Video Summary
Here is the summary of the Youtube video:The car reviewed is the Hyundai Kona N-Line model which has a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous seven-speed dual-clutch. The turbo engine delivers 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The car has available base 2-liter engine with 147 hp with 132 lb-ft of torque.
A Kona EV is expected to arrive next year. Standard features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 4.2-inch driver display, a 6-way adjustable driver seat, heated cloth front seats, keyless entry with push-button ignition, 17-inch wheels, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Note that heated front seats are not standard in the US. The N-Line model has Ultrasuede and leather interior, red trim, and stitched steering wheel. The power lift gate is only available in the top trim level. In Canada, AWD comes standard, but it is an option in the US. The reviewers noted there is some turbo lag and misses of the old dual-clutch transmission
The previous turbo Kona version was like a hot hatch, but now has turned from a hot hatch into a compact utility. The interior is described as a combination of new and traditional design, with real switches, dials, and buttons, as well as a futuristic single-pane info and instrument cluster screen.
