Any Questions please let us know!?

[@timlangfeld5698]

Why did you delete my earlier comment?

[@EdenMotorGroup]

I did not. This is a different video. I saw your comment, rebalanced the audio and re uploaded 👍 you were right. Infact the 2-4 minute track was actually in the wrong audio graph in the timeline which was why it was so much louder

[@nickgiles7568]

Thanks David.I will contact them.

[@gk4674]

Could you compare it with the tucson? I'm thinking to buy a family car and I'm between the new kona or the tucson :)

[@EdenMotorGroup]

@@gk4674if you need more space then the Tucson is probably the one for you

[@timlangfeld5698]

I had a test drive in the very same model last week and can confirm it is absolutely fantastic. Contemplating getting the 1.6 turbo petrol

[@j.shussain7528]

Not saying it's a bad choice, just would like to ask you why not the Hybrid?

[@albd4002]

​@@j.shussain7528I took both cars for a test drive and preferred the Hybrid with FWD and 6 speed DCT. The turbo versions 8 speed torque converter auto just felt sluggish. Put a deposit down on the Hybrid and should have the car in 3 to 6 months.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

any idea on the current waiting time for a new EV Kona ultimate? some car brands seem to be up to a year wait, just crazy.

[@L3AF]

will the N line be available for EV or just combustion variant?

[@judithllewellyn1611]

Does it have a power tailgate please ?

[@ebola1974]

The camera part of this, was that only in the N-Line S? Or also in the N-Line?

[@user-fp8ok1vy5i]

Do you have any idea of the dimensions of the boot please? It's impossible to find, only the capacity which doesn't help me

[@nickgiles7568]

Nearly sold on this.Your dealership in High Wycombe will be by nearest but I cannot fix in a test drive at present. Would need a test in a manual.Are these easily available.? Coming from a Golf 1.5 turbo. How does the 1.6 turbo Kona compare acceleration wise do you know ? Finally delivery time for the 1.6 Turbo manual in top spec ? Thanks. Great video.

[@EdenMotorGroup]

Give them a ring on 01494 685770 to find out about the test drive. In terms of acceleration it will feel slower as it’s so much quieter and sitting higher up but you are getting similar performance. In terms of delivery it really is down to spec and colour. Ask that question after the drive is the best time. David

[@one_hoop]

They didn't tell you it's a 2024? It truly is from the future! XD

[@slimgym308]

Excellent demonstration, the car looks fantastic. Are the headlights matrix/adaptive and is the CarPlay wireless?

[@EdenMotorGroup]

Depends on the model and it is not wireless CarPlay

[@slimgym308]

@@EdenMotorGroup Thanks, looked at N Line S but didn't see in the list of features.

[@davel9359]

I have read elsewhere that it will be wireless soon and those that currently aren’t will get updates.

[@TheEmekabanks]

How's the drive on a motorway ? Really want to get this hybrid version but concerned about the engine capability ( 141hp) whilst accelerating/ overtaking

[@EdenMotorGroup]

No complaints from me. How much motorway do you do?

[@TheEmekabanks]

@@EdenMotorGroup not a lot to be fair, about a 100mile round trip once a month. Did the engine sound overworked or did you find overtaking a struggle?

[@EdenMotorGroup]

Neither. If it’s a 100 mile trip once a month get the EV. It will solve any power issues you might have. It will mean no road tax. Basically a zero bill. It may be more expensive but the fuel cost will offset that and by the time you’re ready to wave goodbye everyone will be wanting EV’s ready for the 2030 deadline

[@sachah2400]

The 2030 deadline will not happen. It will be 2040 at least. It is getting extended. EV is twice the price and half the range. Rubbish car.

[@EdenMotorGroup]

It’s not twice the price. Range has nothing to do with it. You start everyday with a full tank so to speak. How many 300 mile trips are done everyday. This is coming from someone who owns an EV with a 124 mile range and has never not found a space or charger and never run out of charge. As for the deadline it is still holding and no word on an extension. Manufacturers are not preparing for an extension they are preparing for the switch hence why so many EV’s are coming out so fast

[@alanyuen3547]

How's the ride quality? How well does it cope with the bumps in our roads? I understand the old Kona had rather firm ride, is this one much better?

[@EdenMotorGroup]

I find it firm but more comphy

[@kaprunski]

I'm a Kia driver and considering my first Hyundai, a Kona EV over a Niro EV. My worry is the poor press about Hyundai dealers and poor standard of service. I'm on my second Kia and 10 years of great reliability and service. Will I get that with Hyundai? I wonder 🤔

[@nobby21165]

We wear all ready to buy the ultimate ev model this week, until the salesman offered us £5k less trade in value for our Tucson PHEV than we had been told on their website!

[@user-xl1yp6bn2n]

Kona en portugais? ?

[@Snerdles]

Can the EV actually charge in a reasonale speed (10 to 80 in under 20 minutes or so)? The main problem with the current ones is the abysmally slow charging.

[@cristi8276]

unfortunetly in the specs it says 41 minutes from 10 to 80% is the best it can do

[@Snerdles]

@@cristi8276 ICK. I was really hoping for this one to be a nice fast charging cheap EV. Since you can only go 10-80 and highway speed you are probably losing 20% off of WLTP or 10% off of EPA range you realistically get about a 40-50% drop and then have to wait around for 40 minutes to drive again? Hard pass. Unless you are just using this as a secondary commuter car there is no reason to buy this.

[@R3GTLEE]

That red line across the dash would annoy the hell out of me...horrible!!

[@gingerbreadzak]

Pretty sure its ambient lighting lol

[@sully1865]

A car, or a robot?! Looks like something out of transformers.

[@keithnewton8981]

Having already tried the ev i can tell you that the new Kona ev is a huge leap forward, now i known it shares much with kia niro but it seem a completely different car to niro. I really like this new kona and i hope the keep all one colour as looks better with body cladding in the same colour the car.

[@xchazz86]

Triangle overdose

[@R3GTLEE]

No heated screen!!! In this country it's needed. And that red stripe is hideous.

[@RafLurv]

For a car that looks this futuristic, i feel like the interior dashboard feels a bit outdated. It looks old for some reason.

[@bassem121212]

165 km/h max speed is annoying..

[@exex9378]

Great car but sadly the interior feels rather cheap

[@TeamSkye489]

What is the future of petrol cars? Is it sensible to buy petrol cars in 2023 with EV cars taking over?

[@EdenMotorGroup]

Depends on your use case

[@user-hl3fs5ox6e]

Krasne sito

[@jamesli2040]

1:24 says made of "51 high strength high tensile strength steel" also at the same time: shows the A-pillar did not survive the 25% offset collision test very convince stats, very convince

[@EdenMotorGroup]

If you want I can pop a citation in the description would that help?

[@jamesli2040]

@@EdenMotorGroup The front part invasion and the A-pillar deformation after the collision already tells enough about this car's structural strength 😂

[@EdenMotorGroup]

Well that car was from 2016-2017 in testing. We have come a long way in 7 years. But for the time it did have a great safety rating 👍 better a car crumple and save the occupants rather than stay ridged and harm those inside

[@sachah2400]

No 2023 test has been done on the new model yet.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

you do realise cars are designed to crumple? it got 5 stars and 87% adult occupancy. Euro Ncap didn't see anything wrong with the structure of the car.

[@CaptainKA320]

The car would be great, but for one thing, the interior is awful, cheap, nasty plastic. Why? Hyundai has thought of everything, except they have failed miserably to make this car feel like a luxury SUV. Very disappointing.

[@ronaldmurray7746]

So , so , so boring

[@leos8720]

I don't like this Hyundai....I liked the old model Kona....

[@patrickgagnon9662]

Quality defined .....recall record of this brand is among the worst in the industry ....good luck with your 'quality defined '

[@davel9359]

If you’re in the UK that claim is rubbish. Reading through the Gov file shows very few recalls for Hyundai compared to those paragons of quality such as Toyota, BMW, Mercedes and Honda.

[@patrickgagnon9662]

IT IS NOT A CLAIM , IT IS FACT ...THE STATS ARE IN ...5 YEARS OF RECALLS, BAD ONES ...FACTS ARE FACTS , RECALLS ARE RECALLS NO MATTER WHAT SOME DELUSIONAL LIMEY SAYS ...@@davel9359

Hyundai cars become rusty within 10 years no matter how u look after them.

[@EdenMotorGroup]

We can’t be talking about the same Hyundai? They rank 4th in the reliability index out of 38 brands 😃

[@Dabayare]

@@EdenMotorGroup I bought 8 yr old i20 and it already had rust around the driver's door handle. Then slowly these dots of rust kept turning up on the roof n everywhere. This is a guy who pressure washes in his driveway twice every week.

[@bobsingeton2719]

Two and a half minutes in and your "funky editing" has made your video unwatchable... so I'll never know (from you, anyway) whether it's a good car or not. I've also selected "Don't recommend channel" so I'll never have to endure your "funky editing" again.

[@EdenMotorGroup]

Thanks for the feedback. We try and entertain as well as inform as that makes information easier to digest. I’m sorry we won’t be seeing you on the channel again. I hope you find a channel that delivers information in the way you enjoy and can digest. David
