Fun and functional

Planned on replacing my leased Tucson with another Tucson but opted for the Kona. It's smaller size makes it fun to drive. And, the load capacity with the seats down hasn't failed me yet. It's speedy2

HYUNDAI KONA

A close friend traded in her Sante Fe on a Kona and was extremely pleased. That is mainly why we bought a Kona---We already have an Elantra!! For our type of use, it seems to fit the bill well!! THANX

Absolutely love it, it's sleek, zippy, efficient, and small while being useful!

Absolutely love my Kona Ultimate. Love the 4WD, the interior features such as heated seats, remote start from my phone, car locator, unlock from my phone, and the interior design are really impressive. I've had the car a year now and I still love getting into it. It's small, can fit in small spaces, but still offers spacious interior for storage and carrying large items. It's comfortable both as a driver and passenger for a long drive. As a shopper, I was highly comparing competition and it came out stronger in comparison to the Honda HR-v, Subaru Crosstrek, Toyota CH-R, and Nissan Kicks. I love my Kona and would recommend it to anyone interested in a CUV.

Kona

I love my Kona. It's a car I can see myself happy owning for the full length of my lease if not longer. I love how I can project my google maps from my phone onto the main screen, so I don't have to keep looking down at my phone to figure out where I'm going, especially if I'm on the Freeway going 60 - 80 MPH. It's a small SUV but it's a nice in between size for me. I was driving a small 4 door sedan before and was nervous in the big SUV's. So my next car when ever that happens will be an SUV and it will be thanks to this car that I will feel more comfortable in that.

Amazing. Couldn’t be happier.

I absolutely love this car. I personally do not think you can find a better vehicle for the price with a better warranty. The options available in all models are great and help tailor the vehicle to your liking. No matter base model or fully loaded, the vehicle pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality of the vehicle you’re going to get with the Kona. The vehicle is excellent on gas on the highway and in the city. All wheel drive is great in the snow and not once did I feel like the vehicle was struggling. I live in New England and have to drive through the snow quite often. I recommend this vehicle to anyone and everyone I know who needs a car.

Kona turbo - love it!

Bought the Kona turbo new. First Hyundai ever owned and the styling, turbo, warranty and gas mileage sold me. I've been pleased with the gas mileage and handling of the vehicle. The overall interior and exterior body style is attractive for a small crossover/suv. The car feels solid to drive and the sport/turbo mode really kicks in nicely. I don't notice too much of a drop in gas mileage while using the sport mode. Climate control is nice and cabin stays proportionately stable. The 8" navigation/entertainment screen is a plus! Big difference from my previous 5" screen. Cabin can get a little noisy from road sound but not a deal breaker. Looking forward to see how it handles in snowy weather. So far, very pleased.

Hyundai Kona

This was not my vehicle of choice but I do like it a lot. As a retiree living on SS I have to get a car with a payment I can afford. I had never heard of this car but it came the closest to my payment range.

I Love My Kona!

I love my Kona! It's fun to drive, nimble, goes well in the snow. The systems are very user friendly. I love the simplicity of the interior. It rides great and gets excellent gas mileage. And it looks sweet! So glad I settled on a Kona. I researched other subcompact SUV's, but the Kona was the better car for the price.

The best vehicle I have ever had.

I have owned at least 18 vehicles in my lifetime some large and fast, some high end and some small. I am so impressed with the Kona that my wife and I both have one. Yes it is a smaller vehicle but it does not feel like it. It handles very well and with the turbo it is quite quick. It is very comfortable and looks great. I definitely recommend this vehicle. :-)

2019 Kona

My 2019 Hyundai KONA is the first brand new car I have ever had. It is a wonderful car. I love the way it rides, and the seats are very comfortable, especially since I have a bad back. And passengers in my car say the seats are very comfortable. The car handles very well on highway driving. I love everything about my KONA. I would recommend it to anyway who wanted a new car. It is not too small or too big, just right. It is also very easy to get in and out of, which is also good for my back. It is overall, a great car.

2019 Kona

this car has exceeded all expectations. We love driving it and love the way Hyundai has brought the best of several vehicles together. We feel like we are in a big SUV with the great gas mileage and the maneuverability of a small car. It is one of the best cars in the snow that i have ever had and it gives us the piece of mind that we haven't had in the past with let's say our F_ _ d. Can't wait to buy my wife a new one so i can get this one! :)

The Kona is an excellent vehicle. We purchased 3 weeks before going on a road trip. Great gas mileage, handling and comfort, Would recommend purchasing. Bob Oley at the Freysinger dealership is great to work with,

Great car!

I love my Kona! It’s the perfect size, good on gas, awesome in the snow and blue link is the best thing ever! It has more features than I know how to use. It is taller than a car but not a monster like some SUVs. This is my first car with seat warmers and they are great.

Exceeded expectations; Ironman edition

Very comfortable, handles surprisingly well. Great looks, especially exterior, with Ironman edition. Would have no problem buying another Hyundai. No opportunity to require AWD yet. Note no adaptive cruise control, no heated steering wheel the biggest issues.

Best car I’ve ever owned!!!

Handling, power and great gas mileage! Not a family car but acts and looks like a sports car but easy on the gas. Super fun to drive!!! I’m 6’2 and there is plenty of room. Back seat is small so might not be the best transportation for 4 adults.

Fun to Drive and No More Range Anxiety

I spent a lot of time researching options and waited patiently for more vehicles to be available. Once I was able to test drive the Kona EV, I was absolutely certain it was the right way to go. Compared to the Tesla Model 3, the Kona isn't as fancy or tech forward, but between the price difference and the available tax credit, it is hard to justify the $10K+ difference in price of the Tesla. My coworker has the Model 3, which is excellent by the way, and I've driven that car many times (he likes letting others drive it). The stated range is 258 miles on 100% charge, which is only realistic if you don't use the climate system. That said, because the electric motor doesn't generate heat as a byproduct, I actually find lots of times where I have no need for A/C or heat. And the heated/ventilated seats are an amazing ally for not using the other climate systems. My daily commute is about 75 miles to/from work (about 25K miles/year), so I charge it every other night so I don't run into a situation where errands or other short trips put me at risk of running out of power. Previously, I was spending about $225/month on gasoline for my car; now I spend under $40/month in electric power for the car. (I don't have solar, yet!) This car drives like a "Hot Hatch" with super nimble handling and rocket fast acceleration. (The acceleration is similar to other electric vehicles because of the torque.) In fact, the Kona is so much fun to drive that I've had to seriously temper my inner 18-year-old from doing stupid things on the road. After a couple of weeks, I set the regenerative braking to the max, which helps add to the battery range, but also allows for the 1-pedal driving along with the steering wheel paddles, where the only use of the brake pedal is in emergency situations. It takes a bit to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, you are able to smooth out the drive and conserve power. The Kona doesn't scream out "ELECTRIC" when you see it, since it looks identical to the gas version. The downside of this is that there probably could have been more storage, perhaps even in the front (like the Tesla "frunk") where the traditional gas motor would go. Instead, there is a lot of wasted space in the front and the rear has smaller useful storage area. Also, even at the top trim level, you don't get a spare tire, rather a "fix-a-flat" kit. It seems like they choose this route to give you some extra storage space, but the fix kit could easily fit in the wasted space in the front engine area. Folding down the rear seats makes the storage capacity excellent, although it isn't long enough for really long IKEA boxes. The back seats are a little cramped for people 6'+ tall, but average sized adults are okay. I am super happy with this car and by simply keeping track of the charge level, I haven't run into any situation where I felt limited by the range.
