Drove it and bought it. A huge improvement over my friends gen 1 Kona that is really a 2 seater with luggage. A week later I’m very impressed with the features and performance. The auto regen setting is brilliant. I disagree re noise level. It seems quiet compared to some other EV’s I have driven.
-
I think the previous model looked a lot nicer …
-
That episode about the 60,000$ replacement battery got me thinking that I have to wait a lot longer to own an EV. Makes no sense to me. It's wasteful, rather drive my small car
-
I have to say I wouldn't ever buy any EV or any other vehicle from Hyundai/Kia after the battery debacle with the one young man.
-
Looks like a BRAUN electric razor.
-
I keep thinking about the headlights placement, that probably will be a costly repair if you accidentally bump into something in a tight parking space. Eh, the active safety systems hopefully will do its job to prevent something like that happening
-
How much is a replacement battery for this one? What sort of things void the battery warranty?
-
I miss the smaller Kona, it was such a great size for suburban driving. Hyundai at least still putting out some fun looking exteriors at least with every other compact/crossover/SUV almost all just looking like the same generic bricks.
-
After that story about the battery replacement cost, I doubt many buyers will be flocking to the Koreans for their BEV's
-
How does the ride quality compare to the Niro EV? Niro appears to have a slightly longer wheelbase. Also, which car is quieter? Thanks in advance!
-
is the battery in this one more expensive than the whole car? Since I heard the news about the Ionia 5, I am a bit scare to buy another EV. Watched your Coffe&car video few days ago. The damage on the protection plate didn't look that bad and you have to write off the car. This just doesn't sound right.
-
I bet the battery costs more to replace than the entire car 😅
-
Even if you're not car shopping, watch A and Z for the sheer entertainment!
-
Zack, where is your lap belt @2:13?
-
I have zero interest in this car. Absolutely none however, I love hearing your take on it. Great job.
-
What more can I say? Hyundai / Kai is not on my list of possible purchases. 😮
-
I have to agree with Zack. I'm not liking the front of the car. It looks like the back when viewing it quickly.
-
don t like the rear exterieur design, around the rear wheels ... boring ... but i like you 2 guys !!! happy holidays !
-
I think this is one of the ugliest cars I've seen recently; brings to mind the same reaction I had when I first saw the Pontiac Aztek, which is saying something!
-
So how much is Hyundai going to charge us for the battery replacement this time around?
