Hyundai Downslide

2022 Hyundai Kona N 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8AM)

I owned a Hyundai Veloster non-turbo, and turbo (pre 2018 redesign). The 201 HP turbo is pretty lightweight and fairly quick, has fantastic leather seats, a much better designed interior, and enough interior padding to not be called cheap. The discontinued Veloster N and the soon to be Kona N (for the exact same reasons) are HUGE disappointments. The entire focus is on the engine, and at 275 HP, should in no way, shape, or form be priced higher than a 4 cyl 315 HP Mustang, v6 305 HP Challenger or 335 HP Camaro. Demanding $ 33 to 36,000 dollars for a car with horribly cheap plastic, non-leather seats, stiff ride, useless Summer tires, and not very good MPG is LAUGHABLE. The same attributes are why the Veloster N could not sell well, and there are plenty used online. * I drove the (hatchback wagon-not SUV) Kona N and was extremely unimpressed for all these reasons. The seats are ridiculously cheap. Hyundai put ZERO EFFORT into improving the interior. The profit built into this car's COVID ERA PRICING is outlandish and will be the downfall. Remember. THIS IS NOT AN SUV. Auto industry writers mistakenly called it that, but you realize that in the first ten seconds standing in front of it. Spend your money on something else that won't depreciate 5 GRAND in the first year, just like the Veloster N.

Loving my new Kona.Smooth ride. Loving the gas mileage too. I do a lot of driving and I’m getting 27-33 miles to the gallon around town! That’s the best during the Biden’s rise in gas prices.

I purchased by 2022 Kona in June 2022 and loved it the gas mileage is great, we wound up in gettysburg day 2 of having the car and wound up doing over the speed limit at first because we never had a quiet car like this. We then found that the cruise control is smarter than us and will actually keep the right distance between you and the front car. The heat, ac, cruise control, lane assist all of it was great trunk space was nice and it fit my young nieces nicely in the back. Now, why am I saying was and why is this marked safety? Welll 09/09/23 Myself, my other half, my bestfriend and her daughter (one of my younger nieces) were in an accident. We were T-Boned on the passenger side by a Truck on a rainy night, I was in the passenger seat and my niece was in the back passenger seat my other half driving and my bestfriend in the back driver side. This was not a low speed impact and bent in most of the passenger side, but between myself getting bounced by 3 airbags and my niece having one go off by her seat (she is two). We came out pretty okay, I got whiplash and a concussion, my niece got whiplash but is fine otherwise, my bestfriend got whiplash and a concussion from the impact and my other half just had a bruised wrist. I don't think without those 3 airbags on myself, and the one on my niece that we would be here in once piece considering the hit the car took. Overall the safety features on this car are great and if I had to go through that again I would do it in another Kona (though I would rather not get T-Boned again)
