Thnx for the review. Very helpful

Thanks for the review

Thanks for your review. If I was buying I'd seriously consider one.

Good real-world review! I like the Kona’s bold futuristic design and prefer it to the bland styling of some other vehicles in this segment. I also like all the features and technology it offers for the price as well as its user friendliness with a good mix of hard buttons for all the major controls. I’d be interested to hear how the upcoming hybrid drives as it promises excellent fuel economy which is a huge plus with petrol prices the way they are now. I think overall it would make a great family car.

Would really like to see a comparison of the 2024 Kona N line Hybrid and Corolla Cross Hybrid

9/10 is promising given this variant has the gutless 2.0L. I test drove both the 2.0L and the 1.6L turbo and the 1.6 turbo is a WAY more enjoyable drive. Agree with the rest of the vid - So practical and well packaged for the size and price!

I'm still waiting for my Hyundai i30 hatch back auto i signed the paperwork 3 months ago and i haven't got the car

comparison with nissan qashqai ?

Getting next year. In the yummy mirage green. And beige interior.😢

Our 2013 Hyundai i30 Premium CRDi 1.6 litre Diesel Turbo has 100Kw and 280Nm torque from idle driven via a traditional 6 speed automatic. It cost us AU$14,000.00 drive away in 2017 with 12 months factory warranty left and was ex fleet with 103,000Kms. Had a full service history and as of typing this has now just passed 190,000Km's and absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. It has MORE features than this current Kona and was a fraction of the cost. Ours has averaged 6L/100KM's combined cycle. This video proves why you do NOT have to buy the latest model car to be happy. I absolutely will not be selling our 2013 until 2033 and or 300,000Km;s as there is no need to do this. PS* Our "old" 2013 CRDi still pulls like a freight train up any incline on any highway yet never exceeds 3,000rpm. You will never beat a turbo diesel. Cheers!!!

I agree. While the Kona is obviously a good car, I still use our '04 Getz as our 'shopping car' and our late 17 PD i30 SR Turbo Premium is beyond good. Hyundai makes long term extremely reliability vehicles.

"It has MORE features than this current Kona" like what? Sounds like someone's falling for the ol' post-purchase rationalisation.

As a 2021 hyundai i30 elite owner, i can confirm that the mileage and reliable is good. It costed us a sweaty 30,500 AUD. It was worth it. It smelt like heavens gates were opening when i first sat inside of it. It has 30,000+ KM’s because i drive up to sydney every day.

To be clear to potential buyers - it's possible to add the N Line styling pack to the lesser 2.0L engine. However if you want the 1.6 turbo, that only comes in conjunction with the N Line pack. I'd love a 1.6 Premium with the cream (or green!) leather interior, but it's not offered.

What’s reliability like? Heard of any issues with it yet ?

The 2024 Kona is a bit too new for us to have heard about any issues with reliability. That sort of thing will likely reveal itself after 6-12 months of being on sale. Keep an eye on this link down the track if you are still concerned; www.carsguide.com.au/hyundai/kona/problems

The armrest between the front seats... could have been a little longer. 🤔

The boot design looks really old fashion

Big enough for a family of 4?

Yes, the Kona is big enough for a family of four. Both the front and rear row has "an almost indecent amount of head, leg and elbow room" according to our Contributing Journalist Emily Agar. She was very impressed by the space inside the Kona.

That back seat just does not look spacious.

I think you have to be smoking cones to buy a Kona it just looks ugly 🤮

Dont judge a book by its cover. The interior is the great part + the ambient lighting in the front.
