Good job Mike! You've improved so much! A lot more natural these days, and less robotic. Sometimes you repeat the same words in segments throughout the video (Constructive feedback). Im not a fan of SUVs, but Hyundai did an excellent job with this one! The ergonomics are great, and the cargo room is awesome! Keep getting better my man✊
Thanks JC! Hey the funny thing is I noticed that too on some videos and i told myself to try and switch it up a little more. But I appreciate you! Thanks for watching 🥳 and happy new year!
I did a test drive of this, and omg such a poor drive, my ioniq hybrid drives like a Mercedes instead of this. This is a really tight Kona, way too much. Looking for the Santa Fe PHEV or the Ioniq 7.
"N Line"? Really? That is a bit rich. Most car buyers are still not sold on the proper Hyundai N cars, why would I want a fake N car. I know the fake M cars have been popular for BMW, but they have decades of brand recognition.
Excellent review! The new Kona looks to be a solid option. I am glad the jerky dual-clutch transmission is gone. I have yet to experience one that filters out the judders and shudders in traffic.
The refresh Tucson in more inline with its other siblings with the interior, but the exterior is still fresh enough to be related to the Kona. The Venue is already refreshed almost 2 years in India and a year in Australia, but there's no spy shots of the updated model being tested on North America shores. Maybe Hyundai decided to neglect it.
You can get it fully loaded in Canada due to it being the top trim there. Hyundai need to bring a XRT (16-17in wheel with AT tires and increase ride height) trim to supplement the the N-Line. Everyone want to be off-roady these days.
I like the small vehicle but every new generation they keep making it bigger. If you want more room go buy the mid size suv which soon will be a full suv.😂😂😂
Upgraded 8speed transmission is quite smooth, cabin is quieter, space is noticeably more. they brought back a recent engine which is re assuring as there vehicle have gained alot of reliability and quality increased. 10 yr, 200k powertrain warranty as well
What the hell is Hyundai doing with their design?! This new Kona is just one more vehicle they ruined with its design in the last few years. Not only do their vehicles look terrible now but they will defitinely age poorly over the next couple of years and decades to come.
Hate the rear design. Looks like a frog face of it was stepped on. Nasty? Hyundai makes good looking vehicles. What happened here? Look at Mazda and its aging design is better.
give me a real kona N. non of this N-line crap. also love the front but the back half is a mess. looking at the wheel fenders with the lights... it looks soo weird. even worst that the kia ev6.
While others may review the vehicles you want to buy, Mike reviews the ones you actually buy.
Friends have a Kona. They're happy. Great job, Mike!👊

Love your reviews!
Got to spend a few days in a base rental kona. Was quite pleasantly impressed. Quiet, smooth, got everything you need. Good stuff
Great job where you been. Finally a tall guy to show me the way.
Haha I’m here! Happy to give the taller folks some insight
Great review Mike!😸
Great Review!!!
Loved the intro 🎉
This guy is great! Looking at a Kona for myself and this video was very helpful
Great review ❤
I think the futuristic look works here. I think younger buyers will love it
I like it! I just wish there was a hybrid.
It's Hyundai version of Kia Niro, so ICE, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full EV versions will be sold.
@@ThisGuyRidesI don’t think the us is getting the hybrid version of it though
You would think that but they do not have a hybrid listed on their website. @@ThisGuyRides
Where is the hybrid?
My 2019 kona cabin noise while driving is atrocious. How is the new model?
just curious if they will offer a manual in the N version.. and a sunroof..
Gotta love the Robocop reference! 😂
Hyundai car insurance is more than car payment. Be careful what you buy. 😅
I have a 2024 AWD and my insurance isn't high at all
They need to dial back on the bumper lights and turn signals. I’d prefer the Seltos to this
I would definitely consider buying it for a dollar.
You had me at Robo Cop.
Why are you not using the parking brake?
Parking brake automatically applies when you park
Nice hyundai

I like it, but I’d go for the Venue for its more conservative (surprisingly) looks

Looks a lot better now. Looked like an economy car before
It is
I think that's a running theme with most vehicles these days. Too bad though, as the economy car is an important vehicle segment to have IMO.
Who goes to the mall anymore…?

I’d buy that for a dollar!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
MIKE DANGER!!!
What up Trey!
And how easy is it to steal?
Only ev Kia and hyundai are the ones being stolen
The new Hyundai Kona makes the Hyundai Tucson look old, and also what happened to the Hyundai Venue?
The refresh Tucson in more inline with its other siblings with the interior, but the exterior is still fresh enough to be related to the Kona. The Venue is already refreshed almost 2 years in India and a year in Australia, but there's no spy shots of the updated model being tested on North America shores.

A small bump with another car and say bye to your headlights.
My son is g ft. 2. Gonna show him this.
The n line is the best looking version but you can't get it fully loaded. I don't understand why manufacturers do that.

Pro is still smaller engine, most suv are v6 or greater
Hopefully, their engines don't self-destruct like many were doing

I have tried to appreciate this thing...but nope...too many weird shapes that don't match. The EV makes more sense.
Dead wrong...the design fits perfectly.
What gas does this car take
87 regular
Hyundai just gave up on a common design language.
"Parametric surfaces..."??? You mean there is a dial somewhere that changes the shape?
Looks cheap and fragile the front dash board is just atrocious!!😅 no thanks ill pass. Hard pass!!!
What the hell is Hyundai doing with their design?! This new Kona is just one more vehicle they ruined with its design in the last few years. Not only do their vehicles look terrible now but they will defitinely age poorly over the next couple of years and decades to come.
Prefer previous model.
If you’re asking does this look better in person? No… no it doesn’t.
This car looks just too weird, even though I quite like it.
The tail lights just ain't it
Hate the rear design. Looks like a frog face of it was stepped on. Nasty? Hyundai makes good looking vehicles. What happened here? Look at Mazda and its aging design is better.
Ill buy it for a $1.00
Robocop... classic..Mike .. watch BUCKAROO BANZAI... Peter Weller prior to bring a cop
All bs, electronic very complicated, difficult and distracting. Gas tank shows numbers on its own. Not happy
HONDA CR-V ALL DAY,AND NIGHT😅😂
Looks horrible.
Weird design. Looks like a car from a sci-fi flick.
give me a real kona N. non of this N-line crap. also love the front but the back half is a mess. looking at the wheel fenders with the lights... it looks soo weird. even worst that the kia ev6.
