We just picked ours up. I didn’t like the open storage in the center under the arm rest but the wife found out by removing the plastic Divider it fit her purse.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That's nice for her. Is it primarily your car or hers? Which trim did you get and what pushed you to the Kona Electric versus the Ioniq cars?

[@therealcdnuser]

@@TheIoniqGuyit was supposed to replace my 17’ Ioniq, but the wife likes it better than her 23’ Kona Ultimate. I was going to buy the 24’ Ioniq 5 but I got a great 24 month lease rate and payment for the Kona. I am expecting some changes in the next two years like the NACS so decided to do a short lease.

[@srikanthnarayanan]

the first thing I thought when watching videos of reviewers complaining of the open storage and not hiding their crap, is that as an open storage, large purses and small bags will fit in there securely while still flowing out. Can't do that in a closed storage area. Smart, imo.

[@caraziegel7652]

Picked up a limited 2024 Kona for under MSRP and the federal EV rebate for my wife last week. She loves it so far.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s awesome!

[@GZIM86]

Curious - How does the Kona qualify for the rebate?

[@arob_farcaster]

@@GZIM86it is an EV, Hyundai has the same lease $7500 off deal going on for it. We managed to get the dealer to give us the $7500 off through a financed purchase somehow, no idea how they pulled that off but it saved a lot of paperwork to buyout the lease.

[@bnovak2937]

Hyundai is now offering $7500 cash incentives on all 24 Kona EVs. On a brand new model?! Why?

[@GZIM86]

@@arob_farcaster So they worked in $7500 off with a financed purchase and not for a lease? That’s amazing. I wonder how widespread that offer is.

[@AdamPranda]

Still recommend to others in this price range who live in cold climates the Niro EV over the Kona since Hyundai hates specifically the US for whatever reason and wont let you get a heat pump for improved efficiency. Heck, its not even a North America market problem as Canada has had the heat pump in the Kona EV for years now.

[@bnovak2937]

Yeah, I wonder how much range you might lose driving a Kona in cold weather without a heat pump. British versions have heat pump, why not US? ☹️

[@AdamPranda]

@@bnovak2937 From previous experience driving a Bolt EV, which doesn't have a heat pump, the steady state difference in power draw is ~1-4kW depending on the temperature. So for longer drives the efficiency difference will be more pronounced. As for the US trim differences, it's always been about the profit margin. Hyundai cuts a ton of features here to try to be competitive on price, rather than options/features. Kia is significantly more competitive on features but is slightly more expensive, but at least you are given the option to choose.

[@therealcdnuser]

4:00 our Canadian model has all LEDs. It’s interesting to see how they package the car between the US and Canada. We don’t get the power lift gate even at the highest trim 😢.

After shooting this SEL I looked more into the trim differences and the top trim here does get upgraded to all LEDs

[@jimmykhokhar9092]

Thanks for the comparison video. I also happen to have Kona EV which is coming up on lease this year. I have the Ultimate trim but looks like if I'm not mistaken, the torque on the new one is less. The previous gen was 201hp and 295lbtq. Also my range since day one had been between 280-302miles and of course more fluctuation in the winter as I'm also in snow country. Bigger size is huge help especially with a car sear which makes the front passenger seat almost unusable. I have been getting about 4.2kwh with the higest I saw was 5.3kwh which was of course city driving.

[@smallmj2886]

Thanks for the review. Great to see the the back seat is actually usable on the new model. The old one was nominal.

Great review. We have a Hyundai Elentra and are strongly considering an E Kona as our fist electric. Thank you.

Man I can't wait until you get one I am very interested in the upgrades to the home charging to 11kw and also the dcfc I hope you have a home charger large enough to max out the kona that way we can see how long it takes to home charge

[@brianiswrong]

We ordered one in the uk 2 days ago👍 We have a scheme for people with motorbility needs, and if you qualify you can get a variety of ice and ev's for a 3 year " lease" Depending on the cars list price you might need to pay an initial down payment and then all you pay for is peteol/ diesel or electricity, the scheme covers monthly payments to cover the car/ insurance/ maintenance/ breakdown cover. We have a kona N line S ev in ultimate red paint for a one off £1500. They provide a free supplied and fitted wall charger. 20'000 miles a year mileage allowance and after 3 years you hand it back and choose again.

[@colinsullivan8416]

Just fyi, the 10-70% charge time is 27 minutes. It’s another 16min to get to 80% because it drops below 50kw. It starts at 90Kw and slowly creeps up to 100kw at 63% then drops to 79Kw up to 69%. TeslaBjorn has a comparison video.

[@ConstantinBanciu]

Are you sure it's the same charging curve as the Kona from Tesla Bjorn's video? Remember that the North American Kona (built in S. Korea) get different versions of battery and electric motor. In Europe the Kona(built in Czech Republic) has 217bhp and 65,4kwh battery but the America and Canada will get 201bhp and 64,8 kWh battery...has anyone tested the max charging speed of the NAR version of the Kona?I could not find any video on KZbin with a charging session...😢

The thing that annoyed me with this new Kona was the many beeps when driving just above the speed limit the car thought the road has. This was in Norway. Else I kinda liked the car yes. I didn’t see the conditioning battery button, but I guess the Norwegian high trim model also had that.. I wonder what the service prices are though. My P45 60K service is about 1500$. That’s insane..

Nice review. Looks great other than the lack of HUD. Any word on whether it has a heat pump yet? The frunk is kind of getting in the way, so I can't tell from under the hood. Please take some more under the hood pics or do some range tests with the heating system on vs off in the cold. Would really appreciate it.

I had the radar cruise fail on my Ioniq5 and got an Ioniq6 as a stand by car. I actually couldn't wait to give it back. It was claustrophobic as you said my knees had no room to move with high centre console. I'm glad you bring it up as the Kona seems to be better but they could do the open footwell and be as good as the 5. We nearly bought a new outlander phev but those centre consoles just keep getting wider and taller. Just stupid. Keeping old outlander maybe with battery upgrade.

I had a 2019 Kona EV Ultimate that I loved it until it was bought back due to battery fire issues. My biggest issue remains - I don't want a car with FWD and EV torque as the power delivery is uneven and torque steer is annoying. Having now lived with both 2023 Model 3 RWD and a 2021 Polestar 2 (AWD/Dual Motor), I just can't ever see going back to FWD. I am curious how this stacks up to the Volvo EX30. On paper, the Volvo seems significantly better in most areas with the notable exception of rear seat/cargo space. I am glad to see Hyundai improve the Kona - I just really wish they would give it RWD/AWD.

[@loriallen67]

I am making the same comparison. Test drove the Kona today. Quite pleasant.

Great video. The only video that has shown the footwell for the driver I use that dead space for my left foot to rest as the footrest doesn't work for me as a tall guy(6'4"). I'm getting the top spec here in Australia what they call Premium here. Was there a glasses holder in the ceiling like the classic Ioniq has and I think original Kona had?

I did some 60k KM of roadtriper in my 2020 Soul EV limited (64kwh) and it worked, same charging as your old Kona, but having 100KW charging potential is much better, but having battery precondioning is using on the cake! Might be a good replacement to our 2020 Soul which we i.e. as a run about now that we have our 2023 Tesla model Y long Range AWD for our roadtriper.

[@guillaumepare9651]

For northern regions, front charging port is not the ideal. At best it's the most dirty place on the car and cars gets very diry during winter.

[@benwinslow3101]

What does snow mode do on the kona, given that it's a fwd drivetrain?

[@kenrobison9722]

Do you think the software on existing Ioniq 5 to allow us to just "Start Preconditioning" ? That would be great. I have the 2022 Limited and even with software updates, thei Navigation doesn't have all of even the EV locations. If you are talking to Hyundai ask if they would let us somehow activate preconditioning for 20 -30 mins . Is it even a possible software upgrade?

[@colinsullivan8416]

It does have a manual button in the infotainment to start preconditioning without requiring setting a charger as a destination. Not certain how low it will let the SoC go before preventing it, but I think will work below 20%

[@kristoffergo6973]

The EX30 is a really small car compare to Kona. Small passenger space at the back and also small trunk space.

[@readyplayer2]

EX30 is manufactured in China, vs. South Korea, and biggest drawback for me, lacks driver gauges / screen and buttons and uses a central mounted display for everything. Hard pass. I do think the EX30 will have nicer seats and more stylish interior, and will also offer much more power.

[@leslarson2642]

No heat pump? With our current weather, I am pulling almost 7kW to keep my 2023 Ioniq 5 warm inside. Really cannot imagine a resistance heater that big in a car.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

All Ioniq 5s actually also have a resistance heater. The heat pump only works down to a certain point where it begins to slowly not work as efficiently and then the resistance heater will compensate. The resistance heater will also be used on startup to rapidly heat the cabin and then transition to the heat pump to maintain

[@leslarson2642]

Correct and I understand the limitations of heat pumps. Basically, once the ambient temperature drops below a certain temperature, say 10F, a heat pump is no better than a resistive heater, losing its thermal advantage. But the heat pump still produces heat, which is added to the resistive heater. If there is only a resistive heater, it better be really large to compensate for the lack of the heat pump. Like I have said, I have seen almost 7 kW on my climate display. That is a lot of power. Thanks for the reply.

[@MylesV]

The DCFC speed increase is a little disappointing, 100kW vs the outgoing 77kW. But in reality I find my current Kona’s 77kW rate perfectly acceptable, my biggest gripe is how much the rate drops in the winter. Having preconditioning in the new Kona is the biggest improvement imo.

What's the charging curve for this model year 2024 Kona Electric? Its max 100 kW charging speed, how long is it maintained in ideal conditions? eg, for a brief period , say around 50-60% SOC, or longer, say 20-70%?

[@colinsullivan8416]

Teslabjorn has videos showing the charging performance. It’s pretty good! It starts at 90Kw below 10% SOC and slowly creeps up higher and higher as the battery pack voltage increases. Its true peak is at 63% SOC at 100kw or slightly above. So you can think of it as basically flat 90-100kw all the way to 63%. Then it drops to 79Kw until it reaches 69%. Above that it drops below 50Kw. All this to say is that they are emphasizing the wrong charging time in their marketing materials. It’s 10-80% in 43 min, but 10-70% in just 27min. 16 extra minutes for the extra 10 percent is a waste in my opinion. Get back in the road at 70 and you’ll spend overall less time charging over multiple stops.

[@be236]

Nice! That's a great improvement over its older model, where it would only get to its max 76kW for maybe 50-60% SoC period...before or after that it was well under 50kW...

I'll take a charge port in the back of the car any day of the week just like a gas car. I back into my driveway, don't have a garage and the charge cord is only so long plus I don't want want to expose that connection to bystanders on the street having it on the front. Kia has at least been consistent on the back right but I suspect it may move to the back left to match Tesla when they move to NACS.

Interesting. This car compare to the Niro IMHO. 24:42 So does the higher trims has double windows (I guess no)? Also, compared to the ioniq5: no AWD, less range, 400V architecture, less rear room (if needed), a tad less cargo if I'm not mistaken, more noisy, etc. Smaller wheels is a plus. IMHO, it's an interesting car but I found the price/performance better on the ioniq5. Funny because it's a bit what peoples say about the Niro EV: interesting car but not the best price/performance. I'm asking because I'm in Québec (thus the imperfect english) and provincial rebate goes from 7000$ to 4000$ in january. I wanted a 2025 ioniq 5 and news are not good. Seems they will build them late this year and start to deliver early 2025. A bit frustrating. So I either take a B plan or keep my 2017 priusV. The later seems the better option.

These don’t exist anywhere or I’d be buying one…

[@TheIoniqGuy]

They seem to be selling quite well. 400 mile radius from me shows less than 20 in inventory

[@re1ko]

awd would own the battery

[@mitsu.hadeishi]

Don't jump on the Kona before trying a Niro. We own an I5 and a Niro and I've driven a Kona Ev as a rental many times and I feel the Niro EV drives much better. Give em both a try.

:( I just bought a 2023 Kona EV. I wish my Volt had lasted another year.

[@igiveupfine]

dammit. i don't entirely like that car, but i really, really like the CCNC. shoot.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

You won't have to wait very much longer for the refreshed 2025 Ioniq 5 if you prefer that

[@igiveupfine]

@@TheIoniqGuy my 2023 just got totaled due to bad weather last week. Not sure if I should start one of the amazing leases that are going on right now, or hold out for a 2025. I got spoiled by all the features my 2023 limited had. I would hate to go back a car that had "less than that". But 10% more battery, rear wiper, ccnc, full OTA updates and digital rearview mirror? Might be worth the wait.

get a model y rwd 260 miles of range 36k after federal tax credit 7500

[@katiecannon8186]

I personally hate the looks & the size. It’s ridiculous that we can’t have at least a few small cars.

[@loriallen67]

The size increase is a definite negative for me. I prefer the smaller size greatly.

2:13 W T F is that orangepeel of the paint?! Is that the quality expected to get from hyundai cars?! Dang, what a ripoff
