2024 Hyundai Kona Review - Near Perfect Small SUV

[@soozeb7996]

That’s one of the best car reviews I have seen. Covered all the basics, and the points you wouldn’t think about till purchased. Wasn’t trying to be a movie star, just gave us the facts. 10/10 gold star. 🌟 very impressed. Thank you.

[@ItsDanLatham]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad you found it helpful 😊

[@Jakintheboks]

@@soozeb7996 Yes, I'm liking the review style and info details.

[@jujumao8678]

Thank you for the amazing video. Whats the blinking lights above the steering at 08:14?

[@ItsDanLatham]

It's infrared (the camera picks it up but you cant see it with your eyes) - this is to monitor if you are paying attention to the road or fall asleep etc

Which would you recommend.the bayon or the kona.going to dealership at the weekend to have a look.

[@ItsDanLatham]

@@darrenkavanagh9744 kona is a nicer overall car for sure but you’ll pay more for it. I have a Bayon for review in a couple of weeks

[@theHDRflightdeck]

what do you think about the lack of independent rear suspension?

[@DesHoulihan]

My biggest gripe is that it doesnt have Adaptive cruise control only standard CC. Suspension is very stiff as if it was built for the weight of the battery and the petrol version was an after thought. Also too many warning sounds

[@ItsDanLatham]

Agree on the warning sounds. These things beep like mad unless you turn off a lot of the assists

[@BOYZ9]

I believe the Adaptive Cruise Control comes with the auto version of the Kona

[@vkr4118]

I own a new Hyundai Tucson, as far as i am aware, adaptive cruise comes as standard with only auto, hybrids or electric… as for too many warning signs, if there weren’t fae too many idiots on UK roads, we would need any at all 😂😂😂, but on a serious note, that’s just being picky 😂 majority of them can be turned off on any vehicle..

Fun Fact: 4 Dots on the steering wheel is morse code for "H"

[@Jakintheboks]

I always say Hi-und-eye! Great review. Presently looking at this, the Tucson, Mazda CX30 and Volvo Xc40. One of the big draws with Hyundai is the 5 year warranty. Mazda only offer 3 years in the UK (but more in the EU?) and Volvo 3 years. Mazda promising 50mpg with skyactiv x engine which can sound diesely but which is petrol.

[@agiugabenson7268]

My daughter has a Kia. Every time she makes a warranty claim they say Nah not covered.

[@Jakintheboks]

@agiugabenson7268 interesting. Mazda always been good with me and I first had a 6 in 2012.

The four dots on the steering wheel are morse code for H !

[@perolito83]

So they put the headlights down on the corner of the bumper where you are the most likely to hit them on a minor accident? Genius.

[@robertworth5328]

out of interest - Juke Hybrid or Kona Hybrid (IK know there is a difference in price) - which would you go for??

[@ItsDanLatham]

Definitely Kona if you ignore cost! The Juke is a decent car, and the e-Power version is clever - but the Kona is better quality in every way, more steering feel, and a much better infotainment system.

[@robertworth5328]

@@ItsDanLathamthanks - test drove the Kona a few weeks ago (lovely apart form the annoying beeps you have to turn off everytime you start the car) - planning to test the Juke this weekend - sat in one yesterday - bigger than expected, but yes the kona just "feels" better (and yes that the 4-5k price premium but thats ok)

[@ItsDanLatham]

@@robertworth5328 will be interested to hear what you go for!

[@robertworth5328]

@@ItsDanLatham quite liked the Juke, yes smaller and less "premium" than the kona but then it is £5K cheaper... need to weigh up numbers

[@ChristinaOReilly-h7g]

Video is about this car, but 75% of the video is ur face 🙄. I wanna see the CAR!!!! Dash, wheels, options .. why u need to be in this video?

[@ItsDanLatham]

The majority of car reviews are filmed and presented this way on social media and TV. I drop clips in of the features as I talk about them. If you want something like a POV video, there are plenty of those out there!

[@ChristinaOReilly-h7g]

Just did! Thanks alot for 10 min of my life that I will never get back 🙄
