    ****NOTE this is not the redesign model which will release to North America as a 2024 model in August 2023 ****

    Signed the paperwork to buy a 2023 Kona Electric Preferred trim (Canada) in late July .. delivery was supposed to happen Aug 25, 2022

    I was given the VIN when I signed the paperwork and kept trying to register it with Bluelink but it said my information does not match what was on file. This morning it worked, and I now see my vehicle is at the dealership so it should be ready to pick up this week I would guess.

    Now the bad news, I am leaving for New York City in a few minutes and wont be back until late Sunday night, so earliest I can pick it up is Monday LOL

    Can you tell I am excited :D

    When you can update us on if there is any sign of basic v2L capabilities like the 2023 Kia Niro EV. Though maybe that’s in the 2024

    It is a great car.. I have almost 2k KMS on it already :D ... only thing I wish this level trim had was front proximity sensors (would help when pulling into the garage)

    Nice! Glad you like it. Unfortunately, I don't think Hyundai offers front parking sensors on any trim level on the Kona. You'd need to step up to an Ioniq 5 to get those, assuming Hyundai didn't remove them due to supply-chain issues.

    In Australia we only have 2 trim levels, Elite and Highlander. The top trim level has front parking sensors “Front Park Assist”.
    Both trim levels have rear sensors.
