Great little EV

Perfect for all local errands and out of town. We charge it at home mostly but it’s easy to find EV chargers

Awesome car!

This is our second leased Kona. We would probably lease another one (or similar model from Hyundai) next year when our current lease is up, but now that the electric vehicle incentives have disappeared, we are unlikely to be able to afford it. Nevertheless, the Kona is such an excellent vehicle! Comfortable, handles well, and feels like the right thing to do.

I like the car very much

Drives nice, good features. Good value. I like the style of the car. Dashboard is good. App works well. I haven't had any issues. Best features- 360 degree camera and cameras on the side when turn signals are on. What I don't like thus the 4 stars- came with a level 1 charger instead of level 2 & no power passenger seat. If it had those 2 things I would have given 5 stars. I also prefer models that are uniquely EV. But I chose the car knowing there was also a gas model. I wanted an EV and at this price range I think it is the best looking car and has the most features.

Nice but falls short.

Didn’t think about the lack of memory seat when I purchased it.

Air quality hazard

I love the Kona except for the ongoing air quality. I have health issues and have to constantly take my eyes off the road to recycle. I have had NO help from the dealer. Attorney general will be notified.

Battery too small, scary braking over bumps

I hate having to travel. The battery life and range is awful. If you only go a few miles, sure this is the car for you. However, anything over 20 miles is a drain and forget 2-3 hr away trips. You will have to charge at least once more, extending your trip about an hour or more. Anytime I hit a bump while braking, the brakes lock and cause the tires to skid and not stop properly. It’s kind of scary. I’m surprised I haven’t hit anyone yet. I love the look and feel of my spaceship, but practicality is not there for me.

Nice car, but chintzy interior. I added black leather seat covers, that helped a lot.

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.
