Love my kona

I had to replace my other car. Which I got into a car accident. I've had my kona for 3 months now. I love it! I went on a trip with my family it and it was a great drive. I recommend to drive one to see of they like it for their family. Thankyou Hyundai!

Kona Ultimate Toronto Review

Picked up my Phantom Black 1.6T Ultimate one week ago after waiting 6 weeks for delivery. So far it has been fantastic on fuel consumption with all my city driving. Coming from a V8 this is a huge plus. The handling and chassis have exceeded expectations. Who knew an SUV at this price point can be so much fun! Did run into a small problem on the 4th day. Tire was punctured with a nail near the sidewalk and had to be replaced. Thankfully I took the wheel and tire warranty! Replaced on Monday this week without question and no money out of my pocket! Love my Kona Ultimate!!

Love my new Kona!

I recently purchased a 2018 Kona, and I am very happy with my decision to buy this car. I love the trim on the car - looks kind of sporty - and I really love the gas mileage. Two days after I bought it, I put 800 miles on it, and it handled beautifully. Love the bluetooth and back up camera (My last car was a 2007, so I've finally joined the 21st century!) The sound system is great, and overall the car offers a quiet ride. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a smaller vehicle that drives well and offers all of the extra you could want.

2018 Kona SEL

I love love this vehicle! It gets awesome gas mileage, still has features I've yet to explore. It drives well and is just an overall well made vehicle. It handles well and has quite a pick up for a 4 cylinder.

Love love love

What a great vehicle , we put lots of milage on our vehicles and get great mpg.. with driving to PA alot the tide is very comfortable and roomy for all our stuff . We have bragged to many friends and co-workers about how much we love the car . It's compact and rugged for the times when it's needed but yet all the features of a sub. The driver assist is great for this late night drives when your tired

Hyundai Kona 2018

Love how the car looks inside and outside. I love how the car drives. I have always previously driven a manual transmission and this is as fun to drive as my previous car with the manual transmission! The car is awesome!

Love this peppy little car!

I was very excited to see Hyundai offer this new model. The Kona is everything I had hoped for. It’s comfortable, responsive, and priced just right. The warranty that Hyundai offers is one of the best available.

Awesome crossover with performance

Amazing styling with great performance. I love this car. Enough room for my tools and people. Also enough power and performance to have fun. I work for other car dealerships doing IT and when I roll into the parking lot they ask me to test drive it because they've never seen such a cool crossover.

A great compact SUV

A great compact SUV that offers some extras found in more pricey vehicles. Like blind spot sensors and rear view camera. A great car for college students and small families. Overall is a great vehicle for the price.

Pros and cons

It's a nice vehicle. I like the larger wheels. (I had a curb problem with my Elantra.). I wish it had the Adaptive Cruise Control, compass on the rearview mirror, GPS in the vehicle what if I didn't have a cell phone?), dual climate control for driver/passenger, automatic unlatch feature for the lift gate. In short, put all the comfort/safety features of the Elantra in the Kona Limited and you'll have a perfect car! And, there should be a push button close option for the lift gate, to accommodate us short, elderly people! And, the owner's manual and especially the quick reference guide should clearly state which instructions apply to which models.

2018 Kona Turbo Ultimate AWD: Great, Could be Greater

Knowing Hyundai via my 2014 Veloster Turbo, the improvements in interior and high-tech features are notable in the Kona! Plus, even at lower horsepower, the Kona is FASTER due to the 7 speed gearing and higher revving setup (via Sportsmode). Plus, it is 2 inches shorter, which for a city dweller like me, makes this car a home run. The lane keep assist (steering within the lines for you if needed) is a great safety feature, as are all the others (blind side monitoring, pedestrian detection, vehicle detection/i.e. it can brake for you on the highway if needed). What it's missing is the Smart Cruise Control (available on other Hyundais), the ventilated seats (also available on other Hyundais), and for Headsup Display, using Android Auto navigation (as the included navigation is klugey at best, plus why would you use it when you can just push a button and talk to Google maps?) I looked at the Mazda CX3...controls not-intuitive, interior definitely much nicer, but underpowered by comparison, and the storage space is no bueno in comparison (tiny in CX3.)...in my Veloster I was able to put two road bikes in (removed front tires on each)...I believe i can do the same in the Kona.

Perfect for empty nester

The Kona is a prfect small suv for an empty nester grandma who wants a smaller vehicle, but still needs room for grandkids. It offers all the features and extras I was hoping to find that weren't offered in other small suvs. Great car!

Awesome AWD fun to drive

This is my first AWD vehicle. Features and style are amazing. Handles well in bad weather. Interior is comfy. Sound system is pretty good. Has Apple Car play for navigation. Love the back up camera. Would totally recommend getting one.

Hyundai Kona Limited 2018 is a terrific vehicle!

I did an extensive search for a new car and kept coming back to the Kona. It's well-styled, loaded with great features, and drives exceptionally well. The 1.6L Turbo engine has great power and the car handles exceptionally well. The driver's seat is fully adjustable with automatic controls making it extremely comfortable. The quality of the interior and exterior finishes is excellent. I feel totally safe driving this car. So very happy with my decision.

The Kona is a fun, powerful dynamo!

Love the look and handling of this car. Wish the blue had been a bit deeper or darker. More color options would be great. Many feature choices available. Dealer ship was easy to work with. Looking forward to seeing how it handles in the snow this winter.

Satisfied with the Kona

The new Kona is the exact car we were looking for as a daily driver for my wife. She likes the size, the power and the excellent technology that is offered on the Ultimate. We have the Santa Fe Ultimate as a larger size vehicle for grandchildren and traveling.

Really Fun Car!

The Hyundai Kona is a great fit to the Hyundai SUV lineup and a great option for compact/crossover SUV lovers. The Kona gets >30 MPG and is a great option for anyone who wants a sporty, fun SUV but doesn't need a ton of room or size.

Love this little SUV

This has been a surprisingly fun little car to own. It's really stylish looking and doesn't skimp on amenities. I purchased the Ultimate Kona Turbo with AWD. I can't wait to drive it up to Big Bear this winter. If you are looking at the competitors in this vehicle class, take this car for a test drive before you make your purchase.
