My first Kona

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.

Truly 4.5 stars

I love not having any black on the doors or dashboard in my eKona. The range is great and I have mostly been charging at home and we haven’t gotten a level 2 charger installed yet so it can only get better. I miss the storage required for a weeklong trip but it does have a small wheel base so heading across country-you’d feel every bump so it wouldn’t be the car of choice for a long trip across country for me unless gas prices climb. The eKona is easily the car we want to drive over the ICE cars we have. Any EV owner will tell you once you try the EV you won’t go back ( and I loved my old Camry! I thought it was fun to drive but not as fun as the eKona!!!) we have literally been doing “Sunday Drives” without any guilt of wasting gas and it has been a spirit lifter during quarantine because I get to change the scene a lot better and not pollute the sparkling clean air we have had during lock down. I expect this car will be getting very high mileage on it...

New Kona EV

Great little car. Has a nice design. Plenty of get up and go. The car is very quick, it accelerates really fast. The car is a great car for driving around town. The range is good gir an electric vehicle.

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.

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 (!)

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.

Really happy with my vehicle!

The only problems I have is the difficulty getting my Android Auto set up and the use of the BlueLink. I am not super computer savy and I don't have a manual. Other than this, I really enjoy the drive and the build quality so far.

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 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.

First electric car venture

Overall happy with the car though there are styling changes that I would have liked. More options for scheduling charging time would have helped as well. You have to pay more to get semiautonomous option, battery warmer, LCD lights, etc. I'd recommend for first time buyer. Moving up to a Volkswagen if they increase range.

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.

So far so good

Comfortable, responsive vehicle. I selected this Electric because of the availability of dealerships as opposed to the Tesla Model 3. I drive limited miles and home charging is all I have used to date. The range is actually around 280 miles when the battery is topped off. If you often take trips beyond 250 miles the Tesla will recharge much quicker at a level 3 charger and probably would make more sense. I charge at home (level 2) so this works best for me. If I do need to take an extended trip there are always car rentals. The warranty on this car is unbeatable. There are far fewer parts than with internal combustion vehicles so maintenance should be limited. I like knowing the car will not spew CO2 as a byproduct of driving, and my electric utility allows me to purchase green energy for a small bit more.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Got A Lemon

Car makes strange noises. Had for one week and been in service for 2 weeks. They have been unable to fix the problem. No word from Hyundai on how long it will take or what is wrong. No replacement offered yet. Paying for car and insurance but no car.
