Love this car

The car is great. It's quick, fun to drive, gets great range, and is inexpensive to operate. Unfortunately, the company that makes this car cannot be trusted to support their software long term. They have just recently killed support of their Bluelink app for Android 11, even though the OS is still actively supported by Google and by all of their competitors' mobile apps. The customer care team also completely dropped the ball when contacted about this OS support change. I love the car, but I cannot in good conscience recommend a brand that doesn't take care of their customers.

Best bar I have ever driven. Great range on a charge, marvelous performance, very peppy!

This is simply the best car I have ever driven. I charge it in my garage using a 220v electric dryer outlet and get 264 miles on a charge. The paddles for regeneration can bring the car to a full stop and hold there, even on a hill. It has astonishing acceleration and great road handling comfort even at very high speeds (80mph).

Good one

As expected good vehicle. More people should know. Will save lots of money for you. Much Faster than people think. Features are nice. Recommend for first time driver also. Had to pay extra money due to marker but if it is mid 30s it is very nice car

Excellent EV Choice

When looking for an EV to drive I decided the Kona was my best bet and I was right. It is fun to drive, has a good range and the price was the best among the options out there. Also, as the only one with paddle shifters to adjust the regenerative braking on the fly, it allows for a smooth braking experience while barely touching the brake pedal.

The EV Kona is Great

If you're looking for a smaller sized all electric SUV, this is the vehicle you need. It's got good seating, good acceleration, good handling and all the safety features needed in a competent vehicle. The interior road noise is a bit more than some vehicles but, overall, this is a terrific car.

2022 Kona EV - Great crossover SUV

I love the Kona EV. It's the first electric vehicle I've owned and I am not going back to gas. Acceleration, handling, and ride are all fantastic. I've had some minor issues with the technology (e.g., issues connecting to Apple CarPlay), but Hyundai has been responsive in helping me resolve them. The only downsides of the Kona EV are (1) relatively little leg room in the back seat and (2) it is not the quietest ride [obviously the engine is basically silent, but road noise is fairly loud].

Awesome!

The car is amazing! Worth every cent! Just have some trouble with the air blowing out when no AC or Heat is running. Other than that and long trips where there are not many chargers around this car is perfect!

Kona EV

Great EV to own. A little pricey but worth it. The warranty is great and the Kona EV is comfortable and reliable. You won't be regretting the decision you made to go with an electric vehicle made by Hyundai.

Kona EV

Overall I do like the vehicle. I wish it had more interior leg room for the rear seats though. And I wish the interior surfaces were nicer to the touch. Feels pretty brittle with all of the plastic surfaces.

Sub compact SUB Kona EV

It is a small hatchback, but better styling than most hatchbacks out there. Just wishing for larger door to get in and out, more space in the trunk to at least fit 2 regular luggage, and a bit higher ground clearance. The humming and buzzing can be distracting too but get the music on and won't hear the buzzing when driving. Fun little car. Expensive though

One of the top affordable EVs.

One of the best looking affordable EVs plus being in the SUV category. Not quite an SUV but sits higher than a sedan/hatch. Has a nice set of standard features like wireless android auto and lane assistance. Should have standard LED headlights and taillights if safety is priority.

Great Vehicle - would recommend

My Kona is excellent to drive. Powerful fast starting from stop. Great on hills and mountain roads. I would like a little more leg room (3")especially for the rear passengers. I believe that if there was a little more insulation in the roof and doors it will greatly dampen the road and wind noise. But I would but it again.

Easy-to-adopt EV

The Kona makes transitioning to an EV simple - it looks and feels like a "normal" car, except it's quicker, quieter, and smoother. It's compact enough to fit anywhere, but it has enough interior space for everyday needs. Realistically it's more of a large hatchback than a small SUV. The interior is comfortable and the control layout is generally intuitive. Performance-wise, the lack of tire grip is the only concern, so you'll need to change those out to take advantage of the electric motor's instant torque.

needs a wireless connection for maps on the Limited

when I purchased the 2022 Kona Electric I test drove the SE (8.5 inch) & the Limited (10 inch) (only 2 models available in the USA). I test drove the SE first, I noticed that Andriod Auto would connect completely with google maps, without the USB cable needing to be connected. In the limited, there is a limited "Bluetooth" function until you plug in a USB cable. Both the salesperson and sales manager stated that an update coming will make the Limited wireless like the SE as well with android auto. where and when is this? I have less than 3000 miles on the car - I do not drive off-road and there are already plenty of paint chips on the front of the car... why do you pay $400 more for plain white?

Great car. Room for improvement.

Overall, the Hyundai Kona EV is a very good electric vehicle. The range of roughly 230 miles is just enough. The car handles very well, is quiet and comfortable. Needs a roof rack and better rear design.

2022 Kona EV

It is very fun to drive. looks sleek. Accelerates fast and smooth. Milage range could be better. Cargo space needs some adjustment- back seats do not fold down flat. It folds with some angle. Overall, it is great vehicle to have and save a lot on GAS !

Overall great performance, some features are annoying

We love driving EVs, and this one is no exception. It handles well, pickup is quick and smooth, and it's a really quiet ride. And Hyundai just missed on some of the features. The charger locks in the port, and it took us a bunch of trial and error to figure out how to get it out. You get out of the car, and the rear doors lock before you have a chance to get your stuff (or the kids). Having the key in your pocket makes no difference. Just too many of these little annoying details.

Fun to drive EV

Good Overall but the dealer was making up the price. Either you want it at this price or walk away. Car was fun to drive. Sufficient range with size of battery. I cannot tell the car is heavy at this curb weight. Option to One Paddle Driving is Great. But i don't understand why headlight has to separate from the LED DRL. Can't they integrate into one to make it look nicer and save cost?
