Or at least more info lol. Which should be soon. I don't understand the obsession with AWD though, go get a Bronco or Bronco Sport if thats what you want.

Both, yes.

It's only slightly larger than the first gen Kona. Certainly not enough to be noticeable unless side by side. In person, like the Veloster or current Kona or the FiST for that matter, this will not feel like a large vehicle.

It IS an SUV after all, and it is NOT slammed enough to not be able to go off road. [wink]

Aaaaaand 275hp.

We're all familiar with how noticeably less than that feels through two wheels.

You've never been stuck in Canada for a full year, eh? AWD is pretty amazing.
I had a friend with a WRX. He let me take it fast as I could on some West-by-gawd VA switchbacks. AWD is the shiznit...... don't need snow to use and enjoy AWD.

I was stuck in North Dakota for the first half of my life.... That should be close enough...lol. Most cars are fun in the snow if you aren't afraid of it, but AWD is a different kind of epic fun. For regular non snow driving, the only thing I really enjoy for general street fun is the AWD launch. Being stuck in Cali now the rest I can live without. The FiST keeps me smiling regardless.

Not bad as far as SUVs/CUVs go, but I still really dislike that 'squinting Eastwood' LED junk.

(Which I also cannot stand on the Citroen C3 either. [:(])

Where does it say AWD? It says some type of AWD* that doesn't come off as it is having AWD....They probably just Jinxed it now.....it will be FWD.

Lol, I was coming here to post that link, too. It kind of looks like a FoRS in the first photo. I wonder what the ground clearance is like

Anyone else realize that Hyundai's sister company Kia has a torque vectoring AWD system in the twin of the Kona; The Kia Seltos? The system is called Dynamax and its priced under $22,000 for the all wheel drive model.
