Joe, I just bought my Kona Limited and the arm rests are not hard. The middle section of the doors are soft-touch and the arm rest itself is padded plastic. No, it's not luxury, but I'm not uncomfortable and it's definitely not a hard-touch surface. We have to give Hyundai some credit on this one, it's a major improvement over the previous generation and they've included a lot of luxury features for a bargain price, compared to many others in the space.

How do you like AC system? I live in the southwest where it gets very hot in the summers. I've.been driving a hybrid for the last 12 years so I'm used to having a nice electric compressor which works much better when at idle compared to a belt driven . The Kona limited has everything I'm looking for ..except no hybrid in the USA yet.

I have the 2024 Hyundai Kona SEL with Convenience pack and my brother has the 2022 Tuscon SEL. The screens are better on the Kona for sure (and larger) but the Tucson has more cargo space. Thats literally the only benefit of the Tucson currently as the front and rear legroom is about the same as the new Kona. Tucson has 39ft cargo space and Kona has 25ft. 0-60 time, MPGs and everything else is very similar between the two and Kona does look like the little brother

I bought the same model in 2023. I did see the preview for this new 2024 at the NY Auto show on you tube. (Great job on that vid Joe!).The reason I didn't wait for the 24 was I thought the 23 has more character. I like the gas mileage better on my 23 model. (about 2-3 mpg's difference) I didn't want to pay another 2-3K more for an SUV in this class. Sure the tech has gotten better. Everything is relative. Im loving my 23 Hyundai Kona Limited AWD in Ecotronic Grey.

This is much better than the former generation, but the KIA Seltos is still the best in the subcompact class and remains better than the Kona in every way.

What that next to guage cluster screen? Is that a speaker? I know I'm Korea they use it as a finger print scanner.

Its a faux speaker like the Ioniq 5 and 6 have. Its metal with a fabric cover. Its for your mobile device if your case has a magnet in it. (MagSafe is too weak)

Raiti, I reside in Michigan and currently have an AWD vehicle but have rarely needed the AWD option. So, would you recommend saving the additional $1,400 for it and opting for FWD? Thank you!

Very nice exterior. Even the cladding. Pretty shape and right sized for city. But, way too thirsty and lots of plastic inside for a top-of-the-line. Too bad they didn't put a hybrid in it with some decent horsepower. With hybrid, it might be worth the price but not this model.

when I test drove the Limited and floored it in the Target parking lot, it did groan and it took a while to get going. As other reviewers have pointed out, it takes a few upshifts for the ICE version to get moving. EV has instant torque so it moves when you hit the pedal Another con on the ICE version over the EV in this design. Which IMO Hyundai did the EV design first because they knew they would eventually focus on the EV only at some point, may as well make it a transition vehicle, which turned out to be their plan. The next Kona in a few years is changing to the Ioniq platform so it probably won't have an ICE version in the future.

I'm wondering for 2025 if they're going to bring in a hybrid model. I know they had a plug-in hybrid model before but I'm hoping for a regular hybrid. I guess so at that point it would bump the price up too much and then it would be competing with the the Tucson.

@@suzetteharris I ended up getting the Honda Hybrid CRV Sport-L Touring model.... only thing it's missing is the ventilated front seats, panoramic roof, the auto-folding mirrors, & the blind-spot view monitoring (the actual cameras with the views, not just the red alerts on the mirrors).... but overall I'm happy with my purchase, it's great on gas & the pickup on the expressways (when merging on) is great! (Not THE best, but good overall)... I didn't end up getting the Hyundai or Kia bc of the high stolen-rates of the cars.... 🫣😕
