Can't wait to get actual driving impressions. Looks nice. Hyundai is doing great things with EVs and driver assist technologies.

[jghall]

Not feeling that charge port location. A minor front collision might render the car undrivable.

I will happily change my old Kona with the new. So beautiful I love it

[OldThomMerton]

I am liking the interior, especially the tuning buttons. Love the exterior as well.
- looks more like an original Cylon to me, Roman.

[mrtupeq]

the interior design is so well thought out! Looks super fresh and practical, also I have always loved 3 pole steering wheels just like Hyundai has implemented here !

[genesishep]

Actually, it was the Pontiac Aztek not the Cherokee that started the flipped headlight/marker thing. The Aztek was mocked so badly for it's looks I find it ironic that so many of its design features are now used today.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing the kona ev I'm tired of looking for a gasoline station

[Snerdles]

Being in Canada I'm not a fan of front charging ports. Road spray freezes on the front and seals your charge port closed.

I have enough trouble chiseling out my side port after a storm.

I am 6’2 tall and when i tried to sit in the current Kona EV behind the driver’s seat set for my self was no leg room. I see in the new one the rear leg room is just slightly improved. I have Bolt EUV now after GM replaced my Bolt EV. They both seems smaller on outside than Kona but have plenty of rear legroom and headroom.

I was pretty impressed with the '21 Kona EV and was pretty impressed comingnfeom a Bolt owner. The cruise control/lane steering was very good. A bit more room, too, compared to the Bolt. Lastly, it was surprisingly more efficient, I thought, compared to the Bolt.

Wondering how much a "simple" front-end collision fender-bender will set you back. Charging port in the front with those array of LEDs

[whattheschmidt]

8:03 I don't get why people say this. You have to then back out after charging. If you back in when you arrive, you get to see your surroundings, have an easier time backing up, then when you leave you just go forward, easily! It's not only easier to back in to a charger, it's safer! I hate parking and leaving busy parking lots with people and shopping carts everywhere and if I had to I would make it so I wouldn't have to back out.

[chrisnewman]

I’m gonna be interested to see how they position pricewise against the Ioniq, five and six

[Blahblahblacksheep]

5:42 it's really beautiful but I got the bolt EUV, Thank You to your son for the encouragement. Which was eligible for the $7500 credit as well. $35k OTD for premier with no other add-ons.

[Amiel]

I see big problem with the front headlight. They placed in area that gets hits a lot.

[TassieEV]

I've heard it's going to be 10-15% more than the outgoing model but will have to see. Love the interior hope the Australian model comes with it and hope it has a towing capability of at least 750kg(braked/unbraked). The heated/cooled seats and also in rear is fantastic. I really like it. Hope it is launched in Australia simultaneously to rest of the world.

[ScubaSteveCanada]

It has a rear wiper, it has battery preconditioning, it has a heated charging port door, it has better interior. It has relatively mediocre charge rate of 100 KW. Average today is 150 KW ... and, not for only 5 minutes(Ford). I have an Ioniq 5, without a rear wiper, bad charge port location, without preconditioning and massively better charge rate(in the summer). I used to own a 2020 Kona EV and this redesign is a winner (with a few flaws).

[maga]

Hyundai design is much better looking than toyota hideous design.

[be]

I like this new design and front-charging port... does this really have 100 kW charging speed? Previous model had about 77kW and was only a that max speed for short time and ideal temps..

[ColJonSquall]

if they can get the charging rate up, it might actually be something to sway people. We should have more vehicles at the 150KW charging rate.
