2022 Hyundai Kona N - POV Prototype Drive (Binaural Audio)

This thing is way more savage than I thought it would be. I like it.

That turbo spool with front tire squeal is so addicting! Sounds so good! Hyundai killed it with this one!

[@anthonyantoine9232]

I'm really curious how these handle. If it's any good, it may honestly be about the perfect little commuter/family but fun daily driver car, at least in this price bracket.

Define Rowdy ?

I think higher center of gravity and little more horsepower.

[@matty1053]

@@Perazzi11 you can see it struggle on take off. I have driven a Veloster N with DCT and it struggles but it’s definitely fun to drive. Honestly though this is nice as well, I like the updated tech in this vs veloster.

[@Perazzi11]

@@matty1053 he didn't use launch control and they didn't want because it added weight and complexity. They were saying its negative to the overall performance to do so while adding additional cost.

[@JTube571]

@@matty1053 Not everything is about 0-60. People are obsessed with 0-60 times these days and it's terrible. You buy cars like this for lateral g-forces. If that isn't your thing, go buy a Charger or something.

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

More weight, higher cost. Defeats the purpose of N.

[@nighttimestalker]

Now we need a Tuscon N. Not the shitty appearance package they did. An actual N version. The hybrid 2022 Tuscon can already push 0-60 in less than 7 seconds with just 226HP. Could only imagine how fun that thing would be with the 280HP N engine lol

[@irockz9723]

It's going to have 350hp apparently

[@jasonlillis3437]

if hyundai/kia could just get their customer service and dealer network sorted out they would be hard to argue against because they nail their packaging.

[@omarmuhyar2005]

Needs AWD. Would be a WRX and Golf R killer + distribute power evenly without all the wheel hop. Also would do well in snowy states and mountains where AWD is necessarily (I live in Utah) and turbos combat power loss at altitude. Honda seems like the only manufacturer who has 300hp FWD down without causing major imbalance issues.

Where is the AWD? It is having traction issues being 2WD. How stupid having this be 2WD. Very BAD choice from Hyundai. I had money down on one and pulled it because it is 2WD. AWD is $1,400. IF ONLY Hyundai had any form of foresight.

[@trialbygaming4588]

Way too many downsides. Cost, manufacturing, reliability hit, and the fact that the N brand is just not proven yet, you and I might be willing to pay the price but any others start seeing the price tag and start wandering to other more proven brands.

[@tedtedness184]

@@trialbygaming4588 Way to many upsides. It is just a simpleton AWD upgrade for $1,400 all the engineering is done with other models, let allow the Kona sub models.The N brand is already proven. We have 3 years of proof. IT is just plain and simple a stupid move on Hyundai's part. The Kona N in AWD would be bumping up on cult status. Not to mention pulling from Golf R owners, there would be new Subaru WRX would be buyers and some Audi S3 owner trickled in there too. NOW you have a lifted for no good reason car that is crippled by it's high roll center. Every good tester states it. Hyundai "botched" the Kona N and too many people you who have never driven a AWD performance car are clueless to their advantages in so many areas. What you lose in weight you gain in a far better balanced car.

[@trialbygaming4588]

@@tedtedness184 I owned a WRX. In most scenarios I get the use case, I just don't think hyundai new if the price would scare customers, it's always been the value proposition, and I agree it's the aquiles heel, but with that said no one else in the CUV market offers this level of performance unless you refer to the luxury brands.
