Hyundai Kona

Get a decent branded tyre; Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin etc. Often worth buying online from Tyreleader, Oponeo or Shoes for my car.

About to buy a 2020 64kwh this week but some thing's caught my eye that has me worried: when I put in the Reg on Axa's website it's reporting back as a 39kwh model.

Test drive already done, with the battery about half full it was estimating around 220km of range but didn't seem to have been driven all that much so it could be off.

Any sure-fire way to tell what size battery it has?

One thing is for sure….with 50% consumed and an estimated range of 220kms, that's the 64kWh battery. The 39kWh would be well short of that range.

Thanks for the advice folks. Turns out every single listing I put in on Axa's checker from Donedeal and Carzone was showing as a 39kwh, so it seems to be a limitation on their end.

EDIT: Got the VIN and used the service booker on Hyundai's site. It's showing as a 150kw motor, so unless the VIN I've been given is from a different car it seems to be a 64.

Have you tried motorcheck.ie? I put a Kona I know to be 64kWh through that and the preview correctly reports it:

Who would knew that in 6 years time the little car would still have something to surprise use with. A colleague took it to visit Giants Causeway from Dublin and the only charging they did was at Tesla SuC Sprucefield on the way back.

Never have seen such a flat curve. For a 2019 car I think it is brilliant.

Apparently there's a useful increase in the amount of rear room, so it depends on how much you value that. I've had to sit in the back of the older one for a short trip and I wouldn't want to be there for more than half an hour. Range in the face-lift one will be slightly better, and IIRC charging speed is up from 72kW to 100kW.

Ah ok, wasn't even aware the Mk1 Kona had had a facelift. Probably better to ignore everything I said in that case!

Not sure how it integrates, I know some allow for pass through of original video feed. Would be the usual screen with a Kona specific frame. I'd reccomend getting the 4Gb RAM versions something like this:

Also looking for this. Bolands in Waterford wanting over €750 for the 60K service which is the first with a gear oil replacement (or at least it used to list that explicitly) - I would sooner drive a sewing needle through my knob with a sledgehammer than pay that much.

Tis some cod. I have 2 X electric cars, but these EV car services are really annoying. One of the reasons I moved away from ICE was reduced servicing. Now it’s nearly more to service an EV versus ICE. At least with an ICE you actually get real work done, oil, oil filter etc

You are overestimating the buying public there. I think if you ask most of those buying a new Hyundai what an ICCU is, they will have absolutely no clue. People buy the car they want and like, most of the motoring public does no research on issues or problems beforehand. They see "new and shiny" and go for it.
