[@Tozenerynery]

Fun fact : this car is named Hyundai Kauai here in Portugal since KONA(Cona in portuguese) is slang for the woman intimate parts 😅

[@volvo09]

Haha, I love when words mean something else in another language! Portuguese people must get a kick out of seeing that name on a car 😂

[@tenkarabadger5244]

But it is spelled cona.

Yep….phone cases are magnetized

[@ahmad_alhallak]

Nope, I don't know about the Kona NA trims, but the ones here in the ME don't seem to function like this, I am not even sure if the pad is even slightly magnetized as Doug said, because I didn't feel any pull when I tried putting an iPhone (or any phone with magnetized case) against it, I remember googling around and someone on reddit (I think) said that a Hyundai dealer told him that it was purely cosmetic and serves no other purpose (which is very stupid if true, more probably it was intended to be a magnetic phone holder, but was scrapped in the final version for some reason)

[@bflaminio]

Does the magnet space do wireless charging too? That would be cool.

[@imrytebeehyneu]

@@bflaminio I thought the same way. Hyundai would be the first to make a wireless charging ' magnet ' platform on any phones...

Well he did filmed it back in October 28th 2023.

[@MikeKayK]

He's out of the country traveling at the moment so they are uploading the contest he has already filmed. I think he said he's usually at least 1-2 months ahead so he can always take time off and not skip a beat.

[@NavGTI]

Finally a car that Doug reviewed I’m familiar with! My parents bought one of these to replace their 2019 Kona which was fine but a bit bare bones. They got a ‘Comfort Smart’ (EU spec) and a couple of things that surprised me comparing it to this US spec N-Line: - the painted arch cladding is hideous, I prefer the more rugged plastic look of the regular ones - the 2.0 is an interesting engine choice, in Europe it’s either the 1.0 3 cylinder MHEV or the 1.6 N/A 4 cylinder Hybrid (the one my parents’ is) - the lightbar up front (called Seamless Horizon) actually does light up fully on theirs, but only on full beam. Mid beam the middle part is dimmed and off it’s two strips on either side as DRLs. - the ‘fridge magnet’ section i’m 99% is a loudspeaker for the infotainment (satnav and what not) only which helps to make the driver hear those notes while passengers who might be asleep don’t - the N-Line is ridiculously expensive here but it seems pretty bare bones. The area around the drive modes has a lot of blanks, where my parents’ has a control for the parking sensors (which this doesn’t seem to have!!) and steering wheel heating. The only blanks on the Comfort Smart are the cooled seats, that’s a Premium option. - no power bootlid on the N-Line? Criminal! - there’s a little tray on the passenger side above the glovebox that’s big enough for a phone. It’s also got mood lighting and there’s an infotainment setting that changes it from green to red if you switch from Eco to Sport mode. - the sport mode changes the dials in a way that it shows the apex of a race track around the dials Either it’s an EU or US spec thing but it seems ridiculous to pay the premium for the N-Line to restrict it in options compared to the Comfort imo.

[@Flashv28]

"Special Edition" for new vehicles in the sub 45-50 k range is always wasted money Makes it 10-15 k more expensive, reaching levels of overall better Cars What im trying to say: price to performance takes a huge hit

I really hate how low signal lights are becoming a trend. If your in a tall suv, truck, or semi, you won’t be able to see them up close. Also, even if you can see them, a lot of people will look at the bar light assuming it is the signal lights

[@bwofficial1776]

I despise the Chevy Bolt/Bolt EUV and the Mini Clubman for having giant fake brake lights where you expect them and putting the real lights down low behind the bumper reflectors. Signal lights should be high, big, and bright.

Even though this car doesn't have the 2 litre engine that most N models have, the same 1.6 litre engine is also used in the i20 N, which is a proper N model. They just used slightly detuned version of that engine with the Kona. But of course, since it's a crossover and has four-wheel drive, it might feel slower.

[@xxGHPlayaxx]

Just to note - the Kia Seltos is pretty much the same car. I have a 2024 Seltos SX and it has pretty much all the same features as this Kona. I love that the Kona gets alcantara seats and the usb switch is pretty cool, but if you like all of the functionality and want a bit more conventional styling, the Seltos is a great option. In fact, the Seltos was waayyyy better than the Kona in terms of cargo space before this new update, which is the only reason I chose the Seltos last year.

[@bigred2989]

I've got the 2020 Kona Limited with the 1.6 Turbo and I really enjoy it. Only issue I have is the road noise is a bit loud in it. I've also been constantly getting letters from the dealership asking me to trade it in for the modern iteration, with the promise of an $18,000 credit towards my upgrade. Not really interested in spending money I can use elsewhere, but I have to ask: Is this a standard thing dealerships do and is it worth it in most cases?

You also get heated and ventilatd seats, and steering wheel. also worth noting no Kona trim comes with power tailgate.
