Fun, Fast and Funky- A great Tesla alternative.

We wanted a Tesla but the hefty monthly fee stopped us. We looked at Kia, but the dealership was unfriendly and firm pricing. We liked the Ioniq but then chose Kona due to the greater range. We love it. We both fight about who gets to take it. I wish it would charge faster - but we only have a regular outlet at home. It came with a free charge card for Chargepoint, but that doesn't work. It's really quick and silent. The Kona is much better than I thought it was and for a lease at under $300 a month - is $200 less than a Tesla.

Never going back to a gas vehicle

The car is well built, super quiet, smooth, with instant acceleration. Ultimate has all the bells and whistles. The lease with the tax credits, makes it 300 a month with no money down for 10k Mike's a year. I am getting 150 mpg in eco mode, and eco mode (with 3 setting on regenerative braking) is still very responsive.

I love this car

I love my electric Hyundai. The range is fantastic. The car appearance is very stylish. The handling and pick up are great for Southern California driving. The dealership folks are wonderful to work with- Paul and Catherine.

Great car!

I am very satisfied with my new 2021 Hyundai Kona EV from Healey Hyundai in Beacon, NY. They treat their customers right! They had the car I wanted, when I wanted it, in a color I liked. On the test drive, I was impressed with the handling. The salesman pointed out the additional safety features - blind spot warning and proximity warning. At the time, I didn't think much of it. But on the road, they kick in and really help. What a pleasant surprise!

The Kona EV is Impressive

Definitely wanted to end my addiction to fossil fuels - I needed a small SUV to replace my Mini Countryman S. I wanted good performance, reasonable styling and to go electric. Didn't want to wait for the GM mini SUV and also considered the Kia Niro - why bother with a hybrid - just double the complexity. The Kona EV was an excellent choice. So far so good.

We Love our Kona EVs!

My husband and I both leased Hyundai Kona EVs and we love, love, love them! They are so comfortable, they drive great, and look amazing! We couldn't be happier with our purchase. The only improvement I would make is to add wireless Android Auto functionality OR allow us to disable the wireless Qi charging. As of now, it requires us to have our phones plugged in, and if you sit it in the phone slot, the wireless Qi charger causes the phone to overheat because it is ALSO plugged in to use Android Auto.

Great Value

High quality at a great price. Crisp, clean, strong looking vehicle in its own right. The electric powertrain is very responsive and so much nicer than a gas engine and transmission powertrain. Comfortable interior, excellent visibility, smooth and comfortable ride. Excellent range. Unbeatable warranty.

fun car

I have wanted to go electric for some time. I fell in love with the Tesla but it's price point was too high for me. The Hyundai Kona EV was the perfect solution to my need/want to go electric. It's a fun car to drive, especially when you drive y gas stations. I have a charger set up in my garage and once a week I plug the car in at night and I'm good to go by the morning. The increase to my electric bill is much lower than what I was spending on gas(especially now with gas prices going crazy).

LOVE MY EV!

I can't say enough about how much I love this car. It is smooth, quiet, comfortable and responsive. Every detail is well thought out and implemented. It is a very intuitive vehicle. We prefer to use the Kona EV over our other car and have not put gas in it since we bought EV! My husband is a music buff and loves the audio sound and components. I use the eco mode mainly for driving around town and it is a plus that I can charge the battery by slowing down or braking with the paddle. We are very pleased with this purchase and anyone who is considering buying a Kona EV shouldn't hesitate. When researching this vehicle, we watched the reviews on you tube and everything they spoke about was spot on. The interior must have gotten an upgrade as the plastic in my EV feels solid and doesn't feel cheap like the comments from you tube. It is big enough that we don't hit our heads getting into it like the Honda Civic did- another plus! I feel like I'm doing my part to save the planet from climate change by purchasing the Kona EV... moving forward!

Kona EV

No more paying for gasoline is a big plus. Great acceleration with the electric motor, but it's no Tesla. Only front wheel drive. Android auto is a plus. I think the design of the Kona is great, much better than the Ioniq which was the other electric alternative.

2021 Hyundai Kona EV

This EV is a wonderful car. The onboard charger is only 7.2 kW. Consider upgrading it to a 9.6 kW unit. The DCFC maximum charging power appears to be about 75 kW. Consider upgrading it to 150 kW. Any thoughts about making future Kona EV's AWD?

Great EV with excellent styling, quality and range

I am very happy with my new Hyundai Kona EV. It drives beautifully and certainly turns heads with it's stylish lines and finishes. The trunk is quite wide and spacious compared to other hatchbacks that I have owned. My experience at the dealership was very pleasant and helpful. No high pressure. Such a fun car to drive.

Best EV for the $ on the market!

We looked at a LOT of EVs: VW ID4, Polestar 2, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Chevy Bolt. The Kona is the sweet spot between price, range, and features. While it is a pretty small car, it packs a lot of features in, is fun to drive and rides well, has great range, and the price is fantastic. Things on the inside operate exactly how you would expect a car to operate (not the case with the ID4 or Polestar, which had some gimmicky elements). The heated AND ventilated seats are great in California and the range of 260 miles is stellar. The adaptive headlights were a nice surprise the first time I drove at night. I really like how easy it is to use the adjustable re-gen breaking. This car is the best value electric car right now!

Love my Kona Electric!

Words cannot describe how much I love my new Kona Electric! All of my friends want to ride in it! I love going by gas stations knowing I never need to stop. Most days I don't even plug in, but when I do, it's easy to plug into an outlet in my garage. It's big enough to pick up 3 friends for lunch, haul lawn chairs to baseball games or grandsons gear for baseball or basketball!

Going Green...Great value, reliability & warranty

The Kona EV electric has a range an awesome of 300+ miles on a full charge. The financial incentives, (Hyundai rebates along with significant PA & US government credits for going green in buying an electric vehicle), were so significant that I traded in a 2019 Hyundai Sonata for the 2021 Hyundai Kona EV.

My Kona EV

It took a few hundred miles of driving but I feel very comfortable with the vehicle. It is very responsive and fast and best of all, no gas stations. The vehicle did not come with roof rails to mount a roof racks.
