Hyundai Kona N Line AWD
.png)
The 2022 Kona N Line features the range's more powerful 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine linked to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and our test vehicle has all-wheel drive. As for the N Line designation, that's a reference to the brand's "N" vehicles, like the Veloster N, the Elantra N, and, yes, the Kona N, with N Line being a sort of stepping stone between the regular versions and the frenetic, high-performance full-N models. Those include the Elantra N Line, Sonata N Line, and more aggressively styled Tucson N Line, some of which receive power upgrades, and some of which don't.
So, is the 2022 Kona N Line to be viewed as a performance hatch with a direct line that traces to Hyundai N performance machines? Or is it more like a baby Tucson N Line, which is to say an SUV that's all show and no go? That's one of the questions we hoped to answer through testing.
What The Numbers Say
The 2022 Kona N Line AWD's performance shines greatest when it's turning left or right at speed and not so much out of the gate or in a straight line. On our one-way lateral acceleration loop on the skidpad, it netted a result of 0.89 g on average. That compares favorably to subcompact SUVs like the less powerful segment-leading 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport, which maxed out at 0.79 g, and 2019 Honda HR-V Sport AWD, which was very close at 0.88 g. It's also better than hatchbacks like the 2021 Mazda 3 AWD Turbo (0.79 g) and front-wheel-drive 2022 Honda Civic Sport Touring (0.88 g) but not unexpectedly trails thoroughbred performance models like the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R (0.94 g).
On our figure-eight assessment, the Kona N Line continued to impress, but with a caveat. "More grip than expected, but stubborn understeer on the limit," road test editor Chris Walton said. "The only time AWD was evident was on the exit, where I could floor the throttle without wheelspin. Steering weight and precision are very good for this vehicle class. Sportier than most would expect."

What are the uninitiated to make of the updated 2022 Hyundai Kona in new N Line trim ? The subcompact SUV's distinctive exterior is kind of cute, kind of funky and chunky, but not necessarily everyone's cup of tea. As an N Line offering, it's supposed to be sportier, and its size and fifth door have led some to consider the Kona to be something of a compact/subcompact hatchback instead of a small crossover SUV. The 2022 Kona N Line features the range's more powerful 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine linked to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and our test vehicle has all-wheel drive. As for the N Line designation, that's a reference to the brand's "N" vehicles, like the Veloster N , the Elantra N , and, yes, the Kona N , with N Line being a sort of stepping stone between the regular versions and the frenetic, high-performance full-N models. Those include the Elantra N Line, Sonata N Line, and mor...
Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid 2020

Until last year it was a 40-year Citroën tradition that the marque’s biggest and most expensive model should be a large, likeable, slow-selling and fast-depreciating business saloon. In 2019, however, the company corrected that mistake by launching a handsome and distinctive SUV flagship, the C5 Aircross , though even that failed at first to join the electrification bandwagon that was already rolling fast. Now Citroën has remedied this shortcoming with a new two-model range of C5 Aircross plug-in hybrids that catapults it to the front rank of SUV efficiency. The entry-level Flair model costs a very reasonable £35,370, considering it comes with equipment like climate control, air-con and traffic-monitoring navigation, but the bargain is the Flair Plus, which costs barely £1500 more while adding more ornate 19in alloy wheels (instead of 18s), half-leather trim, an electric-adjust driver’s seat, radar cruise control and a hands-free motorised tail...
New Volkswagen Golf GTI

Volkswagen has opened order books for the new, eighth-generation Golf GTI , customer deliveries of which will start later this year. The newest version of the genre-defining hot hatchback is based on the Mk8 Golf, which was unveiled last year. It sticks closely to the established GTI template for the model, retaining the Volkswagen Group’s familiar ‘EA888’ turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and sending power to the car's front wheels exclusively. However, the standard version of the new GTI features all the additions fitted to the GTI Performance version of the Mk7 Golf, including boosts in power to 242bhp (from 228bhp) and torque to 273lb ft (from 258lb ft), a limited-slip differential and upgraded brakes. To please enthusiasts further, the GTI retains a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, although a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is again optional. Prices start from £33,460 for the six-speed manual and versions equipped with th...
