I love this car.

I have received a few unsolicited compliments about my car at work. I am a simple, no-frills type of person and the Kona EV meets almost all my needs. My only complaint is the cargo space and tight back seat.

LOVE my Kona EV

I have been eyeing this car for about a year. I drove it and I loved it. It is perfect for my life and it’s fun to drive. Love that it’s all electric and I can charge with my solar. We took it on a trip to Tahoe and it performed beautifully. Kona seats are very comfortable and I had absolutely no back or leg pain when we arrived at our destination. The power of this vehicle is off the charts. Very responsive. Nice size and enough leg room for my 6’2” husband. Styling is attractive and not aggressive looking like other SUV’s. Hyundai created a winner in my opinion.

Love my Kona

I have not found one single thing that I can say negative about this vehicle. It has more than surpassed my expectations for a small SUV, let alone an “All Electric” one. I would have to say in all my years of driving, and of the many different vehicles I have driven. The Kona by far out performs, is more stylish and is more comfortable than nearly every other vehicle I have ever driven.

Excellent Electric Vehicle

We love our 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric vehicle. The range is over 250 miles on a charge. It is great not to have to buy gas especially with the high gas prices. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone considering the purchase of an electric vehicle.

Very nice car

Very reasonable price, nice car. I wonder why I have never used a Hyundai car before. I only had the experience of using an electric car with the Smart Car 2018. Kona Electric is a real car, not a toy like a Smart. I believe now that the future belongs to electric cars!

Love it.

Wanted to get an electric car to cut out fuel prices that are on the rise. Thought I was going to have to go used but got into the 2021 Kona for a great price! Love it! Drives great, tons of features and power! Remote control entire car with your phone from anywhere. Get one!

Electric the only way to go.

Love it and would not want any other car. Plan on buying this car after lease is up. I'm glad that the driving range on electric cars make it worth to buy one. It was the only reason I didn't buy electric before.

Kona

I love my new electric Kona. I think I got a great deal and I am very pleased. I like the style of the car and it runs very quietly and smoothly. It is very comfortable. I really like that it is an electric car with very little maintenance. It is fun to drive, too!

Leaf vs Kona

This Kona replaced a two year old Leaf. I used to have some distance anxiety with the Leaf, however there were only two times that running out of electrons really counted, in both times I made it home. The Kona's increased range really puts my mind at ease. The Kona is our primary run around town vehicle and is used for almost all in town driving. It is also used as my daily driver back and forth to work, a distance of around 20 miles each way. I bought the SEL version, because when I looked at the options on the two upgraded models, none of them were important to me. I do wish that the Kona came with a power cable that was capable of both 240 and 120 volt operation. The first thing I had to order on line was a 240 volt cable. I was distressed that I couldn't even get one at the dealer. Other than that I now have around 3000 miles on the Kona and still love it.

Great Range

Coming from a 2011 Nissan Leaf, this was a night and day difference. The range, power, handling,safety features, and climate control are exceptional. The efficiency of the car is great. I have been getting 5.5 to 5.9 efficiency in town, which is the majority of our driving. The freeway driving gets great efficiency. We love the app for the car too!

The electric experience has been great. We had a great experience with the sales process. The staff was attentive and got down to business. They know what we were looking for and made it happen. We love the car.

My first Electric

This is my first electric and I really love not having to go to the gas station and the idea of not having the fluctuation of gas prices affect me is treat. Only cons of the Kona is it had a recall within the first week and sensor needed to be removed but the warranty is great I paid nothing. Ride is great, smooth, handles like a sedan, and potholes are doable. Take off is great but it does drain your battery to floor the pedal. There’s two levels of eco mode and getting used to all the standard bells and whistles Is fun. Overal great acceleration, I drive 1200 miles and month and have to recharge 2X a week. Overall 9/10 of the car could use an extra inch in the back seat it trunk.

Kone sel

I tested and then bought the vehicle. I did not try the Tesla because I like the style and dashboard of my Kona and its fits my neighborhood. I also find that this survey is very burdensome and the only reason I am filling it out is I like the Dealership and the car.

Affordable EV Option

The KONA EV is the best choice on the market for those interested in making the switch to electric; it is affordable, the size is right, and it is a car that actually looks like a car. The charge range has exceeded my expectations.

Love the Kona electric

Best decision I made was to go green. This electric car is a gem. It’s so cute. It suits my needs. It’s comfy, fast, easy to drive and loaded with feature. Lots of room all around. And it has a tax credit. Yippee!!! Just plug it in. I see no difference in my electric bill.

Best EV for your $$

Long time racer, car collector, driving enthusiast looking for simple EV for family member. I’m picky. Was looking for a quality EV and for half Tesla Y money the Kona EV delivers 75% of the goods. Very good seat. Let’s start there. Has actual support instead of the flat bench in the Leaf or the weird shaped Bolt seat. Excellent acceleration. Very good range. Nice interior for its class. Fun car to drive and toss around. Good weight distribution, low center of gravity, decent steering feel for an electric, good suspension and body roll control. All the great safety features standard. Fairly roomy for its size. Economy car payments on a super quiet, super torquey EV. Better than Hyundai’s own ioniq. Can’t really ask for too much more for the money. I think I’ve bought/leased my last gasoline car.

Good car. Could be great

Car is super heavy and while decent torque it needs more to compete with Tesla and others. Performance is important. Brakes are weak and software for panic stops sloppy. Brakes in general are hard to modulate.

Amazing Car

For an electric vehicle, it turned out to be an excellent buy. The mileage is enough to get all of my tasks done and I can even work on the car. The sound system and ventilated seats are a big surprise. They work efficiently and are probably some of the best features on the car. I absolutely love the cruise mode as well. Safe car with power but still good for the environment.
