It's a neat little SUV, and I'm definitely not the target, but when I realized it was FWD-only (no AWD option), it sort of ruined the whole thing for me. I understand why they did - it allows them to share with the Veloster N - but it somewhat defeats the purpose of an SUV. And in a performance application, the AWD would likely be even more welcome.

the front looks good on first glance. its like a cheap small Urus. The whole racing suit and checking tire pressure at race track is a bit too over the top though lol. Nice that they are offering a DCT and curb weight is around 3200-3300 pounds.

Also it should sound like the Veloster N so that's a huge plus as its one of the better sounding 4-cylinder's on the market right now.

I've always liked the look of the Kona but I feel it's a bit of a missed opportunity not to offer AWD seeing the Veloster N already exists. Most people purchase CUV/SUV's with AWD in mind so it just feels like a vehicle that doesn't have much of an audience. I think the Kona N-Line will be the better vehicle for most people as it gets a HP bump to 195 hp and has AWD.
