It’s definitely a bit of an improvement overall on the existing model, and looks a bit more modern inside and out. Some of the features which Hyundai themselves claim are new though are actually already present in the existing Premium SE version.

Steering and suspension improvements are welcome, but I’d be interested to see some reviews on if/how the drive and driving controls have been improved, as that’s where the existing Kona is most lacking IMO.

Great not aloud to get it because I have something being delivers on the 12th the old style one not impressed

#7

Review here based on an ICE version, but sounds like the improvements are likely quite modest.

#8

Surely you could swap on the 12th of May although granted that would involve another delivery charge. Remember though that you can use any reward points towards it. At least that way you would have first hand knowledge of whether the 2021 model is worth the extra.

#9

@E7EV yeah i can order from when mine is delivered on the 12th next week l, it’s just if they have any left. They probably won’t have much stock of it.

#10

It’s a shame they won’t let you stay in what you’ve got and get the new one when it’s available. I’m sure someone else would have your 2020 Kona without it having any downtime. Maybe they already have someone lined up for your present vehicle.

#11

@E7EV yeah to be honest I’m having to charge every day at the minute in the 208 it’s driving me crazy. Il just have to hope there is one still next week.

#12

Do you have the GT or the GT line? I think you posted a pic of it (is yours a yellow one?) in another thread but I can’t find the post now. I’m guessing there is no difference in charge between the two models. Mine is being delivered later this month and the horror stories on range are concerning…

#13

Good to hear but new car… let me laugh

#14

Yeh because Elmo are adding totally different models each week aren’t they :wink:

I’m a bit spoilt now as not currently doing much mileage and have a public charger across the road accessed via the Shell Card.

Mine’s yellow! Don’t be too apprehensive about the range. Wait and see how it fits into your lifestyle. Mine still puts a smile on my face.

Do we know what date they are available from

#18

I get the older kona delivered 16th April so will be reviewing that for the channel not sure its worth then getting the newer one as people are only interested if they change battery and mileage,cosmetics aren’t peoples priority when getting an EV

#19

Granted not the priority but an important one to many. Myself and @Pinky_Ponk are examples of this :wink:
