2024 HYUNDAI KONA REVIEW & DRIVE - A LOT HAS CHANGED FOR 2024

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Kona N Line represents a significant evolution from its predecessor, offering a larger, more spacious, and technologically advanced package. The reviewer highlights the substantial increase in exterior dimensions and interior legroom, making it a more practical choice for families and passengers. The N Line trim impresses with its 1.6L turbocharged engine producing 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters, providing a spirited yet comfortable driving experience. Key positives include the agile handling, surprisingly soft suspension, and the availability of all-wheel drive with snow mode. The interior boasts a modern design with dual USB-C ports, rear air vents, and premium features like the Bose sound system and a large 12.3-inch infotainment screen. While the N Line doesn't offer a power liftgate, the reviewer praises the overall value, technology, and spaciousness, concluding that the 2024 Kona is a compelling option in the small SUV segment.
