2020 Kona 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.

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.

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.

Kona EV

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 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.

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 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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

The ownership experience has confirmed I made the right choice.

Getting a longer range than expected - around 280 miles in the winter, and up to 325 on temperate days. This may be due to driving in Eco mode. Handles well, with a nimble turn radius. Although not the plush interior of a luxury car, a lot of nice touches, including the heated/ventilated front seats.

2020 Kona EV

Fun to drive, fuel efficient (EV), great sound system, good looking car especially the two-tone color (black and white). Exactly what I was looking for. Model I purchased also has cloth seats...I don't like leather.

Single car household with EV.

Excellent EV, fun to drive, good range. Installed a top to put skis and bikes. I've taken the car to skiing trips and to the wilderness areas. Cheap to operate, even when purchasing electricity the price is much lower than gasoline. I charge from a regular outlet, and borrow a level-2 charger from a neighbor once in a blue moon when I am driving a lot. I'm glad I don't have to visit gas stations. I'm glad I am not spewing NOX in my neighborhood. Live in a small town. Range is an issue for long multi-day trips. However, we are a single-vehicle household and with this car we satisfy 97% of our needs. (For the remaining 3% I just rented a car or borrowed from a relative).

Car runs great....

This car is a great little SUV... Driving the car is a lot of fun. The motor has plenty of power... Enough room for groceries... There seems to be enough leg room in the back seats. Those seats easily fold down for more space to carry big items..

Fantastic car, dealer experience not so much

Great car, except for the factory tires which did not have the grip for the amount of torque the car has (were replaced at 3000 miles). Dealer experience for routine maintenance is underwhelming. Since it still qualifies for FTC, this should be on everyone's short list for their first EV

Fun to drive

In 50 years of driving, the Kona Electric Ultimate is my favorite car - pushing aside my first love, an '83 Saab Turbo. Not only is it the most responsive car I have had, the one-pedal driving approach makes it the easiest, too. The Heads-Up Display is a great feature, condensing all crucial info right in front of me.

Best EV for price

Best EV in its class. Looks like a regular car, reliable electric drivetrain and no overcomplicated door handles or gimmicks. Range is also really good. I have seen up to 350 miles of range in the summer just driving around in the city. The warranty is also better than other manufacturers.

Fun to Drive

Fun to drive, nice looking car, easy to charge. I enjoy showing off this car to my friends. It fits in my garage where the electric outlet is nearby. Since I can plug it in to my household outlet, I don’t need a charging station. I top it off when it gets to 85% which charges overnight.
