Great EV, Comfortable Car

The Kona is an efficient EV, getting as much as 5 miles per KWHr when keeping to 60 mph or below (over 300 mile range!), and about 4 miles per KWHr cruising at 70 mph (about 256 miles). On long trips DC fast chargers from Electrify America are easy to find and at convenient locations like Sheetz and WalMart that make for pleasant breaks. Charging speed makes breaks similar in length to stops I take in gas powered cars when I stop for restroom, to walk a bit, and maybe get something to eat. Most charging is done at home of course, but on trips it is easy to do and fairly quick. The Kona Limited is well appointed, very comfortable and has nice "extra" features like heated steering wheel, ventilated seats (heat and cool) and smart cruise is really smart. Controls have real buttons so are easy to get to quickly, don't have to navigate screen menus to find basic controls like fan and temperature. Would be nice to have a subwoofer but audio sounds great. Doesn't have any frunk storage, would be helpful to put mobile charger in a frunk rather than under floor in the back which is inconvenient if suitcases or other stuff are back there. Bought a 40amp after-market charger for use at home and away (such as at hotels or other locations that just have an outlet, not a charger) but takes up space when traveling and is inconvenient to juggle with luggage since there is no frunk.

Love my Kona

This is my first EV and so far I'm impressed! I assumed I'd have to drive slowly to ensure a decent range but this car is still zippy and fun to drive while having a great range. My husband drives an Ioniq5 and though he has shorter charging times for a similar range, my kw/h are consistently higher!

Kona electric is great

We purchased the Kona Eletric because we were looking to get a new car looked and Tesla, Ford and Kia all were ok but the Kona gave us the best distance for the money. The features are great also. Our biggest selling point was the distance you can go on a charge. The other is that I travel about 1500 miles a month and it costs $40.

So fun! I'll never go back to gas.

This car is a joy to drive. Fast, cute and lots of gadgets. I absolutely love it. Now they're requiring 200 characters. No. Just no. Now they're requiring 200 characters. No. Just no. Now they're requiring 200 characters. No. Just no.

Quick little hatchback

Great little starter ev. It is fun to drive and competes with the model 3. The car is compact, but makes a great commuter car. Android auto is amazing! Acceleration is superb and has many standard safety features, which are great if you drive a lot.

Grat value for an EV

I feel fortunate to have found a Kona that was available for purchase. It was priced right, fun and easy to drive, came with free charging for three years and has an incredible maintenance program like no other. Plus, I'm helping the environment, which is important to me.

Love EV

We bought our Kona EV Limited to help the environment and because the looks and features are very impressive. Great lighting package inside and out, the cabin is very comfortable, and it is wonderful to never buy gas.

Kona Electric

The Kona electric is a great vehicle. I enjoy the hands-free controls and features that this car has to offer. I particularly chose this vehicle for the range that it gets from being fully charged, and the convenience package that came with it, such as a built-in cell phone charging port.

Great Starter EV

Spunky car with lots of options. Comfortable and very easy to navigate as a first EV. Technology integrates well and is easy to use. It is not a luxury car but definitely does the job. Overall really happy with this purchase.

Love it!

Great EV with the best warranty. This is an excellent value on an EV with a relatively long range. However, rear window visibility is not great, and the batteries are older technology which charge more slowly than the batteries in some other EV's. Normally that's not an issue for me, and even on road trips it's not a big deal, but charging does take a little longer--typically 20-30 min instead of 10-15 min at most fast chargers. Also, there's not a lot of head room in the front seats--this isn't a problem for me or my spouse, but if you're 70 inches/178 cm tall or taller, you might have an issue with this. Recommend you test drive first if you're not sure.

Great ev

Range is good, car is fun to drive. Love the heated seats and safety features. Wish the rear seats were heated. Car responds with excellent acceleration when merging onto interstates. Can fit some good size cargo in the hatchback

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).

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.
