The Ioniq 5 is not $2,000 more. With the dealer markups it's more like 8-12 grand more than the Kona.

Agreed!

Another good review. I especially enjoyed the Ansley Park tour 😊

My wife and I looked at these fairly recently, comparing a Kona to the Bolt and Leaf (as a "budget" second car). We liked the Kona the best (perfect size, good drive, quality feel), but for us the big whammy is the adaptive cruise control can only be had on the top trim. Then add the $5k our local (Portland, Oregon) dealers are STILL adding, and you're almost to $50k. For that coin, I'm definitely going with another make and / or model.

@@RISCGames I wouldn't argue if it were only $7500 extra, but my point is, if you want adaptive cruise control, around here you're looking at about another $20,000. Would you pay $20,000 more for a Kona than a Bolt? Not me!

Excellent review !!!! Question: Chevy Bolt EUV vs Hyundai Kona Electric?

Thumb down for ignoring the stop sign :0(

Bolt EUV with Super Cruise please.

In my opinion, all we had better wait for brand new 2024 kona electric. Its efficiency is better and design is just fantastic.

Ultimate trim.

With the loss of the $7500 tax credit, are we going to see manufacturers like Kia drop their prices to stay competitive with tax-credit-eligible manufacturers?

🛑4:08 You ran that stop. Careful, I know it’s tough to talk and drive but since this is just a talking head section maybe you should record your thoughts after you drive.

I like that the format of the video content is changing or adjusting to better present the information. That's good. I'm not too sure about the BGM though. Not the selection itself but just the fact that there is BGM. Honestly the information itself is good enough without BGM. Maybe it's only me but I don't find the BGM necessary. The BGM kind of detracts from the wealth of information provided. Just my opinion. The camera focusing in on the mentioned features is already a good method to direct viewers to what is being said verbally. It's something that AoA (and EV Buyers Guide) has already been doing for a long time anyway. The BGM just means you have to slightly turn up the volume to hear what is being said.

Nott of these wil fit my needs for my family's next vehicle... But I would take Bolt EV LT as that seems to be alot of car for cheap... Which that argument at the end sounds tthe same as why would you ever by a BRZ over a mustang GT both are sports cars one gets way more features but not a V8.

I’ll take the Ionic 5 strictly for the styling inside and out, it’s a much sleeker, cool futuristic design!

So at 100 KWH this charges twice as fast as either Bolt, but still slow. Is there some technical reason that these vehicles, with smaller batteries, charge slow?

Kona is significantly smaller than Ioniq 5 which may be exactly what someone needs in town or for their garage. It’s not the best road tripper but will do in a pinch, especially compared to Bolt EV. Way too pricey though!

Great price comparison and conclusion to not buy the Limited trim.

Not a bad car, but priced too high compared to the competition.

The price comparison needed to show the effect of the tax credits. The Bolts do get some, right? Or was that taken into account? Not clear...

@brianroskelly2177

The Bolts lost the credit for now, unfortunately. None of those options currently have it.

I just checked the Hyundai USA web site and it says "Currently, KONA Electric is only sold in NC, VA, AZ, UT, TX, GA, FL, TN, AK, HI, CA, CO, CT, MA, MD, ME, MN, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, and WA."

Ioniq 5 is a rear wheel drive. That’s a deal breaker for people live in a place where snows

4:07 - Did you just run that stop sign?

Not imo. The new one is a lot uglier imo. The first one was ugly too. Not sure why they’re so quick to change the design on something they finally got right.

Bolt!

We looked at the Kona but bought the Bolt but not only because of the tax credit. The fully featured Bolt Premiere is less than the base Kona SE throw in the tax credit and it's no contest. The Kona has better rear suspension and faster charging but it's not worth the money difference.

Base Hyundai IONIQ 5 makes a ton of sense to me vs the Kona. But the used electric car bargain right now in that same price point is a used Model 3 from Tesla. They were dipping into the $29k range if you’re willing to travel nationwide to pick it up. SC network access with reduced range and cargo capacity I think favors the M3 but it depends if you can handle driving around in a used early year Model 3 with high mileage.
