RogerNg_185295 6th Gear June 22, 2018 Share June 22, 2018 How so.. Hmm. Perhaps they will detuned the engine. There's actually an exact engine version like out 1.0t engine with 100bhp tuned for fuel economy. Slap on a filter for exhaust and maybe can meet neutral band... To drop price They will simply take less profits. No need detune engine etc. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged June 22, 2018 Author Share June 22, 2018 the Kona 1.6T version does have much higher equipment spec and much more powerful engine, plus its 4WD too, which can be worth the additional premium over the 1.0T version, if you go for those features. though that pricing is also similar to the equivalent Tucson 1.6T model, which is overall larger in size and space and using same engine too, so it depends on your requirements. Is the 1.6T for Tucson also 4WD? Heard the Kona very cheap plastic.. especially the dashboard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolant 3rd Gear June 23, 2018 Share June 23, 2018 (edited) Is the 1.6T for Tucson also 4WD? Heard the Kona very cheap plastic.. especially the dashboard from what i've seen, the Tucson are all front wheel drive models, so thats one of the differences too. i guess the Kona 1.6T 4WD represents the highest spec Kona in the range with the most features. yeah, the Kona interior dash is plastic, not the soft touch material like in the Tucson or Santa Fe models.

teomingern 6th Gear June 23, 2018 Share June 23, 2018 Tucson is considered one class up from the Kona... that's why the interior is better... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolant 3rd Gear June 23, 2018 Share June 23, 2018 (edited) Tucson is considered one class up from the Kona... that's why the interior is better... yup, like most car brands they go by small, medium, large category... for sedan range is Accent, Elantra, Sonata. so for SUV range is Kona, Tucson, Santa Fe. the "small" category usually spec more for budget conscious buyers, so trim materials tend to be economical type (aka more plastic)..

teomingern 6th Gear June 23, 2018 Share June 23, 2018 There's extra small too... but not for this range... for the European range i10, i20, i30, i40/45... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roh96 6th Gear August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 Like to gather some feedback from Kona 1.0T owners. What sort of FC are you getting? Any known or common issues faced so far? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 Most owners in the chat group including myself getting 11+km/l. No problem so far at all. Driving it for 4 mths+ 8000+km. Not much below 2krpm, so I always whack till 3krpm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much below 2krpm, so I always whack till 3krpm. The real FC is quite far off from the manufacturer spec of 18km/l. Aim to go for a test drive this weekend. Hope to go back to manual shift but not many choices of manual car..haiz Edited August 16, 2018 by Roh96 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gear 1-3 goes to 3krpm, thereafter 2.5-2.6krpm Yep, depends on normal road or highway. Mine is a lot of normal roads. Nothing less than 3krpm for me before changing gear so that's why FC like that. But just whack la! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red936 1st Gear August 16, 2018 Share August 16, 2018 Like to gather some feedback from Kona 1.0T owners. What sort of FC are you getting? Any known or common issues faced so far? hope you will order one too after this weekend. as for FC, 19km/l can be achieved on highway. so overall, mine is around 15km/l, 50% highway, it all depends on the traffic and driving style. however, even if the car is being push hard, the FC won't drop far too off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Have been monitoring prices and it seems to fluactuate between mid 80s to 90. Not much changes. Also there is zero used unit in sgcm, meaning all owners are happy with their Kona. That should be a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
