A very good vehicle, fun to drive and great fuel economy.

This is a very reliable car, super fun to drive too. Very sporty to drive especially in sport mode. The four wheel drive is excellent in snow and ice. Glad I got the 2.0 liter engine with standard automatic transmission, very simple, efficient, and reliable.

Noisy

The steering is much to sensitive you are always making corrections. The road noise is high at highway speeds. The performance is great with the turbo. The gas mileage is also very good at 32 highway. All and all. It is fine except for the steering

Don't do it!

Small, unreliable, uncomfortable - really have nothing good to say about the Kona. It was stalling and in limp mode within a year, repaired transmission. Within 4 year a complete transmission was again needed! Thank goodness for the warranty but really unacceptable in a brand new car. Very uncomfortable to drive unless you are less than 5 ft

Kona

I needed a new car for a reasonable price. It’s a smallish but reliable. Does ok on gas. I have nothing else to say but this thing wants me to write a minimum of 200 words. Therefore here you go, hope you enjoy.

My Kona is a treasure.

Driving my Kona, enjoying good gas mileage, basking in the compliments of friends on my "distinctive" vehicle and having great service experiences make owning a Kona a treasure. My experience with the dealership has been very positive. Highly recommend.

Good car, fun to drive.

Good car, fun to drive. I have been driving Hyundai since 1987, this is my sixth Hyundai vehicle.I bought other domestic vehicles in the past, let’s just say they were not reliable at all, with one of them I was at dealership every week for one thing or another and that was a brand new vehicle.

Quality affordable transportation

My Kona runs as well now with 84k miles as when I bought it new. It’s had normal routine service (oil changes, tires, headlights, and brakes). The only item that failed was the passenger side door mid range speaker. It was replaced without cost to me.

Hyundai Kona - Excellent Economical Vehicle

The Hyundai Kona is an excellent, affordable, compact SUV that is packed with a lot of features for it size. The exterior two-tone colors are excellent. The interior space is great for up to five and very comfortable on long trips. It has above average in fuel economy performance (especially with the turbocharged model that we have, about 28-30mpg in the city and 33-35mpg in the highway), excellent power when required (especially with the turbo) you can't beat that! Overall, we are very happy with our Hyundai Kona and would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking to buy a Compact SUV type vehicle that will stand out from normal big common SUVs!

I love my 2018 Hyunona! ... very zippy and comfortable to drive.

I love my 2018 Hyundai Kona ... very zippy vehicle affordable, economical on gas and comfortable to drive. I initially bought this car for my son but when he graduated from college he upgraded but I found the Kona so fun to drive I kept it for myself.

Excellent vehicle

I’ve had my vehicle for 3 years and I absolutely love it. It’s the ideal size has surprisingly a lot of power and sips the gas mpg is about 35 hwy. It has handled well in all terrain from mud to snow to city driving. The technology in this vehicle that comes standard is unmatched. I love my car!!!

Service Above and Beyond, from vehicle purchase to maintenance.

As a 78-year old senior, safety and car efficiency is important. I was unfamiliar with the performance capabilities of my Kona, and have been delighted with the car's weight on the road, as well as the easy steering, breaking, and the navigating and multimedia systems. At purchase time, Rob McNamee, my sales agent addressed all of my questions and concerns in a respectful, friendly and efficient manner, and explained all the features.

Sporty SUV

My Kona 1.6T drives and accelerates like a sports car and gets great gas mileage. I have gotten 46 mpg on the interstate. It has a beautiful exterior finish that sparkles in the sunlight. The interior is well thought out and very functional. I love this vehicle.

Great SUV for all applications

Kona will do it all. From hauling people to fence posts to bicycles. Fuel efficiency is very good in the city and great on the highway. Reliable and ready for every trip. I am going to get a new Kona when supplies get better.

review of a Kona(1.5L) model 2018

This model (1.5L) is very very reliable.. It is very stable on the road and reaches averages of 35 Miles per gallon. I have had this car for 3 years and I look forward to test the newer moles with the electric engines.
