar thoughts on the Ionic 5 too but once I saw that car in person, started liking it more than EV6.
They keep forgeting one thing - LOCK CAR button in the rear lift gate. I dont know why they only install open/close button there, so you must always go to the doors to push the lock button or press the keyfob.
You don't introduce dimension differences between 2 generations?? We want to know specs, like length, width, headroom, mechanical information, HP, torque etc. etc.
The exterior updates on the Kona look great, and I am so happy they are keeping regular buttons in the interior, but the new door cards are so plain that they remind me of a blah 90's rental car. They really stick out, and not in a great way IMO.
Really love Hyundai's design and your review bro! If you don't mind , could you do a favour for the Hong Kong Hyundai lovers and tell Hyundai admins in Korea that the only Hong Kong agent of Hyundai (Zung Fu) is killing Hyundai. They refuse to provide stock to Hong Kong buyers and maintain their profit with other car brands.
20.370 USD, that would be a fantastic price für this car, but I promise, that the car will cost nearly 40.000 Euros in Germany, when it will be delivered.
Maybe you made the latest Korean Hyundai Trago tractor for my friend to see, not the Hd1000 imported to Vietnam is not very good. Please make 1 tractor for my friend to see Hyundai Trago 440ps or 520ps
It looks weird! The front and rear lights don’t seem to fit the body of the car! And the interior is just more or less the same again! There’s a lack of creativity by Hyundai. A bit disappointed I must admit 👎
No rear seat footage! That's what I wanted to see the most. Rear seat space has been very tight in the previous generations. Looks, fit and finish get an A+!
Hyundai calls the second row seats a Bench-like seat this time. You could have a fair amount of seating time on the second row, but the first ones are much better, of course. The seat quality itself may not have been upgraded by much, but the increased leg room plays a huge difference.
Now that I've seen the production model in full light with the full walkaround, the design isn't terrible. I still think the light bar is design gimmick and serves no purpose other than to scream, "We think this is the future of car design!" Not a fan of the size increase either Still think the front end is weird. I feel Hyundai is really wanting to push into the EV market as well as "futurist car design", so they designed all the Kona variations with this design instead of designing all their EV models along the same design esthetic and leaving the ICE/Hybrids with their own esthetic. Ultimately, I think Hyundai should just offshoot 'Ioniq' as their EV brand, like Genesis is for Luxury. Overall, I appreciate the video!
GRAYDEN is it? apparently you no nothing about cars.And your a hyundai hater .This brand has surpassed even the best car manufactures in the world. No one would have though this , but it has happend .It dominates and wins many awards, like it or not, they are here to slay and to stay..Get on board and educate yourself, you may like it ....
Bold move indeed. There's definitely a pro&con implementing a unified design to every single car for that - using Hyundai's term here - Hyundai Look. They're just getting started, so let's see how they turn out to be. We have three cars with Seamless Horizon Lamp - first Staria, Grandeur(domestic only) and this KONA - and they all give very different sensation overall, I believe. Thanks for sharing your thought!
I recently picked up a 2023 Kona N-Line and I’m glad I didn’t wait around for the 2024. In my opinion the 2024 is trying too hard. The interior is superior tho!
Great reviuw, thanks! This car seems to tick all the boxes, well done Hyundai. And many physical buttoms and knobs.... Yes please! Just check out that genius up and down temperature knob, instead of these touch - sliding - from - left - to - right nonsens stuff. Over all great looking interior. If not too expensive, it will be a hit
The N-Line is gorgeous. I love the standard features, I can't wait to be disappointed about how stripped down and yet more expensive the US model is in comparison. 😐
@@carloscervantes836 Yeah, the Golf R still stands alone if you’re looking for an AWD performance hatch. You pay through the nose to get it, though unfortunately.
I cant believe they don’t sell a hybrid Kona in USA . I loved it during a test drive, but didn’t buy it due to the gas milage…. I really needed 40mpg and an EV is just not practical for the long trips I drive.
i much prefer the 2023 kona n-line body style tbh....the side profile of this 2024 looks very box like ...square on the back and the way the nose of the hood sticks out on the front doesnt do it for me.....sorry i know im in the minority but its just my first impression based on looks. i do like the spoiler tho 🤘
This gives me great anxiety. I am think about replacing my Elantra Hybrid with an EV. Ioniq 5, 6, or 2024 Kona EV? Especially in US we don't get the tax benefit anymore. If priced right, this Kona is going to sell fast...
And people getting a Honda because??? Reliable? Lol Hyundai has been more reliable and JD powers puts them higher on vehicles with less problems. Hyundai makes amazing cars, lots of tech, good design, for less cash and reliable.. Bonus 5/100k warranty
723 Liters (based on SAE) is the number I have on the official report. I wasn't able to get a precise number on the trunk other than that, so decided to use it instead. I honestly don't know what SAE standard is exactly 🥲 It increased by 30% more than the predecessor, simply put.
I noticed that when the Hyundai Kona N Line appeared at the New York Auto show below the front headlight was an incandescent turn signal. In other pictures I've seen the front turn signal is 3 frosted bars. I always thought that was real cool. What is the U.S. getting the incandescent or the horizontal bars?
What was shown in the NYA would be what the NA and the US are getting. Specs differ depending on a country to another, especially with lights. I'm with you on that thought!
I have a 22 NLine. Not a big fan of this exterior design. Too chunky looking. Dashboard looks like a taxi. Hate that new shifter on the column. I may look at the Tucson or go back to Subaru.
Still wired Apple Car play? Makes the wireless charger kinda redundant. Shame that Hyundai and Kia can’t get their act together on this. They must know that most consumers want wireless phone connection yet they can’t/won’t do it 🤷♂
was hoping the new model would'nt have all the horrible black plastic around the wheel guards - can only get rid of it if you order the expensive N models so we bought elsewhere

Those four dots could be possibly for the temperature control

Love this new kona it's gorgeous

When new KONA hits market it will double sales numbers in Europe. Design is really important
And price too. The chinese are way better than korea for this. Europe is hitted by a huge economical recession. People will now bought judging by the price first.

Glad you like it! 👍
Love it! Hope it releases in the United States soon. I know my GF wants an EV version.
Things are slowly getting better around the globe, fingers crossed!
Thanks for the information , i bought 1 month ago Kona Hybrid N Line , big step from i20 to kone , now i will wait till January to get my car :D
Good choice, you got the best of both, hybrid and N-Line 🎉
Absolutely gorgeous automobile..can't wait for them to reach dealership in US..think I'll just get me one..

I have to agree and say it's a bad design, but is really practical!
ヒュンダイは格安路線から高級、スタイリッシュ路線に変えてきましたよね
最近のヒュンダイめちゃくちゃ好きだしかっこいいし乗りたい！
ただ日本だと政治的な理由で韓国を嫌う人が一定数いるのでそれは難しいかも、、、泣

The EV battery size ? How quickly does it charge ? The range in miles and kilometres ? Many thanks. 😅😊
No info on EVs is released yet officially. Speculations are that it'd be at least same, if not slightly better than the latest Kia Niro EV.
I think the old Kona N looks more aggressive 😅
Absolutely correct, my friend. But apparently "aggressive" is not in this year. ~sigh~
Would have been nice to see the back seats. Hopefully in the next one
Given the time constraint, I had priorities, but boi, I didn't know I skipped the entire second row seat :P Will def capture it on my test drive!

Indeed.
Will there be a new Kona N!!???!
No news about that.
Real buttons AND no piano gloss black vomit?! This just went right to the top of my list when I get something next year. Hopefully the US gets the hybrid version this time.
Looks incredible! Any idea when this might be available in the states?
It roughly takes 3 to 6 months(or more) on an average to reach other parts of the globe after launch in Korea.
I was literally just thinking today the old one is looking really dated especially interior! However this one looks amazing! Hope it comes to the uk!! Love the little details like morse code on the wheel! Yes buttons inside not haptic nonsense!
I totally agree!
Kona's headlight is placed at the riskiest place in the name of aesthetics. Such placement removed the usage of foglamps completely.
I need some time for the design to sync in. The front got inspirations from Kia Sportage. Did not much like the back lights. I had similar thoughts on the Ionic 5 too but once I saw that car in person, started liking it more than EV6.
Just bought the N-Line S Lux , but won’t get it until September 😢
They keep forgeting one thing - LOCK CAR button in the rear lift gate. I dont know why they only install open/close button there, so you must always go to the doors to push the lock button or press the keyfob.
Actually you can configure on the main info screen to auto open / close when 3m from rear of car
The pricing here in the US is $21,999 for the SE FWD. I'm guessing just the SE will hit 24k. The N-Line will be 33k-34k guaranteed
Price (direct conversion from Korean price in WON to USD):
1.6 Turbo 2,537만원 ($20,370 USD)
Smartstream, 8spd automatic
198hp, 27.0kgfm
13km/L
2.0 NA 2,468만원 ($19,815 USD)
smartstream, IVT
149hp, 18.3kgfm
13.6km/L(17” tires)
1.6 HEV *3,119만원 ($25,042 USD)
*before subsidy
6spd DCT
105hp(all together 141hp), 14.7kfgm(all together 27.0kgfm)
19.8km/L
The u.s will definitely don't get all those feature Korea get
Great video again! It looks like there is a big(ger) sunroof. Is that right?
A typical one, not wide sunroof.
Amazing, i love this car
I'd love a neoteric yellow N. Highly appreciate your great work!

Thanks for sharing your thought. There certainly is a compromise KONA had to make, perhaps that could be one.
1:48 The fixing cost is gonna be expensive. There’s a lot high tech in the matrix light. Not a good design.

Great looking car. I might have to buy one!
If I were in the market, I'd definitely be serous of getting one - FYI, I have 2023 Kia Seltos as a daily :)
20.370 USD, that would be a fantastic price für this car, but I promise, that the car will cost nearly 40.000 Euros in Germany, when it will be delivered.
Maybe you made the latest Korean Hyundai Trago tractor for my friend to see, not the Hd1000 imported to Vietnam is not very good. Please make 1 tractor for my friend to see Hyundai Trago 440ps or 520ps

Pardon me for getting back late. There are rear seat footage on my later vids.
Why the stinginess in the volume of the fuel tank...why the stinginess in the soft seats on bumps like American cars..I don't understand..
I was waiting for new Kona, but lights in corners are no go for me :((
The back seat! Is it just as sardine can like as the old Kona?
Hyundai calls the second row seats a Bench-like seat this time. You could have a fair amount of seating time on the second row, but the first ones are much better, of course. The seat quality itself may not have been upgraded by much, but the increased leg room plays a huge difference.
Looks good. But this headlights design will be a huge setback in populated automotive industry. Why hyundai? Whyyyy??

What is the % price increase from the Korean Kona? That could help to tell how much can end up costing the US and other markets versions.
A bit less than 10%
Great and beautiful cars,I buy one,cute.
Outsite looks quiet right, insite, same als new models Kia.
Just Hyunday Company.
Hyundai has really not embraced soft touch materials, great new designs, plastic interior that will slice you to death in a rollover

Ticks all the boxes, indeed.
German engineering at work…….Japanese cars are truly example they don’t like cheating or fake it to make it

we are waiting eager for the santa fe..
The N-Line is gorgeous. I love the standard features, I can't wait to be disappointed about how stripped down and yet more expensive the US model is in comparison. 😐
I would like to trade my 22 Kona N with all its cut down features for a EV Kona N with AWD any day but no AWD for full N model so far.
@@carloscervantes836 Yeah, the Golf R still stands alone if you’re looking for an AWD performance hatch. You pay through the nose to get it, though unfortunately.
Hi Bjrs
Tx for this video
Amicalement de France
Merci d'avoir regardé!
I cant believe they don’t sell a hybrid Kona in USA . I loved it during a test drive, but didn’t buy it due to the gas milage…. I really needed 40mpg and an EV is just not practical for the long trips I drive.
I too think Hyundai Motor Group HEVs are the best in the family 👍
i much prefer the 2023 kona n-line body style tbh....the side profile of this 2024 looks very box like ...square on the back and the way the nose of the hood sticks out on the front doesnt do it for me.....sorry i know im in the minority but its just my first impression based on looks. i do like the spoiler tho 🤘
Same here!
This gives me great anxiety. I am think about replacing my Elantra Hybrid with an EV. Ioniq 5, 6, or 2024 Kona EV? Especially in US we don't get the tax benefit anymore. If priced right, this Kona is going to sell fast...
And people getting a Honda because??? Reliable? Lol
Hyundai has been more reliable and JD powers puts them higher on vehicles with less problems.
Hyundai makes amazing cars, lots of tech, good design, for less cash and reliable.. Bonus 5/100k warranty
Certainly has come a long way.
apparently the n-line isnt getting full led lighting in the US :/ bummer
are you sure the trunk volume is over 700 liters? maybe folding the back seats....and if it is 30% bigger, it should be around 460 liters, right?
723 Liters (based on SAE) is the number I have on the official report. I wasn't able to get a precise number on the trunk other than that, so decided to use it instead. I honestly don't know what SAE standard is exactly 🥲 It increased by 30% more than the predecessor, simply put.
The headlights in the place where more scratches get, its a big NO NO
The lights look weird without the black cladding
Why the hell did they use a brushed aluminum look for the dashboard area
I still may get new kona
I noticed that when the Hyundai Kona N Line appeared at the New York Auto show below the front headlight was an incandescent turn signal. In other pictures I've seen the front turn signal is 3 frosted bars. I always thought that was real cool. What is the U.S. getting the incandescent or the horizontal bars?
What was shown in the NYA would be what the NA and the US are getting. Specs differ depending on a country to another, especially with lights. I'm with you on that thought!
Hopping the EV model is gonna be AWD 😥😥😥
I have a 22 NLine. Not a big fan of this exterior design. Too chunky looking. Dashboard looks like a taxi. Hate that new shifter on the column. I may look at the Tucson or go back to Subaru.
Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about the shifter to the column? Thought it's an upgrade in every aspect.
Awesome design of new Kona interestingly it looks much better than ugly new Verna Hyundai should replace it with Creta in India 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks 🇮🇳
King of SUV's is the BMW X3 and the X5. Surely no car from Korea. 🇩🇪
Still wired Apple Car play? Makes the wireless charger kinda redundant. Shame that Hyundai and Kia can’t get their act together on this. They must know that most consumers want wireless phone connection yet they can’t/won’t do it 🤷♂
The articles that I have read did not commit to a PHEV in the US. Do you know?
Haven't heard a thing about PHEV for KONA yet.
King of SUV...... are you kidding me. Porsche cayenne, Landrover, etc, they are Kings of SUV
No room for KONA in that etc.? 🥲
was hoping the new model would'nt have all the horrible black plastic around the wheel guards - can only get rid of it if you order the expensive N models so we bought elsewhere
