Lives up to its Reviews

Our KonaEV has exceeded all expectations. Great ride, smooth acceleration and nimble handling. Love passing gas stations and driving home to recharge overnight. I would say it doesn’t quite top-off at 260 miles on a full charge during cold months, closer to 240. But that was expected. Great commuter car.

A fun car hidden under a practical shell

Coming from a sporty hatchback I was nervous about switching to a car of this stature but the car quickly made me forget my concerns. No it doesn't look as sporty but it has the "go" when I need it. The technology and features on the car are light-years ahead of what I had and the infotainment screen beautiful and easy to use. The range with battery is amazing its great not having to go stand at a gas pump on cold winter days. I whole heartedly recommend this car.

2020 Kona EV is Awesome

I love the Kona EV! It's fun and easy to drive! I own the Ultimate which offers numerous thoughtful and convenient features. I can't say enough about the Kona. The $7500 tax credit alleviated the higher EV price point. After extensive research, I was determined to buy a Kona EV although I don't live in a green state. I located a Hyundai dealership online in Maryland selling to out of state customers. It was an excellent experience. It is a pleasure to own a Kona EV in alignment with Hyundai's commitment to the future of the environment.

Happy with my Kona EV

Happy with acceleration & steering response. I drive with confidence on freeways of Southern California, knowing I can safely accelerate as necessary when merging or changing lanes. And of course with an electric, there is no gasoline cost!

Love my Kona

I love driving my Kona electric. It handles beautifully, accelerates nicely and let’s me sit high enough to see easily. I prefer it to my husband’s Tesla - much easier to find the dashboard controls.

Great range and a pleasure to drive

This car far exceeded my expectations. It has an amazing range (much more than its EPA rating, especially in the summer). It is well designed and well built with quality components. This is my fourth EV (after 2 LEAFs and a Model 3), and it is by far the best I have owned.

Good small SUV EV

The Kona EV has great range, up to 300 miles, is comfortable, can carry 15 boxes when the rear seats are down, and car carry 5 passengers comfortably. The car is easy to drive, and the controls are easy to use.

Best EV I have owned

My Kona EV is everything I expected AND MORE. Love this car. Comfort and drivability are super. Outside noise is somewhat loud. Perhaps more insulation would elimnate some of the outside noise. Will Hyundai continue making this model?

Excellent choice in EV cars segment

I had a Nissan Leaf leased prior to this car. We loved it. Only issue was a limited driving range of 150 miles. So, when it was a time for that lease to up, we started looking at Hyundai Konv EV and Volkswagen ID.4. While ID.4 had more space and legroom, we felt that KONA EV was more suited for our needs. We have not regretted that decision a bit. KONA EV is a fantastic car with tons of features. Biggest surprise is the range of battery. We always get 300+ miles during local driving. On highway range seems to normally 260+ miles. In both cases that's over 258 miles of EPA stated range. We liked it so much that within a month of buying this car, we ended up buying another KONA EV. If you are in a EV market, consider this car. You won't be disappointed.

I’ll never go back to gas!

I was focused on the electric Kona because of a few things-first the price and it qualifies for federal tax rebate up to 7,500 if the vehicle qualifies) and the State rebate ($5000) and no sales tax-saved thousands here in NJ! In 2 years I spent $150 on in cabin filters and 2 tires were replaced after driving through road construction for weeks

Easy to drive, ample driving range

This is my 1st EV, and it's been very satisfying owning this car. It has ample range and has been saving me a lot of gas money. It's almost maintenance free, and I appreciate the driver assist safety features such as blind spot and backup warning. The ride is smooth with plenty of acceleration power.

Kona EV

Good range, although affected by temperature extremes. Great turning radius. A bit tight in rear seats. Some concern about durability of heads up display, which has been replaced under warranty, and some small paint flaking on plastic front bumper. Ventilated and heated seats allow less use of climate controls, extending range.

The second-best car money can buy

If I was a billionaire, my first choice for a car would be a Hyundai Ioniq 5 - and my second choice would be the Kona EV that we own and love. The Kona has everything you need (except for maybe some more storage space) and nothing you don't need

FIRST. EV

I had never owned a hybrid or EV so like most people I talked to I had "range anxiety." The power company gave me a level 2 charger and 95% of my charging is done there. I consistently get more range than advertised per charge and range anxiety is unfounded. In summer I get over 350 miles per 100% charge and frankly I don't want to drive more than that in a day. The few times I've traveled more than that on a round trip, finding a public charger has not been an issue. The navigation system is constantly telling you how far you are from the nearest charger. Costs of operation are unbelievably good, like the equivalent of gas at $1 gallon. I didn't go to the dealer expecting, or even considering an EV, but I'm sure glad I took the time to check it out. Very peppy and full powered. Not large, but works great for this Grandpa who has to pick up 8 and 10 year old granddaughters from time to time. Love my Kona EV.

Kona EV Ultimate is a Car to Love

I am a proud owner of a 2020 Kona EV Ultimate. It is a pleasure to drive. It is quiet and quick. The thoughtful design and convenient features make this a total package. Previously we have owned expensive "status" brand cars. By far the Kona EV Ultimate has been an excellent purchase experience overall.
