I think the id3 looks better with everything

Great review...Thank you!
We have had our 2023 Kona Ultimate EV (first EV) for 10 days now and have put 1800km's on it. We love it! Back seat room sucks but there is just my wife and I and neither one of us is riding back there. This car puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
The VW ID was on our radar but impossible to get in Canada...plus I am not a fan of too much touch screen stuff so the Kona wins there by being more like a regular car. Seating, ride and handling are superb - really happy with it.
Home charging is very economical, charging to 90% from 20% cost us about $4 (.08 cents a kwh between 7pm and 7am)...so running cost is about .01 cent per KM. Our Toyota RAV4 is about .16 cents per KM at current fuel costs here.
Anyway...great video and Thank you for it!

I obviously missed this video when you made it, but perhaps it was meant to be because I've just ordered a face-lift Kona (would you believe that the date for delivery is December or January!!!), so I've watched this at exactly the right time. Your videos are sooo different to all others and I think they're brilliant. You certainly picked up on several things that I missed (like the hard plastic on the door armrest - oh well, disappointing but I still agree with you that it's a great car).
I chose the Kona over other cars (iD3, Zoe) because it has adjustable lumbar support. I have back problems, so adjustable lumbar support is so important to me.
I was really looking forward to the release of the iD3 because I thought that the eGolf was such a good car. I was sure that the iD3 would set the benchmark for all future EVs, so I was a bit disappointed that some features of the Golf were missing from the iD3.
As I missed this video initially, I'm going to see if you've made one on the face-lift Kona exclusively. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for another clear, concise and informative video,  helping me decide what car to get

What a joy this video is. So many other reviews are about the people doing them, not what they are reviewing! I trust what you are saying...

Thanks for another great video very useful information

" oooh e-Tron" "Squirrel".  Live you passion and methodical analysis.  I do wonder if anyone has done a video of other EVs, especially Teslas, about 1st year battery degradation with the hard testing use you put your ID.3 through?

I have had my kona ev (2022) for 4 months now .... love it

I think for this price range the Kia Niro wins.

thanks for the comparison

This was so excactly what I needed, thank you!

Excellent content and perfectly acceptable production quality.

Great video.  Thanks 🙌

Anyone buying a used Kona, the best advice I can give is if it's low mileage and says Nexan on the tyres, factor in the price of four new tyres because they're dangerous outside of summer. Best EV i've had since 2015 and my first LEAF but terrible stock tyres.

The active cruise control on the id3 is amazing, car slows/speeds up just got to steer , it even knows the speed limit in road works

Had Kona 5 years now. Good as new. 67k miles and goes very well.  Brakes worn about 10%. Brilliant.

Great review, very objective, no hyperbole. Seems very little to choose between them, maybe depends on your brand association or loyalty. I like that the id3 you can simply jump in and go, and that the seating for a tall person (me) looks more accommodating. Thanks again great review,am sure you could have made it much longer (ie too long). Would be interested in your own 'scoring' of them n/10 for space, comfort,features, driving etc

Good review. Upgrading from an Ioniq28 costing £20k. A £30k+ ev is just too expensive if you use finance. So a used Kona or id3 are similar price in £20-30k price bracket. Kona Premium SE will be different from rest of range. Would only get Premium SE for spec.

Still waiting for OTA updates.  Car apparently on v2.4 but software shows 2.3.  I worry about quality if they can't even get a simple version number right.

I like the Kona more 😊👍

Der Kona ist um längen besser!
