Hyundai Kona

[iphone8]

I know Tucson is also has plastic but it doesn't *look* so plasticky. But Kona the moment i open the door and look at the dashboard it has that "cheap plastic" look. I didn't even bother to go inside to sit. I was THAT turned off.

 

Yes I know they can't make it better than Tucson but i just feel they could have found some middle ground.

How about the interior space between Elantra and Kona?

Which car has bigger space?

Difficult I guess unless side by side... but then again my estimation not so good... anyway I think based on Elantra platform right? So the space won't be much different except perhaps for headroom...

 

Edit: seems like it's based on the i20 platform...

Hard to tell because the showroom didn't have elantra and as i said earlier, upon openning the door and looking inside i was so disappointed i didn't bother to get into the car.

 

Whereas when i saw the Kia Stinger in the Kia showroom it was a completely different story haha.

No la i don't mean to compare. Just saying the difference in my reaction of whether a car makes me want to sit inside or not.

I don't expect much for the Kona lar... it's am entry level SUV in a mass market brand... can't be too exciting right?

The Kona does look better in real life than in pixs

The greyish black plastic cladding on orange doesn't help does it?

Spotted on Hyundai SG website pricelist. Seems like Hyundai doesn't make an automatic version of the Kona with the 1.0 Turbo engine.

What I saw in the website is 1.6 DCT turbo and price is $137,999. And it is more expensive than Tucson.

How come Kona can be more expensive than his big bro?

Funny price.

OMV for Kona will be higher than Tucson?
