2022 Hyundai Kona N POV Review - It's Bonkers! [Car Obsession]

2022 Hyundai Kona N POV Review - It's Bonkers! [Car Obsession]

Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome to another POV Review. This time around it's the turn of a family crossover that's packing a firecracker under the bonnet - the new Hyundai Kona N. What we have here is essentially an i30N but in the bodyshape of a Kona.

Just like the i30N, the Kona N is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged four pot offering 280hp and 392Nm of torque. This is fed to the front wheels, but unlike the i30N, the Kona N is ONLY available with the new 8-speed DCT. 0-62 takes just 5.5 seconds, and the top speed is 149mph.

With a starting price of £35,820, the Kona N comes with a plethora of standard kit such as N styling, LED lights, keyless entry, tinted rear windows, 19" alloys, digital instrument cluster, head up display, front sports seats which are heated and ventilated, heated outer rear seats, 10.25" infotainment, climate control, heated steering wheel - the list goes on. As you can see, a lot comes as standard, and better still, the Kona N comes with a 5 year warranty, which extends to track usage.

I hope you enjoy my POV review - the main review will be coming soon.

Thanks for the ride! Can you imagine taking your wife and kids on a fast ride with this car ? I wonder what their reaction would be.
I’m a die hard fan of motor cars. I can’t imagine owning an EV someday. I m lucky that in my car, I can choose between full automatic ( for my wife and daughter) and semiautomatic mode for me. I enjoy changing gears with the paddle shifts.
A maybe stupid question. How come that when I use M/T I can hear the engine ( lovely sound I wouldn’t like to miss ) and when We drive in automatic mode, I hardly hear the “ roaring” of the engine?

Great suv but not good on wet conditions

Why it holds the 4th gear for so long when you drive in auto?it's should be changes gear up when you drive faster right?

These PZero tyres are very bad in rain.

Should have said “I Kona care less” about the driving gloves.
