Hyundai

Kona

This car drives like a sports car. Has plenty of room and has great gas mileage. This is my third Hyundai. And there’s an excellent chance my next car will be a Hyundai too. I am retired and it’s a great car for me.

A beautiful car catches my eye fast. I wanted a car that stood out in styling and in color. Car colors are so drab and boring. My last car was black and that doesn't work in an Arkansas summer. The Kona looks different from all its competitors. It is the perfect size for my family and fits in my garage well. The Lime Twist color is fantastic and it accents the interior wonderfully. The turbo doesn't eat gas and the acceleration is great. I feel like I got a great car. I know I did.

A new car has been in the works for a few years. I wanted to enjoy that new car smell i had heard so much about! A family member suggested another make and model. I was set on a burnt orange but found it terribly uncomfortable. The family member set up a test drive of the Kona and it was a perfect fit. Returned with my husband and we closed the deal.

Excellent fuel economy and comfort. better than expected in all aspects of comfort and visibility. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

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.

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.

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.

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,

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! :)

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.

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. :-)

I really love my car. She’s ORANGE (both color and name) and gets great milage. Not a full year owned and I have driven over 17,000 miles. Love the ability to have AWD and Front-wheel change quickly.

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.

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.

See above........These comments are TOO MUCH BULLSHIT.....JDJDJDJDJDJDJDJDJDJDJDJDHDHRHRGEHDHDGEHEHEJ3URHRHDBHDHDHHDHDHEGDHRUjdjdkdjdkdkdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjdjd

The style, and beauty of this car are second to none. The color, the looks, everything about this car is beatiful, it's easy to see why this was the car of the year, two years running in the U.S. I want to buy another one for myself!!

Note: I had an Elantra for 10 years and really miss some of it's comfortable & convenient features. This is my first SUV/hatchback (in 40 years of driving).

Positives about Kona 2019:
Car is fun to drive!
Safety features are very responsive to driving conditions
Love the heated front seats & their contour is comfortable
Sound system is clear
Find the keyless entry convenient
Windshield readily clears from fogging
Back seats easily go up & down

Negatives about Kona 2019:
Back seat/trunk storage room is too small; when seats are up have very limited storage space (and leg room)!
I need to reconfigure space use too often for basic, routine purposes.

Available custom 'net' for trunk secures to floor (like a tent) rather than providing a verticle 'pocket' for storing grocery bags, etc.

Trunk door practically needs to be slammed to close tightly; it looks closed but needs considerable force to ensure that it's locked.

Overhang design above rear window prevents cleaning well by commercial carwash

Big black box around rearview mirror closes in view of full windshield; vehicle is small and I would prefer to have more expansive view

Too much plastic in interior; it scratches easily and feels/looks 'hard'
Interior materials are 'cheap' and I doubt that they will hold up well over time! Should be of better quality if owner chooses to keep car for duration of warranty!

The lane keep assist feature works nothing like it does in the Santa Fe we own. It rarely shows as active for a significant length of time, even when conditions suggest it should be. You can barely feel the steering wheel pulling you back into the lane when you cross the line. Took it back to dealership where they adjusted the camera; no difference. Dealer drove 2 other Kona’s on the lot and they reacted the same way (meaning they hardly reacted at all). Disappointed since safety features were one of the reasons I purchased the car.

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.

Hi all. Back in Aug 2019 I totaled a 16 Tucson SE. Was in Need of another vehicle. As I wouldn't be able to ride my Harley in winter. Had to be AWD. Saw this as a Leftover 19 model. Test Drove. Was surprised by the way it handled. And the price was affordable. As I didn't have a trade in. And just did a lease buyout on the Tucson about 2 weeks earlier. This is a Leased vehicle. I will most likely buyout at the end. The only thing I wish I could've done differently, Got a higher trim line. With Fog lamps and wind tint. SEL model. But Finances and Need outweighed my wants.
