This car is really worth it. We got almost the same spec as the europeans get. Full fledged Hyundai safety sense + 1.6 Turbo + 7 speed DCT. Please buy people before they killed it off due to bad sales
Awesome video, I test drove it as well, waiting for one to be delivered (next week) and had the same reaction, smiling the whole drive. Sporty, small SUV with a lot of fancy tech :). Upgrading from suzuki swift 2008, small turning circle, very easy fro manouvres & I gotta say, it's almost literally no difference in handling the steer between that small suzuki and this one, just x1000 improvement on all the rest.
Great video, as usual, sir. How did the car fare when driving from complete stop @ in slow traffic? I noticed some judder when the car started to move after a red light. How was it compare to other DCT? Thanks in advance.
Uncle Khong!!! I think you should give it a try to Hyundai Santafe 2.2 Diesel, I owned it for 2011 model, yet still a good car for me.. Hyundai is a good car!! damn!!

@@YSKhongDriving Yes I see but my hope was that a fan from Malaysia with that car would come by. Or do you mean this car has never been on the MY market?
Best la uncle ada paddle shifters, tapi harga over price coz CBU unit form Korea. Kalau harga sama dgn harga X50 flagship, sy lebih suka pada model Kona sebab sy sudah selesa dgn model Korea.
actually in terms of specs sama je ngan countryman s yang harga 240k. tapi kona dpt more safety features at cheaper price. lebih fair compare dgn sporty SUV mcm tu. size pon lebih kurang, kira mini suv. cuma countryman ni engine dia considered senang untuk tune lah, sebab org Msia consider dah familiar
Superb testing Brother especially at cornering..I have two questions. 1) What a about NVH & Handling if compare to X70. 2) The overall comparison to X70 Premium X. Thanks Brother ❤️
@@YSKhongDriving ya cx3 drove really well unfortunately its a bit unpractical for the space, however kona turbo price is really close to a used 2019/2020 cx5 turbo, perhaps for the price a used cx5 turbo/2.5 is more worth?
🤔 Nice car, but all these new "safety" features are getting ridiculous, who is their target customer, the short sighted 😜. Luckily you can turn it all off, it'd drive me nuts 😀👍

Damn….when i saw uncle turning into the corner with that speed and screaming tyre…im impressed by the car and UNCLE’s SKILLS

I'm interested in buying one here in the USA, but have heard about some of the DCT's having real hard/clunky shift issues. That's somewhat concerning.

Uncle Khong is the coolest car reviewer.
Tested on a short drive, nice power. Please do a Genting drive soon 😀
Uncle Ys mmg pro driving...!!!
Lost count, how many round uncle takes corners.. but surely its put smile on ur face..
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hahaha. There was some traffic, so had to slow for some
Love the car handling test 😉. Thanks YS.
Excellent driving Sir. Syabas!
Nice review as always uncle!
Seronok tengok uncle Corner dengan Kona walaupun cuak jugak takut terbabas tu 😂
Great video, as usual, sir. How did the car fare when driving from complete stop @ in slow traffic? I noticed some judder when the car started to move after a red light. How was it compare to other DCT? Thanks in advance.
No issues. It might have been the video, but the car does not judder
It will be nice to see Uncle YS put this car through the pace at Genting. 😃
Later we hope to see this happen.
Uncle Khong!!! I think you should give it a try to Hyundai Santafe 2.2 Diesel, I owned it for 2011 model, yet still a good car for me.. Hyundai is a good car!! damn!!
Another great video uncle.. just wondering how is the NVH level in this SUV.. is it quiet?
Yes, it is quiet.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for the reply uncle, stay safe and god bless
Fuyooh! It's rim design is making my eye blur2 😵😵😵
YS, looks like a good choice for B segment, except for the price relatively. Wow, the handling.....the way you drove it....viewers sweat more....🤔
I like the review. The car gives a lot of punch!
Yes!
Uncle Khong, what is the PS that you were mentioning? How can I tell if the specs doesnt provide the PS information? Thanks!
I am not suemre what you mean. You can check the Hyundai website for the piwer figures.

Thank you. I am not going out for a while yet.
Uncle can you please review a Subaru Forester XT (production model 2013-2018) with the 2,0 Turbo and CVT (240HP)
We don't have the vehicles.
@@YSKhongDriving Yes I see but my hope was that a fan from Malaysia with that car would come by. Or do you mean this car has never been on the MY market?
My x50 just won’t come. May get this. Any 5 yr free maint promo?…
Good move.

Superb testing Brother especially at cornering..I have two questions.
1) What a about NVH
& Handling if compare
to X70.
2) The overall comparison
to X70 Premium X.
Thanks Brother ❤️
X70 lose in both aspects u mentioned
This one is fun to drive
X70 more towards comfort and relaxing driving, a cruiser I'll say.
Nvh sure x70 better. This one for younger man…
@@djtan3313 …for younger doesnt mean the NVH is bad la…. This hyundai kona nvh most probably better than x70.
is this the best handling b sec suv currently on the market?
The CX3 handles just as well.
@@YSKhongDriving ya cx3 drove really well unfortunately its a bit unpractical for the space, however kona turbo price is really close to a used 2019/2020 cx5 turbo, perhaps for the price a used cx5 turbo/2.5 is more worth?
Hi Y S, how the NVH of the Kona N Line?
Quite good. Most of what you hear are the tyres.
Does it feel cheap and nasty on the inside compared to a German car when it comes to the choice of materials fit and finish?
Actually the quality of the interior is better than many cars. Korean cars have come a long way.
@@YSKhongDriving Thanks
Did I miss out something, there's no N mode?
ECO,NORMAL and Sport. N is normal.
That's for N model. This 1 is N Line. Same powertrain with turbo version with N cosmetic
Petrol consumption?
Hahaha, so you didn't watch the whole video.
How to arrange for test drive?…
PM
May be tomorrow can...
PM announced Car sales and distribution centres allowed tomorrow (16/08/2021).
I like Hyundai N line but kona is just too small for me.... Cant wait for the elantra N line though
Take the Tucson, or Santa Fe. They are C and D segment respectively
Doesn't seem to have much body roll...or is it due to Uncle's driving skills? 😁
Hahaha, the chassis is very rigid, well built.
@@YSKhongDriving Can Mr Ys Khong Test Drive The All New Elantra because I want to buy the cars and I want to see how you drive the cars.
@@YSKhongDriving Uncle can you make test drive for Hyundai elantra 2021.
is it poor man golf gti? with jacked up body
Not really, but it is a very nice pakage if you are looking for a powerful affordable SUV.
dear khong, im ady 61 n no way my driving skills just dont match yr standards. Fuyoh.
I am 70.
🤔 Nice car, but all these new "safety" features are getting ridiculous, who is their target customer, the short sighted 😜.
Luckily you can turn it all off, it'd drive me nuts 😀👍
Hahaha. I turn it off most of the time, but there are others who love it. I guess you are old school, like me.
myvi gt
Same as me, will switch off most of it, even esp on some occasions
Strawberries takin over. The horror.
Btw, covid is BS.
This one kona 1.6 no goyang2 🤣
You can see from the video.
