Advance payments for hybrid are a high as often happens with new models. Hopefully come down to realistic ap for what you are getting. Kia Nero which is basically the same car are also too high. Only talking about hybrid models.
The wheels on the advance model are truly awful looking imho just saw the John banks review on YouTube so if having one got to be the n line such a shame
Here is the advance wheels
In all fairness you get a little bit better range out of the Aero style wheels. So you either trade looks for a better range ?
Me, it would be looky looky ?
I’ve read ride is better on the 17 inch wheels ! The n line you do get heated seats power tailgate privacy glass heated windscreen side skirts 19 inch alloys etc looks nice in red on YouTube trying to find a photo of the new n line Kezo any chance if you see one could you please put on Thankyou

Personally I wouldn’t hesitate going for the N line as you get all the extra niceties. Riding on 19’s isn’t the end of the world and comfy enough in the real world.
I suppose really there is not much difference in range and ride etc between the Kia Niro and the Kona although the Kona has a heat pump I did like the Niro been out in it twice !
They sit on same platform so the ride will be about the same. The Kona gains Heatpump 319 wltp mile s vs 285 for the Niro

I’m going to go on YouTube later to see if anyone has them side by side testing ?
i think the niro 2 has alot smaller displays (4.2 and 10″), where the kona gets 12.3″ across the range and a slightly bigger battery. I think the main thing that sets them apart for me is the heatpump, which will help with economy during colder months and the buttons which I prefer.
Yes Kezo I agree here is the advantage free with £150 in my bank smaller 17 inch wheels I’m warming to them but with better range and ride so I’ve read
The Niro 2 wheels aren’t miles apart in the beauty contest!
The ioniq 6 comes with 20″ in the UK and you loose 50 miles compared with the 18″ aero wheels other markets get, which is what I would have opted for to maximise range.
The Kona’s LED light bars on the car scream more modern and in my oppinion the interior looks better, which is where you sit. Oh did I mention the buttons lol.
Yes I’ve just read the smaller 17 inch wheels get 40 to 50 miles more range anyway I’m going out in advance with the 17 inch wheels 9am tomorrow I will have heater on oh yes heater on as be 5 degrees and will analyse the range etc the journey is planned dual carriageway at 60 mph then rough road then road humps etc as you can see Kezo I’m very excited and will have full hour and being just a mile away I’m bringing it home !
Thats the catch Mike, I like goodies so would opt for the N line or ultimate for the electric boot, heated seats etc. 19″ wheels aren’t bad and I doubt you’d loose much range anyway and would still get you there and back your girlfriends with plenty of range left.
Its if the niceties are important to you as they are me! Maybe ask if they have one to test on the bigger wheels so you can compare with the entry level?
