Good vehicle for everyday local use

We feel good about using an electric vehicle for local everyday use. It's cost per mile in the Pacific Northwest is very reasonable - perhaps 1/3 of that of a gas powered vehicle. We charge it using a 110 20amp outlet every evening. It is plenty spacious for everyday use.

Wow! I am impressed!

I bought a 2020 Kona earlier this year and although it was not my first choice to be honest In retrospect it was probably a great choice. I really like this car. The build quality seems on point and I have not had any problems to-date with anything (hopefully it stays that way). I would totally recommend that anyone looking for a reliable, reasonably affordable electric vehicle strongly consider this car.

Hyundai Kona EV

Great value and reliability. With rebates the lease was a good deal. We like how this drives and the safety features. The lights could be better and the back window collects dust, but these are minor issues.

Good, but not perfect

In most ways, I like this vehicle, but it has had one serious deficiency. The car in question is an electric vehicle. It is prone to the 12 volt battery going dead. This may be due to my forgetting to shut off the car when exiting, or leaving one of the doors not fully closed, but This has happened to me twice. Because of this, I would not recommend this car if it is critical that it be able to operate when you need it.

2020 Hyundai Kona EV

This is an excellent Sub Compact Vehicle. It provides great performance with excellent range of driving. Hyundai claims that this car has 258 miles of range. But, we're getting more than 300 miles regularly from day one. It comes with all the safety features and entertainment options. Cargo Space is little tight but that's given considering this is a sub compact car. We loved it so much that we ended up buying another one for our kids. Knowing they are driving around in this greatly built car gives us a sense of security. Great job Hyundai!!

Great Car

This vehicle exceeded our expectations. The vehicle features for the price, the instant accelaration of the EV, saving on gas, this is just an overall great vehicle for our needs. The smart cruise control (which I didn't think we'd use very much) is probably one of the most important features on this car since we do a lot of commuting. We seriously considered the Tesla 3, and while a good vehicle too, was a bit too bumpy on the suspension for our tastes. Highly recommended.

Outstanding EV

I will never buy a fossil fuel vehicle again! The Kona is the way to go! The interior and exterior styling is exquisite. I am a proud EV owner. The commitment Hyundai has to their customers and the environment is unbeatable.

Great EV

The Kona EV has exceeded my expectations on range and comfort. I get somewhere around 300 miles of range without using climate control. I still get 250 miles of range with climate control on constantly throughout the summer or winter. Opt for the Ultimate trim if you can. The head unit upgrade is almost necessary. The leather seats with fantastic hearing and cooling really help mitigate the climate control heft on the battery and range. Even after 3 months of driving it almost daily, it is still fun to hop in and drive. I prefer the Kona to the other car for most outings that don't require suit cases. Groceries, even hardware store runs seem doable with the Kona.

Great car. Excellent range. Have recommended to several friends. Three have leased the Kona EV and one a Kia Niro. Would suggest that the dealerships or someone share information about charging stations and which ones are available in the area.

Great vehicle though troubling is the lack of support from Hyundai on when the recall on the battery pack will be performed. I park and charge my brand new car outside. Please address and communicate

Kona EV 2020 Limited

Love the Kona EV styling, battery range and handling. After the Tesla Model 3 SR, the Kona EV is the best bang for the buck. It beats the Tesla because it provides a real dashboard in front of the driver and there's a sunroof.

Meet George Jetson's Car.

Drives like a dream. Powered like a rocket. Hard to compare it to anything I have ever driven before. I love driving by all the gas stations. I would recommend the car to anyone looking for an EV.

Great overall vehicle considering this is my first EV. Only issue mentioned in the survey is the brake system with the noise and reaction of brakes coming to a full stop. Feels like I abruptly step on the brake when coming to a full stop.

Kona EV after 1 year and 16k miles

One of the best EV values, good efficiency and range with a practical interior that can accommodate bikes easily with the rear seat folded . It has some firmware deficiencies, quirks and bugs, but one can adapt and enjoy the positive attributes and a generally pleasant driving experience.

AMAZING Electric car!!

I am a committed EV driver and have been looking for an affordable EV with longer range. The Kona is amazing! Long range, excellent regenerative braking, comfortable. Hyundai had a great cash incentive for leased vehicles that made it especially affordable, although the list price for the basic model was comparable to other EVs and less than the long range ones. My Kona really is as convenient as a gas-powered car for all the driving I do, including trips from my western Mass home to the Cape and to NYC on a single charge! SO GLAD I bought it!!!

Kona EV

I would say that the Kona is good for performance, but not so good with the reliability. Transaxle had to be replaced at 20,000 miles, and now the charging system, power system have been cut back to 80%. It remains to be seen how this car lasts in the long run.

Love it.

Love not having to get gas, oil changes, etc. Takes a bit getting used to for electric charging, but there are actually many charging stations around and most are free although that might change in the future. Excellent acceleration. A bit louder than I expected. Blue Link allows me to monitor the status of the car (including charging). Can be charged at home but takes longer.
