2024 Hyundai Kona N-Line Review: Going Bold


Listen Later

Hyundai expanded its crossover lineup with the first generation of its popular Kona all the way back in 2017. After seven years, and one N Variant, Hyundai’s Kona entered its second generation for the ’24 model year. This second-gen Kona carries over the powertrains from the first-generation, but holistically revamped interior and exterior styling, and added a hefty amount of consumer tech. Joining the updates for the latest Kona is Hyundai’s massive media and driver display, and a column shifter. Powering the gas-burning Kona is either a 2.0-liter I4 in base SE and SEL models or the turbocharged 1.6-liter I4 in N-Line and Limited variants. The 2.0-liter sends 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque through a CVT, whereas the turbocharged 1.6-liter mill sends 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic.

On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the ’24 Hyundai Kona N-Line and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the latest Kona and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the Hyundai Kona, where the Kona sits in the market, and about the first-generation Kona’s spectacular N model. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the ’24 Hyundai Kona special.
