2022 Hyundai Kona Limited Review - Walk Around and Test Drive
• 2022 Hyundai Kona Limi... 
Авто/Мото
Love my new Kona Limited FWD. Highway trips actually average close to 38 MPG. The turbo engine has plenty of power for passing and merging into traffic. I had a roof rack optioned on mine, so I added a roof storage bin to create more space for long hauls. I've driven my new Kona for just over a month and put around 1,500 miles on it. No issues, just great performance and utility for my urban lifestyle.
Update:
It's been a year and my experience, after having driven my Kona over 16,000 miles, has not changed. In fact, when I set the adaptive cruise control to 65mph my highway MPG, as rated by the car's computer, has averaged as high as 50 MPG on 2-3 hour highway drives. I've also discovered that if you need the extra power of Sport mode you can simply "kick" the center console gear shifter to manual mode (move the shifter to the left) and the car will switch from SMART (my daily mode) to SPORT. Despite being in manual mode the car will continue to automatically manage shifts for you, but now in SPORT mode. When you no longer need the power boost simply "kick" the shifter to the right and the car returns to SMART mode.
I'm also pleasantly surprised to find even with AWD, this might be the first vehicle I've purchased where the EPA rating, trip computer and actual mileage all agreed almost exactly under thoughtless, normal driving.
Easily a little more if I'm not at all aggressive, and admittedly a little less when goofing around with sport mode. 😁
Useful Review 👍. Hyundai is surely well ahead at this moment from its competitors, with its new generation designs , fun driving experience and brilliant technologies. No comparisons 👍
Sorry Hyundai is trash. They have been facing lawsuits from 2012 up until now in 2021 models for engines being built with bad connecting rod bearings. The only fix is a brand new engine. Look it up on Hyundai recalls and lawsuits. They denied the issue to thier customers the finally admitted it in court when they lost. How can a company make the same mistake over and over for almost 10years?
Love it
I really like the Kona N 2022.
Its worth mentioning that the SEL is the best selling of the trim options.
That's a neat little car..very nice.
We just bought a Kona SEL AWD and we are very happy with it so far!!!
What about space?
How much did you pay for it?
@@sassouusasoo3607 We paid $26K before taxes and was given what I would have sold my 2009 Mini Cooper on Marketplace. It is my wife's first new car and she wanted an extended warranty.
@@sassouusasoo3607 It is not bad on space... I am assuming you are wondering about room in the vehicle.
@@Dolfan0118 yes!Thanks for the info .I'm considering buying one .Thanks again .
I’ve had mine since December and I’m very impressed with how it handled the snow. No skidding whatsoever.
This is good to know! I live in Chicago & I'm thinking of getting one.
@@sonja4164 You will enjoy this car very much. As far as the engine, No recalls on that. The only recall is the horn which is a very easy fix. I was told the day I bought my car that the engine had no issues . It looks like Hyundai didn’t take that laying down and worked very hard to correct the issues that the earlier models were experiencing. I was going to get a Tucson but I’m actually very happy with the Kona and love the way it handles and the fact that I can’t remember the last time I filled the tank. It’s extremely conservative on gas and the only drawback which is workable, is the cargo space. But that doesn’t bother me in the least. I go to a lot of craft fairs and I’ve learned how to work around the cargo situation. But the snow handling is fantastic . Good luck finding one and I hope you enjoy it.
@@sandrapanico6357 great! Thanks!
@@sonja4164 You’re welcome.
the FWD or AWD?
I’ve owned a Kona for three years and I’m not surprised that Hyundai have produced a 300HP version. It’s cornering capability even in standard form is outstanding.
They have Kona N 278 HP again HP in these are underrated and highly tunable!
Where I live, the N-line is $30k plus + forced overpriced dealer options, tax, etc. This is more like $40K out the door.
Just bought one and I have the blind spot technology
What I'm about to say is a matter of preference on if a pro or a con. But the Kona is not the same size as the Crosstrek. It's almost a full foot shorter. Given this is the subcompact space, each can decide for themself if they want slightly smaller and more agile, or slightly bigger and a bigger boot.
I go absolutely nuts whenever someone knocks the slightly reduced storage of the Kona given this is the subcompact space. The shorter vehicle length was a major selling point for me. Easier parking! I'm also not one who understands what all this cargo people are hauling is though. I find it more than adequate.
I bought a 2022 Kona N Line AWD with the Tech package and after about 5 days and 286 miles the transmission went out on me while driving on the freeway. I had to wait a month for the new one to arrive. I know every car isn’t perfect but now I worry if the transmission will go out again when I’m driving.
I’m going for the kona N for sure
I wanted to but still unsure the pricing as some have stated over hitting mid to high 30s
im curious to see what they price the kona N at. In Canada the veloster N starts just over 40k. I have a feeling the Kona N will be around the same. a little out of my price range.
I'm really impressed, diamond in the ruff, well done Hyundai, top of my list for my next car, that & the new Honda CIVIC. Ty for an Outstanding review!
I rented a 2020 Kona a few months ago while I was in Houston, TX and I fell in love with it. I knew that it was in the top 5 choices for my next car now that I am on the market for a new one.
Where’s the drive mode on it ?
i'm going for the 2022 kona base. color black pearl
2022 Kona is a CVT unless you get the 1.6L turbo that gets a 7-speed. I think putting in a CVT in a small powered engine is a mistake. Having owned both classic Versa 4-speed and Versa Note CVT. CVT is terrible in smaller gas engines.
It is true that their engine can get on fire?? I’ve seen some videos from mechanics saying this, I’m kind of skeptical regarding their long term durability and the fire issue with their engine…
I currently drive a 2019 Kona Limited and can't wait until I lease my 2022 Limited at the end of this year, when my current lease expires. I wish the HUD still was available (our 2020 Accord has it). The safety electronics makes up for the missing HUD and I won't give up my leather seats, now that I've had them for 3 years! Yes, the N-line is cool, but add the tech package to the model, and you are paying the same as the Limited!!! Might as well get the Limited, with leather seats.
We don't have kids so who cares about the back seats. The 19.2 cubic feet of trunk space is perfect for our weekly grocery shopping and any other shopping trips I make.
In Canada they only offer the nline as the highest trim. its either a base nline or the tech package nline. i lease as well and im going from a base model 2.0l auto 6 speed to that lovely 1.6t dct. just waiting on production should get it within the month. i cant wait, the base model is already fun to dribe evem at 147hp. That sport button changes everything. so moving up to a awd with 50 more hp will be amazing.
@@garretshaver-phillips5828 and the tech increase adds leather seats btw
Do you have any thoughts on leading vs buying?
Is the Kona 22 better than the Kona 23
I visited my dealership today (10/11/21) to put a deposit down on the 2022 Kona Limited in Thunder Gray with gray leather seats. I take delivery on Saturday!! For a Monday (even with today being a Federal Holiday), the dealership was PACKED and lots of people buying cars (supply is so limited). Most people are paying ABOVE MSRP!!
Congrats on the new Kona Steven!
How much MSRP did you get it for?
I just put a deposit on a pulse red Kona Limited FWD. It's in transit and should be here in a few weeks. I'm trading in my 2018 Kona Limited.
Went with the same trim and color combination. Such an absolute joy to drive every day!
The SE has a 2.0L MPI..What is MPI ? and is 149hp weak? What is the torque value ? I like the size of it vehicle. Not huge like a SUV but not small and low to the ground like the Civic. Price is within my budget and gas mileage looks great. Will it last like the Hondas, I wonder. Thx
Can I open Hyundai Kona with a key
why is there not a button inside the car to pop the trunk??? I have kona sel.. and nothing
Just driving home in my Kona N-Line Ultimate now. Lots of nice things, comes with a huge Owner's manual and large Infotainment manual. Black is Bad.
Black is bad ? Like in a good way
@@nixc71 One thing that sucks, in my opinion, any color other than black or charcoal grey on the N-line(painted flares), the front fender flare just hangs in mid-air and looks goofy. It is really apparent on the really light colored cars. Black makes the N-line 'bad-ass' looking, especially when clean and shiny.
@@ya472 yea I’ve seen the all black ones their sick kinda reminds me of a Audi or BMW suv
These fill such a unique space in the segment as it's closer to a sporty hot hatch than utility SUV. Sadly Hyundai has forsaken this idea for the 2024, Gen 2 refresh, increasing the size for more room and producing the EV body styling for ALL the powertrains instead of just sticking with an SUV offering under the Ioniq nameplate. I suspect within 5 years Ioniq will spin off into it's own brand like they did with Genesis.
Things you should know about the Hyundai kona- there is a massive recall for poorly heat treated piston rod bearings that break apart and causes engine to stall,catch on fire or blow a connecting rod through the block. The fix? There is no fix you need a engine. Hyundai has been having this issue for 10years and managed to still mess it up again with the exact same part.
Hyundai has also worked with customers to replace the engine. You are just talking trash to talk trash! Every Kona with that problem has been fixed. Also it has only been around since 2018 dude, so how the hell has the problem been around since 2012!?! Also the 2018 hasn't had that problem period. Hyundai realized there mistake and has been fixing it for customers for free with no co-cost!
@@fireheartis1 I know you love your Hyundai but you do realize that power plant is also used in the sonata, elentra and Tucson right who also have recalls for the same engine. When I say 10 years, they have the same exact bad heat treated " connecting rod bearing" in previous engines they use is the past with the same bad part, you cant make this up. They even faced lawsuits for lying and trying to blame customers. Dont belive me type in Hyundai theta engine recalls and nu 2.0l gdi engine recalls and you see how far back they had engine problems with the same exact part. Know your facts before you call people out and get your feelings hurt.
@@RM-ub1xd Haha I drive an Accord dude. I am just stating facts.
Thanks, R M. I did a bit of research after reading your comment. It's true. Fucking car can literally explode. Jeez, thx man. Almost bought that shit.
@@d.lawrence5670 glad I can help. Alot of people do not know the issues with these cars. Dont get me wrong Hyundai/Kia came a very long way and make some beautiful cars and the price is right. But once you drive that car off the lot the problem is yours. Yes they will fix the recall or issue but who wants to own a vehicle knowing sooner or later it will have a issue and a catastrophic one. That doesnt sit well and obviously dealers will not tell you. If you can stay away from GDI engines and stick to multi port/port injections. GDI does not spray fuel from behind the valves so they would never get clean and get fouled with hard carbon deposits and you will loose perfomance and rough idle. A catch can only slows the build up.
Why is the automatic car starter not long lasting? I find when I turn my car on from inside the house, in 5 mins it shuts off. Not even enough time to heat up or defrost snow
Hi, I just got mine yesterday, but on the website and app you can set the default from 1 to 10 minutes.
@@mcondor oh really! Do you know how?
@@saraspolnik4282 In the myhyundai app or webpage and select start the are 4 presets. select edit the preset, and you can set the temperature, defroster, heater and engin duration from 1 to 10 minutes.
@@mcondor found it! Thank you for this. Much appreciated
Pricing for the N line is no way near as he stated , get the tech package comes in at 30,100!
The N-Line starts at $25,500. Tech package is an additional $2500 and AWD tacks on another $1500. Giving you a total of $29,700 before taxes and fees
@@BostonAutoBlog Yeah and if you get floor mats, cargo net, roof rails and add in destination charges, my wife N-Line (Thunder Grey) cam in at $30,060 MSRP
LOL the Crosstrek is significantly larger than it. 177"L x 71"W x 64"H vs. 166"L x 71"W x 61"H. It's way longer than the Kona
1. The 2018-2021 models look MUCH better. The redesigned hood is a step backwards
WTH .. were they thinking for the 24. They killed it's style. They made look like a Tesla. That's why I went with a 23.
Funny, the Kona has 195hp and the Seltos only 175!
Seltos still has the old 1.6 , once the year change it should have the newer HP
I was hoping but the 2022s came in with 175
yea the trunk sucks
