Talking Cars 426: Driving the 2024 Hyundai Kona
We share our first impressions with Hyundai’s redesigned compact SUV and answer your questions about misaligned steering wheels
Main theme: CR rented two redesigned 2024 Hyundai Kona SUVs from the manufacturer, and we share our impressions in this latest podcast. Does the new eight-speed automatic outperform the outgoing dual-clutch transmission? Should you pick the turbocharged engine or the base 2.0-liter? How does the Kona stack up against the Subaru Crosstrek? And what about the electric Kona that goes on sale later? (Read the Hyundai Kona first drive review.)
Audience question: Are steering wheels supposed to be aligned with the driver’s seat? Why are they sometimes installed a little off center? And how does CR test driving position?
