2022 Hyundai Kona N POV Review - It's Bonkers! [Car Obsession]

[@RE-wf2hz]

Cool video!

[@CarObsession]

Thank you very much 👌🏽

[@richardstrauss7652]

Thanks for the ride! Can you imagine taking your wife and kids on a fast ride with this car ? I wonder what their reaction would be. I’m a die hard fan of motor cars. I can’t imagine owning an EV someday. I m lucky that in my car , I can choose between full automatic ( for my wife and daughter) and semiautomatic mode for me. I enjoy changing gears with the paddle shifts. A maybe stupid question. How come that when I use M/T I can hear the engine ( lovely sound I wouldn’t like to miss ) and when We drive in automatic mode, I hardly hear the “ roaring” of the engine?

[@CarObsession]

Possibly because in auto the car is choosing when you change gear whereas in manual mode I can allow the engine to rev out for longer. Thanks for watching.

[@ronbleazard]

I take my grandkids for rides and it’s the most fun they’ve ever had in a car!

[@CarObsession]

I like your style! Just make sure they're not sick in the car 😅. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.

I use nankan ar1s on mine

[@leevo007lv]

Why it holds the 4th gear for so long when you drive in auto?it's should be changes gear up when you drive faster right?

[@CarObsession]

Not sure, I'm afraid. Thanks for watching.

[@paigekesa]

Depends on which setting you have the transmission set to. If it's in sport plus the auto will hold revs higher.

[@CarObsession]

@@paigekesa From memory I don't think it was in Sport at the time.

[@DriverJ-N]

I have a Kona n it hold gears when accelerating aggressively and driving normally it changes gears like a normal car… very good and smart transmission

[@carloscervantes836]

Missed opportunity not offering AWD

[@CarObsession]

Would have pushed up the cost and weight, though. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.

[@unexplainedwearenotalone3537]

@@CarObsession hey do u know if extra pay can be add AWD or can convert normal Kona AWD take and add on Kona N only way if u want so hard AWD

[@CarObsession]

@@unexplainedwearenotalone3537 No, you can't pay extra for Hyundai to convert it.

[@cater4anytink45]

​@@unexplainedwearenotalone3537 what a dumb question.....that's like your mrs making cakes and me asking if she'll give me a hand job if I pay extra😂😂😂

Told yer it was brill car

[@azizrahman9496]

Great suv but not good on wet conditions

[@CarObsession]

No, the P Zeros are to blame for that - thanks for watching.

[@Fyahking619]

Hi un dai!

[@CarObsession]

???

[@telelaci2]

These PZero tyres are very bad in rain.

[@CarObsession]

No, they're definitely a fairweather tyre, thanks for watching.

[@telelaci2]

@@CarObsession What is "no" ? It's a summer tyre. Not so bad on the dry road though, but unfortunately sometimes it's raining in summer. (especially in UK) And then the car becomes a fun sledge, a new kind of fun with doubled braking distance. It's a little dangerous with that engine power. Michelin Pilot 4s is much better in general, but it's expensive compared to Pirelli. Sorry it just popped in my mind because I saw that you were testing it in rain, that is this tyre's main weakness, you were not so lucky.

[@CarObsession]

@@telelaci2 I said No just as a way of acknowledging your comment. Yes, I prefer Michelin for sure. In regard to pricing, I wouldn't say they're expensive compared to Pirelli - in my experience I find they're normally a similar price.

[@CarObsession]

@@telelaci2 Also, when I said it's a fairweather tyre, it was more a figure of speech as opposed to an actual fact.

[@cindysue5474]

I have driven mine in the rain monsoon in Phoenix space yourself out the P Zeros work just fine.

[@punemax]

Should have said “I Kona care less” about the driving gloves.
