Not a good car

The seat doesn’t go back far enough to be comfortable. Not enough under the rear deck storage. Charging this car is a joke as the orange light on the front on the car comes on all the time and you can’t charge the car when it’s on.

Smart entry-level EV

Purchased my Kona EV in December 2025 and am so far delighted by the comfortable and quiet ride, well-designed interior, and overall driving experience. The software update process and app user experience could be improved, but overall I’m very pleased with the vehicle.

Very capable little electric

This vehicle has been a great second car in LA. We have a house with solar, so charging is not an issue. It's nimble with a solid road feel and has lots of nice features like lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, various warning sensors, and a map with real-time traffic conditions and route guidance. Cons: the back seat is cramped - do not plan on putting child seats in -- the turn signal clicking is annoying, the horn is a pathetic toot, and on our level 1, 15-amp home charger (the cord that comes with the car) it takes nearly two days from 20% to 90%.

Good overall performance.

The service battery needed to be replaced after just 5,000 miles. More room is required in the trunk space.

Overall very satisfied

Love the way it handles--corners nicely, gets me on the freeway without fear due to it's incredible pickup, slows me on steep hills without breaking, lets me rest my accelerator pedal foot when stopped, battery lasts long enough for me to get from the SF peninsula to Carmel or Sebastopol, etc. What I don't like--hard to see temperature control buttons, somewhat complicated, changing settings, lane warning (car in adjacent lane) is small and on the far side of the mirror so hard to see, back-up camera doesn't always catch people or cars. Like the roomy trunk for the size and the roomy back seats. Driver seat is a bit short for me (I'm 5'2") so need a pillow.

A Happy Surprise

Never had any experience with Hyundai autos until I leased the 2023 Kona EV. I was eager to get into the EV game, and dithered for a few months until the prices came down. Turns out, the Kona has been a marvelous unit that served pretty much all my needs - no problems to speak of and it has been a very pleasant ride to date.

Runs well

Nimble and swift. A bit noisy and small trunk space. Not a bad ride, just not luxurious if that's what you want. Good value for price.
