My 2020 Kona

This vehicle looks pretty decent. It lacks better fuel mileage, acceleration is a bit rough and lacking, too much plastic inside, no truck auto truck pop, the control for AC and radio should be electric in above base model. I have had some issues with the temp control. Engine makes noises sometimes and isn't as quiet as it was when I bought it. All this after already having an engine replacement at 7k. Seats should also be auto with any model above base. Seats also arent very comfortable. Floor mats should be included. Middle console is WAY to small. Interior scratches too easily.

Great car but....

The brakes are noisy sometimes. Also the car vibrates and that’s very annoying and can make you nervous. Another reason why I wouldn’t consider getting another Kona is that there is no spare tire. That can be an expensive problem if you get a flat.

Kona

Great car. Just some cosmetic issues with this car. The glass was pitted as if it went through a sand storm. Didnt notice it until after I purchase it. I drove the car when the sun was going down as the light reflected off the window. You can see all the pited Mark's.

Kona review

Overall this vehicle needs some serious improvements. Its a car not in love with it .............. I was happier with the Santa fe wondering if I can make a trade ? I would like something with more storage area in the back.

The brake may have problem

Overall is fine. But the brake make clanking sound. feel lose. The quality of the vehicle is not that good. It will be rust in a very short time in the Eastern area. With the salt, snow and water, I don't expect this vehicle to last very long.

Meh

The Konas a great car if you don’t have a faulty engine. Or get subpar service when you need the engine replaced. New car with a new engine… and I’ve switched dealers and would drive 4x as long for better service. Inconvenient overall experience. Hard to be excited for my new car when it’s given me more trouble than the Nissan I bought off the side of the road in high school. If i had a Kona without all the issues… I’d love my car

Bad engine

Don't buy the 2.0 engine. They're going to replace them and it will make the car worthless. It's very unfortunate that Hyundai knew the engine was faulty and sold the car anyway. Terrible on their part.

Average vehicle

Pretty good for its price point. A bit generic, and has few technical issues but over I quite enjoy it. Not necessarily recommend it but if your choice between compact sedan or this, definitely get this car.

Small with no power

The car is very small without much room, especially in the hatch. The car has no power or speed and even has a governor set. When trying to pull out quickly into traffic, it hesitates. The stereo system sucks. Terrible. When songs are on the radio, it only shows the radio station but not the song or artist. Allegedly you can connect to your phone to add contacts etc, but other than making calls hands free, I am unable to access contacts but only recent calls to refer to. Texting via the phone is not possible, as I was able to do with my Subaru. Android Auto only works if you connect it to a hard wire port, and not via the charging dock. Not only that, Google Maps only works with Android Auto, meaning the phone must be physically plugged in via charging cord, and then other features won't work, such as radio. I am very disappointed in this car and wish I did more research in it before buying it.

2020 Kona

We like this in many ways but it has room limitations and a great deal of cheaper finishes were used. The performance for a 4 cylinder car is good and the assistive devices onboard are very helpful in daily driving.

Average car nothing special

The vehicle handles well , good pickup , but a noisy not real comfortable ride. Pretty Spartan in luxury. Not very impressive gas mileage, priced a bit high for features and ride. For these reasons the unreliability of my previous Santa Fe’s this will be my last Hyundai.

Bought for my wife, sold it after she died

Poor handling compared to the 2015 Elantra. I even considered the 2014 Toyota 4x4 to handle better than Kona. The featured offered on the Kona were much less than the 2015 Elantra. My wife wanted the vehicle is the reason it was purchased

Hyundai Kona EV 2020

This EV car is ok and has all basic features like your old car for driving in short distance of 25 to 150 miles daily. This model has only front wheels drive, so it’s not recommended to drive in high speed on wet road. I will change bad quality tires to good quality brand tires later. The noise is getting louder than before. The strip on roof is loose and I used super glue to keep thing sticking it.

I bought a 2020 kona and now my paint is chipping off . And has been a headache trying to get it fixed they dealership.

Over all I’m happy with my new car purchase. Just not satisfied with the service at my dealership. It shouldn’t be this complicated to get issues fixed. I doubt I will buy any car from this company.

No help from dealership

The car is fine- unable to get in for an appointment/ no evening times- told my warranty won’t be honored because dealership sold- just found out by doing this survey that there’s a tire kit in car/ dealership didn’t mention that

A Great Car with Poor MPG and rough ride!

A great car with awesome pickup and handling, BUT very poor gas MPG way below published limits and the car rides very rough and stiff. If it wasn’t for the poor MPG and stiff ride it would be the perfect small SUV.
