Excellent EV

EVs will change the world and how we travel. Hyundai brought a regular person's version to the market that looks great, is affordable and good specs/features. Of course all is in line with the quality of the great Hyundai name.

My First EV

Researched my EVs and ended up purchasing the Kona EV because of its price vs performance. Once of the best values currently for sale in our area. The EV range of greater than 280 mile on a full charge is extremely important to me. The power and torq of the drive train is great except that since it is front wheel drive the car experiences severe torq steering when accelerating hard.

My stealth cool car

Tesla-like range. SUV (albeit small) convenience. Accelerates faster than my admittedly old Nissan 300 ZX. One-pedal driving (or very close to it) is fun, particularly on curvy roads. And it's fun to have a very rare car. I have yet to see another one of these on the road. Kind of expensive, though, without the $10,000 in credits (state and federal) I was able to get. My understanding is that it's a compliance car, marketed so that Hyundai can achieve a certain fleet mileage. That said, Hyundai seemed to go out of its way to make it a nice car. It's very well thought out, with no sense of being a Franken-car.

Thanks

Great! Very happy for our purchase —- doesn’t need oil changes, doesn’t need smok Check! Don’t need to go to gas station, wait in Lind for fill up gas. Don’t need to check gas prices up or down. Very quiet and comfortable.

KONA EV is so FUN!!

The Kona Electric vehicle is a great car. Great visibility, comfortable, easy to drive, and it’s driver interfaces are well placed. The instrument cluster and the large center display provide excellent driver feedback and awareness of everything that is needed. This is a good sized car, I’m six feet tall and fit very comfortably when driving or riding along. So happy I don’t need to buy gas anymore!!

Fun, zippy car to drive!

Fun, zippy car to drive. Comfortable ride, lots of safety features, easy usage of controls and voice control makes the usage of navigation/stereo system safe to use during drive. Like the seat heater and AC. Makes it comfortable to drive on days that are hot or cold.

Kona EV

EVs will be replacing gas powered planet killing monsters in the coming years. The Kona is a reasonable size and offers quality features that make it priced well compared to its EV competition. In the coming years, more and more EVs will be coming to market. If you buy a new gas powered car, it will be practically worthless in a relatively short time. You have been warned.

2020 KONA

Really love my Kona, haven’t had it in the snow YET, today is the day. Had first service from the dealership yesterday. I was taken care of in a very professional service center. Met Hollie and Jackie, they were very welcoming and quite easy to work with. Service was completed in a timely manner by Patrick.

Kona electric

Great ride with all the acceleration I need. The overall vehicle needs to be more aerodynamic as opposed to box shape. It still performs with great engineering and great road functionality to daily changes in traffic.

Exceptional vehicle and priced accordingly

Wonderful car, very handy, great performance and awesome build quality. Ultimate model has virtually all tech options which I did not care about until I had them! The Ultimate is quite expensive for a sub-compact class car but has plenty of room and currently qualifies for all the rebates - US, state, county and utility company (!)

Awesome EV ride!

We just got our Kona EV and love it. It drives really nicely, is extremely comfortable in front and in back, and the range is awesome. The Kona seems to prioritize comfortable seating for 4 over cargo space, so don’t expect to carry a pallet of roofing shingles! But I haul people more than building supplies anyway. I love this car, and I think it’s much nicer than the Chevy Bolt or any hybrid. The only problem is actually getting your hands on one — you might have to search a bit for one.

Humming engine sound is very annoying. It is very loud that people actually turns their head to look for it!!! Front grill could be re-designed Overall, this is a fun vehicle to drive. Responsive and very good mile range.

Best electric car

Great range per charge, style and design is perfect for a small family. Color choice is better than other models. I love the pick up and high quality sound. Interior noise is unnoticeable and blue link is great tool for remote starting in any weather.

Love it so far

Installed a level 2 charger at home and it's been super convenient to "fill up". My Kona has the Homelink rearview mirror mean there are several button and I can program one for my garage door opener. These buttons are not powered when the car is off. This is less than convenient but I understand why it is a security feature. ...imagine if your car were parked in your driveway and somebody got into your car and was able to open you garage door. As a many decade driver of gasoline engine cars, I always open the garage door before starting my car, and turn off my car before closing the door. Makes sense right? I get that carbon monoxide poisoning is not a problem with the Kona EV! But, having to power the car to open or close my garage door is just a pain. To me, the simple solution is to have the Homelink buttons powered whenever the smart key is inside the vehicle. Heck they can have the headlights on for 15 or so seconds after the car is off, why not the Homelink buttons too? ...this would be a distant second choice for functionality. Hyundai - Please make this a software update!!!!! Please!!! There is a continuous beep when the car is in reverse. It is VERY loud and annoying. Every other car I've had with this "feature" has had some method of disabling the beep through software switches. I can't find how to do this on a 2020 Kona EV. Hyundai- Please make this a owner controllable feature with software. I would be happy if I could even adjust the volume. The Kona needs a few more storage compartments in the front cabin. There is an entire door panel worth of space not being used. The console/armrest storage could use a removable divider and/or a shelf with removable tray. Other than the above, I'm loving the Kona EV so far. I've had better than expected range and the torque for acceleration is incredible!

Kona EV

Met all my expectations. Love the car and expect many years of satisfaction. Considered buying a Tesla Model3 but was unable to test drive. Now I'm very glad I bought the Kona as I don't really like the looks of the Tesla.

2020 Kona EV

Excellent design inside and out. Superior handling, robust acceleration in all 3 modes but a rubber burner in sport mode! EV range of 300 miles makes long road trips possible on routes with access to rapid charge stations. A winner in the compact crossover EV market!

Excellent performing car for the money. I have very little to complain about. Interior may be a little plastic looking around the dash, but wouldn’t want to pay more for an upgrade to the dash appearance

2020 Hyundai Kona Electric Ultimate

The Kona Ultimate is an excellent EV, one of the best available. The efficiency of the drivetrain is way above expectations. The interior, while not luxurious, it is feature rich and very comfortable, with an amazing sound system The US market is missing some features available in other places such as roof rails, heat pump and passenger side electrical adjustable seats. While it's on the small side and some see that as a negative it is a big positive for me as I didn't want a large car like the Model 3 or e-Niro. There is lots of wheel spin even with traction control due to the high torque of the electric motor. Overall it's a top notch EV in the US market and well worth purchasing/leasing.
