Just What I wanted

This is our second electric vehicle. We bought it for the updated technology, and we're very happy with it.

Safety

Dealer unable to correct faulty systems, FCA, FCW thus unsafe vehicle. Bought it for the safety features, all work but those! Hyundai USA tried help, but dealer dodged the problem.

So far so good

I've had my Kona electric 2025 for one year now and no complaints really. It's too new to know what kind of maintenance issues may arise but no issues yet. I don't use some of the tech features such as the self driving feature but nice to have the option for those that want it. All the features I use are very user friendly. One feature I dislike is the crash alert. The beeping and visual warning just makes me more stressed out in the situation. Not sure if that can be disabled or not. Not a huge deal. It can just be alarming at times. EV charging station finder is not super reliable. You have to double check locations in charging apps to confirm they are legit.

Problems already

Well, we have only had our car for a few weeks and it's already been back at the shop for several while they try to figure out why it won't charge on anything but a fast charger. So while initially we were thrilled, now we are just frustrated that we're paying high gas prices for a loaner vehicle while we wait and wait and wait for this issue to hopefully be resolved.

Overall, a really good vehicle.

A really good vehicle. A little noisy but you get used to it. Low quality stereo system in the SEL. Info system is a problem.

EV Life

Have the peace of mind that charge will take time. After that, not going to the pump its a beautifull thing. No brake pads, no oil changes no problem Plan your trips.... thats the drawback

All Around Fun and Comfortable Commuter

While this car has certainly met what you'd expect from a budget EV in that it gets you from point A to point B with zero drama, I have been delighted with what a fun and comfortable car this is to drive. I commute 30 miles to work each day in traffic and on and off the highway, and just finished going through a brutally cold winter, and this car has handled it like a champ. I put a level 2 charger in at my home and since then it just charges within a few hours overnight and I don't have to pay for charging elsewhere. Like other EVs, this thing also has more zip and pickup than 90% of other gas cars on the road, so is incredibly fun to drive. The Bluelink system has gotten better and has been clutch for starting the climate system early so the car is warmed & defrosted in the winter before I come in, and it's good for monitoring the charge cycles. All in all, could not be happier with the purchase. I wish they would continue the line of low-cost Konas.

Excellent Value with Daring Design

The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric has a lot to love with only a few things holding it back from greatness. Chiefly among them is the price. It's one of the lowest priced new electric vehicles in the US, but it doesn't look or feel that way. The exterior design is daring with the futuristic light bar that wraps around the front and the side panels have an aggressive z-fold that provides both structural rigidity and style. The interior is comfortable and sleek without feeling minimalist like other electric cars. A full array of climate control buttons makes it easy to stay comfortable. The dash is digital and flows over to the infotainment which thoughtfully skews toward the driver for ease of access. There's a lot of smooth plastic on the interior, which can feel cheap when you critically examine it, but during your normally commute or on road trips, you won't even notice. With the 64.8 kWh battery, you're estimated to get 260 miles of range, it's more than enough for daily trips and weekend getaways. The main detractor from the Kona electric is its charging speed. 20%-80% in 43 minutes feels fine occasionally, but for road trips you'll find yourself looking longingly at faster charging vehicles as they arrive after you and leave before you. If you have a single charging stop, you'll hardly think about it. On longer trips, where multiple charging stops are required, you'll be weighing your decision to save money on the Kona versus its faster charging rivals.
