  • The new Hyundai Kona is brilliant! It has all the right upgrades under the hood, on the inside and a stylish exterior. However, when living with the new Kona you'll discover it's most frustrating feature - a speed limit warning.
    It's a feature you have to turn off every time you start the car and isn't 100% accurate. I've tested plenty of other cars without this type of feature, so I'm not entirely sure why this speed limit feature had to be implemented this way in the new Kona...
    Otherwise, it's the ideal upgrade for many who want a jump into a majorly improved Kona.

    I have a current base model and by far the wost feature in the safety systems is the driver attention warning that can't be turned off...if you're driving on bad roads as like north or western Queensland where the shoulder is all potholes and in pieces and have to cross the centre line the attention warning goes into Defcon 3 flashing the idiot light on the dash and big-bonging all the time + keeps turning the lane keep assist back on.
    Now when I drive out of town I block the camera on the windscreen to shut it all down.... actually makes the car enjoyable to drive.

    Oh those safety features that just don't work, hopefully Hyundai will sort it super speedily cos it can damage their reputation. Excellent review as always 😊

      It's a EU requirement, so I just wish there was a local software change, or simply a EU legislation change for this one particular feature.

    I have this very same car. I find nothing annoying about it. I love my car.

      Fascinating. Of course, it's just my opinion. But always wondered what owners think about that speed warning beep.

    If you don’t like the chime sound when you exceed the speed limit read the manual. You can change the offset so if you do exceed the limit it won’t chime. I did it on my 2024 Kona Limited the first day I owned it in the United States. No need to be annoyed mate😮

    • @ProductReviewCars

      No option to change the offset here in Australia. It's a EU law that mandates the same chime to sound every time you turn the car on and off. The US does not get the same system as Australia gets - to my knowledge.

      I set mine to 10 MPH higher. Not that I’m a speeder but you’re right. That could be annoying. Cheers Mate.

    No worries. It don’t bother me. However it takes a lot ,a lot to get on my nerves.

    All the ADAS features have to be on by default otherwise the vehicle cannot attain a 5 star ANCAP rating. Turning them off by default would make it pointless to fit them in the first place. Drivers of EVs need to know that just like a pilot they now have to do a pre-drive check and turn off all the features they don't want before they start driving and then remember that when the y get out of the car all the features they turned off will be reactivated. Don't do it while the car is in motion as you will have your eyes off the road for a considerable period of time as you navigate through menus - that dangerous for you and for other drivers.

      its 5 star ADAS (Europe) rating. ANCAP doesnt need speed limit warning. Tesla car has speed limit warning, but you can turn it to just show blinking alert in your screen instead of annoying beep. The worst is, the one in Hyundai doesnt recognise School holiday and beep crazily when we drive 50km/h on a school zone when its school holiday. Love the Kona, but the speed limit is so stupid.

      @@d3n0tz_ Thanks for reading my comment and responding. In my view some of the ADAS features are useful (although I don't have them on my car it is too old) especially for other road users. The lane keeper assist and the blind spot alert are useful in cases where a drive is making a turn or a lane change and doesn't realise there is a cyclist or motorcyclist in the lane they are attempting to turn into. Every motorcyclist (of which I am one) has had an experience like this and it usually ends with SIDSYM (Sorry I Didn't See You Mate).

      @@rogersmith5371 Definitely mate. Dont get me wrong, I love the new Kona (even have exactly the same one as reviewed here, for a lower drive away price of course. But the speed warning is the only thing I hate about the car. For now, I dont mind turning it off everytime before I drive the car. The only thing I dont like is that all Hyundai salesman will tell you that its for the ANCAP rating, which is not true.

    • @ProductReviewCars

      Totally understand why it's there, but it's not required for Australian compliance (to my understanding). A simple software fix would enable speed sign recognition without the beeping, or even just being able to disable it once and not have to do that every time you restart the car. You mention you should do this while stationary, but I'm predicting some drivers are going to try and do this while driving, as the speed beep only occurs when you're driving.

    I am genuienly super glad we dont get the chimes for the speed limiter. I would be turned off by it, a lot. Deal-breaker, even. God bless America, i guess

      RUclips has a neat little feature called playback speed, and you can slow it down
