There are four Hyundai Kona trims to choose from: SE, SEL, N Line, and Limited. The SEL can also be upgraded with the SEL Convenience package.

i like the deconstructed front grill on the SEL, it looks like a modded car with exposed intake

Yea. I see it. Cool that you pointed that out.

I have the old Kona and it's paid off already. I really want to get the SEL with convenience package, but don't want another car payment.

I don’t blame you. Not having a car note is nice!

Good video thanks. I live in the UK and have an N Line S (UK spec) on order. We cannot spec a car with a spare wheel over here, the well in the boot is there but no wheel. The N Line S comes with 18" wheels. Do you know what size spare your SEL has? Thanks in anticipation.

It does not show it in video?

I wish someone would do a side-by-side comparison between the N-Line and Limited versions! I'm driving a 2022 Kona Limited and I like my leather seats, but the N-Line suede looks cool too!

I think it’s what we can get our hands on. But we will try to get the comparison in if we can get our hands on them.

How do you get the light bar to flicker on the SEL?

It’s a result of filming lights in your video. You can’t get them to actually do that.

Hyun-dai? Or Hun-dai? I don’t even know how to pronounce this anymore. So confusing. Good video comparison. Love the angles of the camera and the way you explain.

It's pronounced like you are saying "Sunday".

Good review! But Hyundai recommends reading "huhn day." That's what Koreans call it.

We have a 2022 Santa Cruz. That 2.5l (naturally aspirated) is fantastic and sounds amazing as well. The 2.0 in the Kona sounds like a whiny sewing machine, on the gas, and is flat running as far as power. A real surprise to us. In addition, 2 Konas we drove had completely unbalanced wheels and tires making the whole experience a mess.

Yea, the 2.0 does sound a bit trashy. I have a 2021 sel 2.0 and it’s the same engine basically. At full or almost full throttle you get a lot of noise. I would probably look at the turbo seltos. The interior is premium compared to the Kona….drove one and loved it!!
