Pretty good affordable EV

Relatively comfortable EV, some nice features, but not too many, good power and handling.

Good at first, but ultimately a waste of my money

I loved this car... for like 2 or 3 months. I bought it brand new, and I drove to Washington and back twice, which was obviously a little harder given the range and charging locations, but it was fun. After that, it was just issue after issue. One of the fuses in the engine would just blow out of nowhere at any given time. Whether I was giving my girlfriends mom a ride or if it was literally on the way to the dealership. This car ended up making me more miserable than the car i traded in for it. I always wanted an EV, and I would NEVER choose this one from literally any other option available.

Good car for the city .

My KONA EV has been a pleasure to drive in the city. I can fit my car in tight parking spaces. It has good breaks to stop and turns easily. Making a U turn is no problem. It is more sophisticated equipment than I am comfortable using, but I can drive at a level that I need.

Great car. Smooth and fast. Just a few complaints

Overall, I really enjoy my Kona Electric Limit. I love the dash and interior layout. The car has plenty of power, accelerates so smoothly and is quiet while doing so. In the summer I regularly get over 5 miles to the Kw. With just shy of 15K miles, the car has been practically problem free. The safety features are top notch. We recently purchased a new car from a different company and I like the Kona's safety features much, much better. All that being said, I have had one recuring issue; unlocking via the door handle. Sometimes it works great. Usually it doesn't react to my grasp initially and I have to move my hand around to get a response. I complained about it at my 8K maintenance and the dealership replaced the handles which seemed to fix the problem for a while. But now, 7K later, it has returned to being an issue. Other minor complaints: while quiet it would be great if the wind noise was less prominent, why do the front collision sensors alarm while the car is in reverse?, I'm unable to read the climate control panel while wearing sunglasses, the auto-headlight sensor could be more sensitive (they are slow to turn off when they aren't needed), there is no enclosed storage under the front center armrest. As I said, just minor complaints.

Like my Kona Electric

I really like my Kona Electric SUV the only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because of the mapping figure does not work.

Great ... except

2025 is 2nd Kona EV - 2022 was first. I really love and value both cars - possibly the best of 65 years owning cars. However, 14 months after buying 2025, the heater was not performing as a heater should in winter months - to get 72°F I had to set at 82F. Dealer replaced 2 parts and it MAY be fix. At 16 months after purchase, car would intermitently NOT START. After replacing 2 components, this issue MAY be resolved - time will tell. This involve 5-6 loaner car events (2 EV and 3-4 gas cars) with $75+ in gas. I started Lemon Law/Buy Back with Hyundai; but, have now suspended this effort pending performance of car.

Not ready for prime time

For every cool feature there are three issues that overshadow the experience. The computer is horrible at calculating range. It prefers temps in the 60° to 80°F range. Otherwise, you will be disappointed.

I LOVE MY 2025 HYUNDAI ELECTRIC VEHICLE!

Love the ride! Smooth as glass! Quiet as can be! From the large sun roof to the economy in maintenance; from the comfort to the wide media screen; from the great size of the car and it's roominess; to her BEAUTY, I JUST LOVE THIS CAR SO MUCH! I was hesitant to get an EV, but let me tell you: "I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO A GAS FUELED CAR!" The cameras are fantastic on this car too. There is NOT ONE THING I am disappointed in! I opted to place a charger for the car in my garage for my convenience, and I even get a lower utility rate charge when I opt to charge my EV during the night! SAVINGS are unbelievable over all! This HYUNDAI KONA HITS MY EVERY MARK OF EXCELLENCE! = )

Great car alert - Kona

I love my Kona. I love not buying gas. I am a huge fan of maximizing my solar panel battery usage during the day to charge my Kona - allowing me to return less to my utility company who reimburses me a pittance when they take the electricity I generate!

Great car. Easy to drive. No gas.

Car has been great. No repairs so far. Had to get used to EV, but once I did, I like it. I always say, it's like having a dog. You have to keep track of it and feed it right. When you do, it will love you back.
