Drawn from 1,011 comments on MotorMouth's Kona videos posted since 2023 on the MotorMouth YouTube channel. Question themes sit apart from verified vehicle facts and help prepare a more useful test drive.

Gas or electric?

Electric and hybrid power is the most discussed theme, raised in 230 comments. Gas Konas use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with an IVT, and the N Line uses a 1.6-litre turbo with an eight-speed automatic. The Kona Electric has a 64.8 kWh battery and a 201 hp motor driving the front wheels, with a standard heat pump and one-pedal driving controlled by the paddles. One Kona Electric buyer wrote: "A week later I’m very impressed with the features and performance. The auto regen setting is brilliant."
