2022 Hyundai Kona Electric vs 2021 Tesla Model Y

While the Hyundai Kona EV and Tesla Model Y aren't exactly in the same class, they still have similarities. And, especially if Tesla comes out with the SR Model Y again, there are good and bad things about both.

Hyundai and VW EV are way better than Tesla in design. They kept traditional design, so that customer can look into it. Tesla hided everything under trunk. So if you have problem you cannot tell wht is wrong in Tesla. Hyundai and VW are smarter by keeping traditional car handling. I love it. Tesla, bye bye!!!!

🇺🇸 Y is currently $60k base. Waiting for BYD, Ev6, Bz4x, etc. More competition will bring price down and better range. Btw the 2.. Kona for around town. Neither for long trips. ALL EVS are appliances, basic transport. Govt and ev investors are really pushing EVs. Debate is still out on how environmentally friendly ev are. Electricity still requires coal burning power plants. Ev is not magic. Still very dirty. Just not at your tailpipes.

Kona actually does have a frunk option. If you look near the end of the manual it shows you how to take the tub out of the well in the trunk and installing it into the front. It significantly increases your boot capacity in the kona as well.

Holy moly! If YOU are saying "younger people", I must be OLD 😂😂ENOUGH

Nice burnout in the Kona EV!

Model Y is not compact!? It's a huge car!

[@brecherxp9795]

Ok, the Kona is way too small to compete against the Y. Esspecially legroom rear is bad. But a very efficient, very good car with funfactor, If you have grip! You can go for the Kona if your children are under 14. There too much hard plastic in the lower trimms of the Kona for themoney! Only the Premiumversion is fine.

I just ordered my Hyundai Kona EV today in the UK 😊👍 I was told I will have to wait till September to get it 😔

[@caireenbrain9612]

Which tires come with the Kona? Would changing the tires help with traction?

While I appreciate the work that went into this review/video I would have to point out the several flaws. This is the older model Y which is discontinued v. the brand new 2022 Kona. As noted in your review the Tesla is built to be an electric car and the Kona is built on the existing ICE platform. Also as noted in the review are the size discrepancies but it was what I would consider severely understated.

I have the european version of the Electric Kona. Personally I love it, but I never drove a Tesla to make a comparison. The main reasons I bought it instead of a Tesla 3 are: price (Teslas are imported and therefore more expensive, european Hyundais are manufactured in Slovakia) and physical buttons (I'm probably getting old).

[@nancyradford8166]

I love our Tesla and we are getting ready to purchase a Kona EV (when we can - availability is not good right now). However, not mentioned is that there is no handles above the doors to grab onto as a passenger in the Tesla. That has always bothered me when my husband drives. We are getting the Kona for our second vehicle as I have always driven smaller vehicles and the Tesla feels a bit large for me.

[@thatevchick]

Reviewing the Konda wed cannot wait but I am not sure you could compare to model Y such a difference in price

[@DaleSanger]

There is also the ECO+ mode on the Kona
