I think the Kona is in the low range of Hyundai suvs, the "bigger" model would the Tucson that is only 2.5 and Kona 2.0 but since they are Croossovers more likely the engines are low torque, the Kona is probably in the range of a Ford Escape, relative small and low torque engines meaning when you try to go hard on it the car takes a few seconds to suddenly wake up, its not meant to drive like you stole it jajaja 😎
That's the only way I know though. Apparently there was a sport mode I could have used but oh well. I'm still not sure I am a fan of the turbo lag in these four cylinder jobs.
