Hey Ed, very nice to finally see the new model arriving in dealerships! I'm patiently waiting on my 2024 EV (ordered/waitlisted)... Can't wait to see it in real life!
Great review Ed, waiting on my 2 litre non turbo Kona in Australia. Thanks for going through all the functions on the steering wheel. Waiting to see you drive impressions
Every 24 Kona has wireless carplay... Only the 23 and prior had it omitted in trims with navigation. But that issue has been finally solved. All new redesigned models 24 or newer have wireless across all trims
Hey Ed! Loved watching all your videos on your EV journey. Quick question for you - I read a while ago that the outstanding lawsuit over the wireless Apple Carplay issue was finally settled and the 2024 Kona would have wireless Apple Carplay. I have a 2023 Elantra Luxury and was wondering if you knew if there would be a software update to allow some of the older models to have it as well. Cheers from Ottawa!
I heard about that as well, unfortunately I'm not aware of any plans to do updates that add that functionality. However there's a very good chance that they will add it via an update.. In the meantime if you want to add Apple CarPlay Android Auto, wirelessly. There are several products on the market that can do it, and they're pretty cheap.
Curious to see an N Line with LED turn signals. I hope that's an option because i think the standard N Line, they are regular incandescent turn signals.
I am debating whether I should pull the trigger on getting a hybrid sonata or hybrid Elantra. I like the Elantra's design better but I want the new Sonata's AWD, hard decisions...
Great Review Ed Can't believe you don't get the rear air vents on the N Line. I'm currently waiting on the top spec N Line in Cyber Grey here in Australia
the rear air vents are standard on the N line (not ultimate)I just received - so is the Bose Stereo and power driver seat -- and the small spare tire sticker for AWD 34,420
This color is currently not available in the USA. In Canada, it's called Meta Blue. In the USA, you have denim blue pearl, but we don't have that color.
Good review, I have the 2023 Kona n line and I must say I do not like the styling of the new Kona, nor do I like that there is no shifter by the cup holders and also the huge price increase of roughly $5k Canadian is to much
Why would you want a regular shifter? 🤔 I've never understood why people want the old antiquated mechanical shifter... it just wastes space. As for pricing, keep in mind that the Kona is a completely redesigned vehicle, so of course it makes business sense for Hyundai to capitalize on its hype. Give it a year or two and the prices of these two models will get closer and features will also get closer. Plus it does have larger wheels, larger screens, more sound deadening, better suspension etc.

Thanks Wes!! You're the first to notice! 😁

Thx for the comment!
So informative! Thank you very much. Clapping
Thx!
Hi Ed, just wondering that kona N line doesn’t support wireless apple car play in Canada ?
Every 24 Kona has wireless carplay... Only the 23 and prior had it omitted in trims with navigation. But that issue has been finally solved.
All new redesigned models 24 or newer have wireless across all trims
Loved this review. Should do an updated one for the hybrid once received. Just for the different features.
Thx for the comment... Unfortunately we won't get the hybrid Kona in Canada
What is the name of this color? It’s not available on their website.
I'm in Canada.. this is meta blue
You can close the windows from keyfob you just have to hold lock part
Doesn't work (at least, not in Canada)
That was the first thing I tried

Does the climatisation and seat zone feel too plastic?
Compared to similar vehicles... No

I've got an N-line ultimate on the lot right now.. will be doing a video of it today or tomorrow

I actually don't think the Sonata hybrid is going to be AWD.... though, there's not a lot of info about it yet.
Great Review Ed
Can't believe you don't get the rear air vents on the N Line.
I'm currently waiting on the top spec N Line in Cyber Grey here in Australia
The N-line Ultimate has the rear vents... Gotta save some features for the top trim 🙂
@@edsgarage001 Ed
Funny how the rear air vents are standard in the POV pack in Australia but reserved for the premium range there🤣
Not that unusual, even across the boarder in the USA, the features are a bit different.

Please review Kona 2024 essential. Not everyone can afford N line in this inflation time.
I always review every trim... but we haven't seen anything aside from the N-line yet... be patient. 🙂
@@edsgarage001 thank you Ed.
Ironically, an N-line Ultimate just showed up 🤣
What is name of exterior color is it in states
This color is currently not available in the USA.
In Canada, it's called Meta Blue.
In the USA, you have denim blue pearl, but we don't have that color.
U won't to trade colors
😆
@@edsgarage001 send meta blue
Just bought a White one!!
Right on!
How do you like it so far? I just ordered the two-tone cyber grey.

Thanks for the comment!
You do get used to the shifter, and it frees up more space on the center console.
But yeah, I'm not sure about the looks yet.
Wow cars 🚗 😳 😍 😕 Hyundai kona n line 🚗 😳 😍 😕 🎉😊
Thx for the comment!
For nearly the same price the Seltos SX gives you a powered tailgate, powered seat and a regular shifter, a major disappointment to Canadians.
Why would you want a regular shifter? 🤔 I've never understood why people want the old antiquated mechanical shifter... it just wastes space.
