Dude get off Subaru bandwagon. Anybody who is in the market got an off road (fake suv, idc if the industry considers it in the same segment as .... suv) They would never buy anything else. A person who buys a crosstrek like adventure, likes going in nature. Or surfing etc. They need the trunk space with folded seats and off road capabilities and maybe towing That is not the customer type who buys a Honda crv or hrv or kona. The customer who buys these just wants a large car to go from a to b, by themselves or with friends or family. Not for adventures or towing People buy jeep, or Subaru, or other offroad capable vehicles depending on their budget I never saw a single youtuber review a Honda crv and talk about its towiing, because that's not the target consumer for that car

HRV IS MILES Better THAN ANY KONA

I love the cladding. I don’t want painted surfaces where rocks and debris can be kicked up.

I suppose it's really a matter of taste, the more I'm around my 2024 Kona limited, the more I like the way it looks. I actually really like the cladding, for starters, it doesn't look like every other vehicle in this class seriously they all look the same to me. I like the fact that the cladding and the unique design of the vehicle set it apart. Hyundai pushed the envelope on this one and like I said I enjoy that. The 1.6 In sport mode is more than capable of moving rapidly from point A to point B, had I wanted sports car, I would've bought a sports car.

Only thing missing is automatic playback of a Blade Runner soundtrack when you start the engine 😎

I got the Limited version last week. Pretty impressed by the tech.

I sat inside a Kona Limited and a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. I'm sold on getting a 3rd Kona (driving a 2022 Limited now, and had a 2019 Limited before that). The Corolla Cross Hybrid is just lacking any "oomph" in their interior layout, as well as lacking a spare tire. I think the lighter colored Kona paint makes the cladding stand out more. I'm looking at getting a red Kona (not sure what color interior yet) so the dark color will help the cladding blend into the car more.

The plastic cladding is (for me) not too off-putting. I got over that when I bought a 2003 Honda Element EX. I love the interior!

element is iconic!

Great video! Interior is amazing. Hate that it doesn't have any towing capacity.

Thanks for the love 🙏 yeah interior is quite good!

Have ordered a Kona Hybrid (UK) N-Line S Luxury with Auto park etc. in Denim Blue. Agree I don't like the cladding in the grey, hence I ordered the N-Line. Looked at the HRV but older fashioned inside compared to the Kona and with a lot less equipment and gadgets, plus the Kona Hybrid gets 60+ MPG.

nice, enjoy your car!

9:14 Spare tire confirmed 5/5 would buy

The Kona totally have a hybrid version. 1.6 140bhp.

The standard motor doesn’t perform very well when you need to get rolling in a hurry. Outside of that, it’s a pretty nice vehicle.

If it's the same as UK spec you need the N line S trim to get those as well as a few other desirable features.

Have hybrid in the UK

Gaaaahhhhh

Well there is a hybrid option, but not in your country 4:48

Annoying stop/start feature?

Looks like the grill is missing

There is a hybrid

Hyundai decided to skip North America when they ship their Hybrid version -- maybe for the 2025 model year? 🤞

This is car of the year my dude

Sub compact of the year for sure 👍

I really love what Hyundai did with this new Kona, but over the last 10-15yrs Hyundais have become as expensive as Hondas while reliability has decreased.

Those damn CVTs

The reason this is the car of the yr despite your dislikes, which I appreciate honesty wise. Is that compact suvs and suv have skyrocketed in price due to greed and demand. And this is the only well priced one. Who needs a turbo compact suv. All people need is AWD and the tech snd safety features. So it wasn't fair when you complained about its turbo trim price. Who cares Plus idk why on earth a Honda crv is so expensive. They made the crv so big its as big as a pilot stance wise (maybe nit inside). But that size increase doesn't justify the price. And the Honda hrv is absolute garbage and so overpriced for how garbage it is Overall I hate how all past compact suv like crv rav4 And bro subaru are trash quality wise, so idk why ur so obsessed And a Subaru imo shouldnt be considered an sub even if the car world considers it so. It's a wagon Audi sells suvs and wagons for a reason
