- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2021
- The 2022 Hyundai Kona N is here. Actually, Hyundai will announce this new Hyundai Kona N this coming July here in Korea. But Hyundai have prepared a track day for journalists to show what this new Hyundai N - Kona N is capable of. This Kona N has the 2.0 Turbocharged gasoline engine making about 280hp and 290lb.ft of torque (290ps when NGS is used - so it makes a bit more power compared to Veloster N), engine is mated to wet type 8 speed Dual Clutch Transmission and unfortunately, this Hyundai Kona N only comes with FWD. We had time behind the wheel on both the public road and on the racetrack. So, enjoy the Track experience with Kona N, LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!

I really hope these N cars make a ton of money for Hyundai so they continue to invest in sporty cars
Yeah, good thought. Thanks for enjoying the Kona N review.
I do too
@@LowkiDaGod para
I would love to see Hyundai in F1
@@AsianPetrolhead ,,
I want everything KIA and Hyundai are releasing. I want them all!
Yes, hope you guys get this Kona N soon in your area!
Same here!
Their cars just makes sense, stylish and they keep wow-ing me.
I want a Kia Stinger, Hyundai Santa Cruz, Hyundai Kona N, and Hyundai Elantra N.
lmao
The Kona N looks great. I can't wait for them to show up in the US. I may wind up having to get one since many of my friends have the Veloster N, but I want more room than my Scion FRS currently has.
Yes, Matt hope you guys get the Kona N soon in USA.
This is going to sell like pancakes....
Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Yes, i think Kona N will received much more attention than Veloster N.
@@AsianPetrolhead there was a rumor when the veloster N pop out on sale that dealerships where asking up the MSRP price. Do you think this might happen with the Kona N?
@@Vazztudio probably, there are many of us waiting on this car.. lol
@@Vazztudio
They're hyundai dealers literally selling the dct veloster n for 37-38k msrp
European market also widely for sale, thank you!.👍🏼😉😁😎
I might have just found my daily
Yes, J R. This Kona N should be very practical.
Another home run for Hyundai, with this and the Elantra N on top of the Veloster, Hyundai is going to be a top competitor in the United States markets for sure.
Yes, this Kona N looks very promising.
You are having more fun in this car then the much faster rides! Lol looks like tons of fun! 😆👍
It a lot more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow ;)
@@danepher not a slow car though
Wow Charlie looks like you had a lot of fun!! The Hyundai Kona N looks like another winner for the brand. The Hyundai group is doing amazing things .
I'm very impressed with their focus on bringing out compelling vehicles .
Yes, Wild Bill. I think this Kona N will be the volume seller for the N brand.
Charlie! As always! Great job with your content! This was such a fun video to watch. Now I want one!
Thank you l2n1x for enjoying the KOna N review.
So much fun n like always, awesome videos. Keep them coming!
Thank you DG. Yes, this Kona N was fun!
Thanks for showing all the colors my favorite is the new sonic blue. It looks quite capable on the right surface of having a lot of fun. Great review and thanks for showing the extra functionality on the center console display.💯
Yes, i love Sonic Blue for this Kona N. Thanks Gary.
Great video... thanks for the ride-along. Fun car for sure, and the price is right.

Yes, this Kona N was so much fun!
@@AsianPetrolhead yea...you did awesome review...does the popping sound great?
Looks like fun Charlie! To me, this makes up for the fact that we don't get the i30N in Korea. Love this new Kona N!
Yeah, John class i can share this track experience with Kona N.
Its so absurd that you guys don’t get the i30N in Korea! From a Korean car maker aswell!
@@dimitriG7 I know right!? We don't get the Kia Telluride either!
Thanks so much for this review. Looking forward to this getting to US!
Yes, hope you guys get this new Kona N soon in person.
Finally 😃 I been waiting for you to do video on cona n I love your videos you always pushing cars to limit this how you drive this cars👍👍👍 this is my nex car soon is this car will arrive to us thank you !!!and thank you huynday !!!
Thank you for enjoying the new Kona N review.
Great video. I really like the true blue N color, but that carbon gray one looks primo!
Yes, but my personal choice for Kona N would be the Sonic Blue. Thanks.
Cannot wait for this to come to Australia. Currently got an Optima GT, but in 3-4 years, I know what i'm buying. Hot dayum.
Yes, Bryce. Hope you guys get the Kona N soon in Australia.
I love my veloster turbo ultimate, but I’m really considering trading into one of these thanks to your review. Awesome job! Thanks for reviewing this one :)
Thank you Adam for enjoying the Kona N review. Glad i can deliver.
You were working really hard round the track and having lots of fun. The car seems a real bargain at that price.
Yes, Bill. I think the Kona N has the best value in its class.
Must have been a great ride around the track with the Korean Stig. I'm very impressed with what Hyundai has been producing recently.
Yes, Korean Stig really showed me what the Kona N can do!
You can thanks to German guy, former BMW chief for M- division
Great video and review! I wish it had AWD too, but might still look into it when it arrives in North america.
Yes, AWD would been very nice for this Kona N.
I like it if I needed a sporty suv but now I have a comfy Volvo 🥺☺️🤩 none the less amazing review! Hyundai is doing what nissan use to do with Nismo!
Thanks for enjoying the Kona n review.
I really don't consider this an SUV, it's just a slightly lifted hatch when you really look at it😉
@@klasseact6663 Yea Plus it has no AWD but it still way more practical then Veloster N for family purpose, I think this will sell well too ...
Okay.
I’ve been waiting for this review for weeks 😍 amazing car amazing review! This car is ridiculous
Yes, Emilio. This Kona N is ridiculous.
Wow! Very fun to drive " SUV"! Albert Biermann has done very well for Hyundai N division. I enjoyed the video...new subscriber.
Thank you for subscribing, it means a lot to us. Yes, this Kona N is so much fun!
Charlie you made my morning sir! Excellent review! Thanks sir!!
Thank you Stewart for enjoying the Kona N review.
Great review Charlie!! I could tell you were really having fun.. I agree with many others here, Hyundai will sell plenty of them especially if they're priced right..
Yes, Mal. Too much fun with this Kona N. Very nice & practical.
Great video Charlie as always!!
Thank you Alex for enjoying the Kona N experience day.
Great review! I don't have the Kona N but I do have the 2022 Kona Preferred and I really like it! Handles well and sometimes I catch myself driving too fast on the highway because it's so smooth!
Yes, James. I love Hyundai Kona, especially Kona N. thanks.
Looks so good! Just have a hard time ditching my limited as the AWD seems essential in my snowy climate :((
Yes, Quin. AWD would made this Kona N even more attractive. Thanks.
why am I more excited for this than the Veloster N?? Oh yea because I'm a dad hahaha definitely will get this when it comes to the states!
And Elantra N will be launched in July, so stay tuned. Thanks for enjoying the Kona N track experience.
What does that have to do with anything? You know the Kona has a marginally bigger interior right? Actually less in some dimensions. Its not an suv.
@@jaxrages8678 for 1, it's got 2 doors in the back...if you have kids, you know that's invaluable.
It's a subcompact crossover suv officially...so yes it is an suv, a small one.
Charlieeeeeeeeee... My man! I was waiting for this review. As always delivery is superb. My question is is the new Kona smaller than the 2020 soul?
Thank you ragged for enjoying the Kona N. Hyundai Kona N is longer, but Soul has longer wheelbase. Thanks raguel.
You look good in the helmet! haha, love the content as always~
LOL. Thank you for enjoying the Kona N review.
Ty for another gr8 commentary, video and in-depth content and yes I would sell my 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line and buy 2 (red & sonic blue) Kona N and love the stylish design and track ready performance and kick ass exhaust notes and I truly hope they offer it in the full EV mondels to come.
Thank you W J for enjoying the Kona N review.
great review thanks..
My pleasure Bob. Thank you for enjoying the Hyundai Kona N review.
Amazing! Great review and nice job Hyundai. Hopefully, NA gets them soon!
yes, hope you guys get this Kona N soon in N. America.
Great, i Iove it . Can't wait to buy one. Nice video too.
Thank you David for enjoying the Kona N review.
Excellent video and review! What color vehicle were you driving? The sonic blue? Can’t wait for this to be released in the USA!!
I was driving the Sonic Blue. I like the Kona N with the Sonic Blue. Thanks mchevownr.
The 20 second "nitro" button is BRILLIANT
Yeah, 10 more horses. LOL. Thanks for enjoying Kona N review.
@@AsianPetrolhead That seems pretty weak to me...it can't handle another 10 horsepower for more than 20 seconds? I mean, 10hp is barely noticeable. It's probably easier to tell since you have to physically trigger it but if it just did it automatically (a couple GM models come to mind) I doubt anyone would even notice.
Seeing him have so much fun with the Kona N makes me wish I can enjoy it myself too XD If I didn't purchase a new Hyundai in 2017, I probably would have considered this or the new Tucson. I really want that Tucson.
yes, i just had too much fun with the Kona N. Thanks SoW
Thanks. Really enjoyed that.
Thank you Ed for enjoying the Kona N review.
Loving it so far! That sound tho
Yes, this Kona N is quite fun!
Great video, cant wait to get one! I'm curious if the US model will have all of the same comforts like heated+cooled seats
Yes, hope you guys get Kona N fully loaded. Thanks Wiliam.
I am trading my 2019 Kona SE for 2022 Kona N when it comes to USA
Yes, this Kona N looks quite promising.
Make sure it has what they say it has cuz it wont have half of that even on brand new one.
same bro, this new kona N seems amazing
Nope. The new Kona N Line won’t have all this. Look up other reviews. I’m convinced it won’t be released in the US. I just found out I preordered some pos that isn’t half this.
@@AsianPetrolhead no this is not the US version
Yeah it's ok. Can't wait for the new Sportage though Charlie! Any idea when you're going to be reviewing that? Oh and great video :)
I am hearing July, i will be able to show you the new Kia Sportage. Thanks lain.
Looks great! Love to see you Drive the new Cerato/K3/Forte GT
Yes, I ED. I am working on Forte GT. Thanks for enjoying the Kona N review.
I'm excited to test drive this car! I am also waiting for the Kia EV6 GT but might have to lease this first.
Yes, John. Hope you guys get the Kona N soon!
Thank you for this , we can't wait to get it in the USA
Yes, hope you guys get the Kona N soon in USA.
Wien do you think to release in Europe?
Awesome video 👍🏼
Thank you Cody for enjoying the Hyundai Kona N review.
Espetacular grande profissional recomendo um grande abraço 🇵🇹
Yes, this Kona N is something exciting.
Excellent video, very informative. Thanks.
Can’t wait to see it in HK. May I know the fuel consumption in ECO or normal mode? Thank you
Thank you for enjoying the Kona N review. Yes, we will get the press car.
You're a great presenter and this is an awesome channel.
As a suggestion, please don't switch angles when you're on a ride-along with a pro driver.
If you want to show your reactions, do it Japanese game show style with your footage minimized picture-in-picture style in the upper right frame.
I'm certain you must have the full pro driver session recorded.
Please make the footage available to us in a separate upload!
Keep up the great work and coverage!
Oh, i see what you mean, i will consider that. Thank you for enjoying the Kona N review.
I want the kona n too! I currently have the 2022 kona limited. But the kona N is just so much more fun to drive
Yes, I think you guys will love this Kona N.
Looks like a fun little car and a great track layout with plenty of undulations. Makes you wonder how they found what looks to be the flattest piece of land in Korea to build the F1 circuit on back in the day..
Looking forward to seeing this when it lands in Australia!
Yes, hope you guys get the Kona N soon in Australia.
Best video bro 👍🙏
Thank you for enjoying the Kona N review.
Hey cool video! I switched from the Kona 1.6 liter to the Kona N 2.0 liter about 1 month ago and can only confirm that there is a huge difference. The car is noticeably better on the road, has noticeably more power and looks sportier inside and out. The comfort seats are also more comfortable, hold you better and are not only heated but also ventilated. In addition, the armrests on the doors are padded and not just made of hard plastic. My recommendation, if Kona then the Kona N or if you want to drive slowly and economically the very small 3 cylinder Kona. The 1.6 liter is not a good idea. It consumes a lot of petrol, but spoils the fun of driving because of the small brakes and poor chassis. I wish you a good trip!
I purchased my Sonic Blue Kona N for MSRP from Earnhardt Hyundai in North Scottsdale, AZ, at the end of May 2022. It now has 2112 miles on the odometer, most of which were accumulated on freeways over long distances and substantial changes in elevation. Confession being good for the soul, I must plead guilty to committing the ultimate N Sin: I've been driving the car in "Normal" mode almost exclusively since I bought it, and have only experimented with N mode a time or two. With the Kona N, "Normal" is anything but Granny Mode: The car is just so damn nifty-quick, the handling is confidence-inspiring, and the suspension feels just right. It's immensely satisfying to drive as-is, but it's also reassuring to know it is capable of delivering so much more ... under controlled conditions on the track.
Well, it's a brand new car, you just gotta give it sometime. And after an oil change, you can do all the N mode you want. Thanks ronforemna for giving us update.
I struggle with the Sonic Blue. It looks White. I need to see the Sonic Blue next to the Lunar White in order to make up my mind!
Great review as always!
Yeah, Michael. Love the Kona N with Sonic Blue. You have to see in person. Thanks.
1:37 - the fire graphic is... well... FIRE...!!! 👏👍
Yes, this Kona N is fun fun.
Great Reaction to this vehicle looks like it Could be a wonderful Drive 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, this Kona N is fun to drive.
Hi charlie i love the blue one even i haven't drive it feels me awesome to drive it 😊
Yes, this Kona N put a big smile on your face!
Love it! Love the Veloster, but man if i can get same performance in a slightly larger vehicle, im sold!
Yes, i think you guys will love this Kona N.
I just bought one and it's awesome! 😁
Congratulations, you are gonna love it. Thanks Daniel for enjoying the Hyundai Kona N review.
I absolutely love my Veloster N and have no doubt this thing will be fantastic.
Yes, this Kona N, i think you guys will love it.
Thanks for the advice you gave about the slippage of the car...😁😁😁
Thank you Roman. Yeah, just give it sometime.
Great video - where is this track located? Beautiful!
Inje Speedium. It is located about 2 hours drive East from Seoul. Thanks for enjoying the Kona N review.
Test drove the Kona N this afternoon. Getting the ultimate. It’s like driving a Sporty comfortable Santa Fe with better handling. As a dad with 2 kids it’s like the perfect cross between the veloster and the big boy suvs.
The Kona N isn’t even out yet 😂
Thank you for enjoying the Kona N review.
@@jtmg3218 you know what you’re right. I ended up getting the nline ultimate.
Nice impressions video and look at the Kona N. I’d prefer the red color.
Yes, David. This Kona N is quite fun!
That's the real trick that they've achieved Charlie total fun factor, and I think the rain hates you 😛 but it's good that it was raining as it shows much stronger just how capable the car is even in the wet!
Yes, wish it didn't rain. But even in rainy condition the Kona N handled nicely.
the exterior needs some time for me to get used to it....but the interior n the liveliness of the engines n sound really hook me up. great job Hyundai. i also love the new graphic design for digital cluster instrument when u put it in N-mode. hopefully Hyundai make more N version b4 went to fully electric cuz lots of people like N version since i30N were introduced. thanks Oppa for always bringing lovely video and always being cheerful and enthusiastic. stay positive, safe and healthy. tc.
Yeah, this should be an affordable hot hatch.
Wow...🤯. I love it.
Hello g70
Thank you for enjoying the Kona N review.
0 to 60 in? I want one... awesome 👍 review Charlie
No, time for that. We will give you update when we get the Kona N as a press car.
Great review and great car but unfortunately now is not the right time to buy any car in the US due to the short supply of auto parts especially the microprocessor chips resulting in over the top markups with some prices reaching $20k over MSRP
Well, true. But this Kona N is fun!
Very nice! I hope all those tech features make it to the US market.
Yes, hope you guys get the Kona N fully loaded in US. Thanks B J.
Better make sure its the kona n not the kona n line they got me i was thinkn hole time it was one from video but with a 500 doller chip and blow off valve i got same horse power.
This is great. Love the Kona.
Yes, i think you guys will love this Kona N. Thanks.
looks great
Yes, this Kona N is fun!
Not a bad review 😊👍
Kdm has a come a long way these cars from Kia and Hyundai are amazing 🤩
Also are these awd or fwd
Kona N is FWD. Thanks Ben.
Thanks for the review. I have a 2018 1.6T AWD Kona and really like it. It’s hard to explain but it feels like whoever designed it was a car enthusiast. No mechanical issues or rattles yet also. The N Kona doesn’t come with AWD but I feel that I don’t need the AWD function since I rarely drive in snow here in Northern California. When the N Kona comes to my local Hyundai dealer I will check it out. It has about 100 more horse power than my Kona and my Kona is already pretty perky.
massive power difference, Kona N is a beast of its own
Yeah, this Kona N handles nicely even without the AWD system.
My Kona was in FWD 90% of the time anyway. Thanks for excellent review. You have a good RUclips personality.
Just bought a N-Line With Ultimate package, not this one couldnt wait for it to get available in Canada, getting mine Monday.
Congratulations on your new Hyundai Kona. & thanks for enjoying the Kona N track day review.
Hey Mat, I bought N line 2 tone as well in Canada! How long did u have to wait for yours?
i believe im in love with the all white with red emphasizing the sportiness. the spoiler looks menacing and the triangle rain light matches the style. first mod would be wheels and tires, and straight pipe maybe even sway bars if its needed
I have a Veloster N... don’t straight pipe these things they are totally loud enough in N mode and being able to shut them up is super nice. Also wheels and tires kinda *ruin* (but not really) the car. I put Michelin pilot sport 4s tires on mine and they really don’t have the same feel as the pirellis. Cheers!
@@robertrobb9193 it's a state of mind.. feel better with aftermarket parts than oem.. but if oem works then I'll save some money
@@zumezoom9593 I’d feel better with my warrantied parts! You can beat it every day and not have to worry - that’s the appeal of these things at least to me.
@@robertrobb9193 oh, that is true. but the tire package warranty you can swap with aftermarket tires
white one is actually called sonic blue, it looks incredible and that's the one imma get most likely
Love your review. Can you turn off the popping from the exhaust, but still keep the performance? I think the popping would become very annoying. I’d prefer to have the performance without announcing every time I let off the accelerator.
Well, i think it will pop if you raise the RPM in N mode for sure. Thank you for enjoying the Hyundai Kona N review.
So basically I got a Kona too soon 😩 I would’ve LOVED this
Well, but this is N, you know. Your Kona should be better daily driver. Thanks Bryon.
That pricing is awesome for what's packaged in the car.
Much prefer Kona N over Veloster N ... Both are nice, just Kona N more versatile, IMO ... Great driving Charlie ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
Thank you Marc. Yes, this Kona N is so good for an SUV.
Hope the larger turbo can survive with a larger vehicle. I'm glad to see car companies making cool stuff like this.
Yeah, i mean, the Kona N felt agile and quick.
Just bought a veloster N a week ago and it is awesome but Hyundai just keeps getting better
Congratulations on your new Veloster N. And this is its brother.
@@AsianPetrolhead thank you I appreciate it
this thing is amazing. i really hop they make a tucson N
Yes, Tucson N would be amazing, too. Thank you for enjoying the KOna N review.
I have a 19 kona ultimate. It handles well, is fairly quick. I can't imagine another 100 hp-ftlbs of torque. Will make a hell of a sleeper
Yes, a bit more power would be welcomed for this Hyundai Kona N. And here's first drive on the Hyundai Elantra N. ruclips.net/video/FDGFNvQSs4c/видео.html
I took my very tall wife to try out what Hyundai had to offer. She loved both the Veloster (which has far more interior room than you'd expect) and the Kona. So getting a more powerful iteration of the Kona is a good thing, and puts it back on our shortlist for the new vehicle.
North American highways need more from an engine, especially in the mountains where we live. You can use vehicles with lower displacement or less horsepower, but you'll be slow, and end up frustrated behind traffic, or the one who frustrates others. This Kona N keeps that from happening.
Yeay.
Grey metallic ,dark performance blue, and black 👍👍👍
Yeay. Thanks for enjoying the Kona N review.
Drive the veloster n and its a hoot. Cant wait for this kona N and elantra N!!
Yes, hope to show you THE CORNER with Kona N. Thank you.
Can't wait for mine.. just traded my 2019 wrx for a white kona n line
Yes, I am sure you are going to love this Hyundai Kona N.
I would be in line for one tomorrow if Hyundai was offering the Kona N with a 6 sp.
Yes, this Kona N looks quite promising.
Is price is revealed?
💪🏻Wow!. 😍Yes!.
Looks really good.😎👍🏼
I waiting for next time more powerful Inline Twin turbocharger (=small and large turbocharger...) engine and 300-320hp... Performance package model.😎
THanks.
How is the torque steer and slipping at the line? Does it have limited slip diff?
Torque steer isn't too bad. Yes E-diff, this Kona N has.
