The seats have 5 dots embossed in the backrest, which casts doubt on the 4 dots on the steering wheel being Morse Code. Not saying it isn't, but if it is then what do the five dots mean?

Got a black 2024 Kona N-Line last week. I absolutely love it so far and can’t wait to put more miles on it! Great review.

OHHhhh... I was just at the Location for the car service and saw that N-Line Kona. the colour looks amazing

Robo-Kona-Cop! Cool light setup, LED tech allows designers to play with design far more freely. Good review Sam. Well done!

Thanks! 👍

I drove a 2019 Kona Limited and today I'm driving a 2022 Kona Limited. This new N-Line has the "WOW" factor, but for another $1500, I would rather get the Limited AWD trim. The Limited adds eco-leather seating, power trunk liftgate, and the digital dash shows the outside of the car when using turn signals. Oh, and the self-park feature that the Sonata debuted where you can park the car in a tight space or in your garage while you are OUTSIDE the car!

I absolutely love the frigging front end of the car. The amount of tech hyundai has to offer in the ultimate trim is so much better in every single way than the vanilla stuff like HRV, CHR, etc. Another stellar video Sam !

Yah I saw one today on the road as it passed by and I was like whoa what is that, the angle looking at it towards the wing looks good and the front end is aggressive

Had mine since November. Love it. Just put a custom catback exhaust on it. Sounds like it should. No problems at all.

So what’s the point wasting cash buying a so called “luxury car”? This car has everything a modern expensive car will have

It's really interesting to me the features you don't get on the Ultimate in Canada that we get on the Premium trim down here in Australia. Premium gets Power tailgate, power adjustable passenger seat and heated rear outboard seats OH and the Driver and front passenger seat have a "relaxation" mode. All trims get a space saver spare. We also get a 1.6 Hybrid. Only the N-line gets AWD and only with the 1.6T - Which I mention because you can have the N-Line with the 2.0 MPI OR the 1.6 GDI Hybrid OR the 1.6T GDI.

The US N Line Ultimate - looses the red strip in favour for a chrome one, loses the sporty wing for a chrome luxury one, and has a power lift trunk. All around looks more for luxury than sporty. And yep also gets a spare tire. My Kona N Line Ultimate is arriving in 1 week, and that spare tire is the first thing I am working on getting. So dumb they dropped it in Canada. When all other competitor cars have one.

Should be 3rd gen?

I wouldn’t recommend the placement of the front headlights and rear lights. Prime area where things scrape or hit. This should be reserved for cheap replaceable bumpers not expensive lights.

It’s the design of the present and future. Especially low set headlights because they are less likely to blind people. They also eliminate the need for fog lights. People always just got fog lights anyway because they thought they looked cool. That trend rapidly changed and now they are way out of style.

@@yairmichaeli I drove the Kona premium model recently and omg the suspension was amazing it just soaked up any bumps and you didn’t even notice. You barely have to touch the pedal and it’ll go it didn’t rev hard at all like I found with the Mazda cx30 it actually just went so easily and I only found out at the end they had it in eco mode! I didn’t notice any lack of performance at all it definitely has a lot of power and it’s so light to steer as well. The lane change isn’t invasive and is almost to the point of hands free steering itself. All in all I loved it and I actually put a deposit down a few weeks ago 😁

That's why I'm glad I still have my trusty old 2002 Volkswagen Polo 74 HP 1.4 TDI (no relation to failure-prone modern vehicles sold under the same brand name) with what I call "Polo Power" (you can feel the jerk when you accelerate and the turbo comes into play). It is fun to drive despite also being a 3 cylinder. But I don't expect my large 120 HP 1.0 T-GDi Kona (considerably heavier and with fewer CCs) to perform like that. No matter how they market it, it is a family car. I only expect low fuel consumption and a sticker letting me access low-emission zones. If it drove like my Polo it would be a gas guzzler. Plus, I'm a sucker for the Ioniq-style screens and the high-tech look and driver assists.

On top of that, for the Ultimate and N Line S there is an option pack, called the lux pack which gives what they call luxury front seats, digital key (think you link to an iPhone to open car) and another piece of kit or two.

The rear light cluster is too low for good visibility for tailgaters at red lights and they are in a great position to get damaged with minor bumps.. Also I wish that stupid looking rear spoiler was an option. For adult drivers we don't want to look like boy racers plus no spare or even a donut and no memory seats and at this price point it isn't a bargain at all in my opinion and we are a Hyundai family owning nine vehicles.
