I thought I was having another Mandela Effect episode in my life. Yes, I said “another”. The blonde girl at the end of “Moonraker” had braces and you can’t convince me that she didn’t!!!

So many good features! I know it’s random but my OCD loves the fact that all the windows roll down completely! 😂 also amazing that there are ventilated seats as an option!

Looks great. Still one of the better cuvs in the class

@micahmuzio i can confirm my review Kona limited unit had wireless carplay and android auto both worked perfectly. I also noticed that all modern hyundais have that new updated infotainment too. as always great work sir.

It's hard to find more distinct style for less money than a Kona.

I feel like Hyundai has made "maybe you could try not sucking" a whole, successful business strategy (they were so terrible when I was but a young driver), and honestly I love that for them. I try to import it at my work from time to time, where success is decidedly mixed.

Hi Micah!!!

Huzzah , the innuendo iguana 🦎 is back!

I like this vehicle, other than the mark-of-Zorro side panels and the bland rear, which perhaps needs some Zorro inspiration. It's remarkable what Hyundai & Kia have done in a short time span.

Nice for a low cost SUV. Big question, does Micah still work for KBB?

@@MicahMuzio Rumor is that Micah is a "helicopter manager".

This or the Mazda CX-30???

Some of the futuristic design is due to it being designed as a EV first then retrofitted for ICE powertrains. Personally I prefer the body painted fender variants but I do like its design. I actually think the origami like lines on the sides make more sense here compared to a Elantra or Tucson that have it. On size, I believe it’s as or larger than an older (90s early 20s) CRV, Rav4 etc. Our subcompact now are as large as yesterday’s compacts.

Any rumors about a hybrid version in the works? Same question applies to Honda and the HR-V. I watched a review of the ZR-V (what they call the HR-V in Europe) with a hybrid and it's exactly what I'm in the market for, but the only option here seems to be the Corolla Cross Hybrid, which seems overpriced and undercontented (is that a word? Probably not).

It would be crazy for Hyundai not to bring a Kona hybrid stateside. It's already exists elsewhere in the world.

@@MicahMuzioall these automakers not bringing the hybrid versions to the US market irritate the heck outta me. My Ioniq Hybrid is great and I’ll probably keep it for a very long time, but when my lease is up I would have at least like to have tried a Kona Hybrid, or take an HR-V hybrid out to see if the hybrid makes up for its anemic engine in todays model. But no, only small car options are the Prius, whose gauge cluster and steering wheel makes me want to put bleach in my eyes, or the Elantra Hybrid which is fine but I don’t want a sedan. The upcoming Civic Hatch Hybrid will be my only other genuine option, but my last Civic Hatchback was a rattle trap and I’m worried a new one would be too.

People always tell me that Hyundai is an inferior company that makes horriblevehicles. It’s so confusing out there

They don't mess around with new models...its a significant departure from last year. The N? with the rear spoiler I don't like it as much. 1st generation Kona still look good , not dated. The Iron Man version was ...aahh.. gimmicky 🤨 ..but I grin every time I see one.

What about a vs video against the Kia Niro? The styling on the niro is much my preference

Looks good but can we stop putting every feature imaginable on budget entry level cars. Part of the reason why cars have gotten expensive. If you want luxury features get a luxury car.

The base Kona is 24k. Which for the market is affordable. They also offer a venue for less than $20k base. Those are budget options.
