Hyundai Kona Night 2021

Kona night is compact and easy to drive especially for beginner and novice drivers. It's good car for 1 to 3 persons. Easy to clean. Though it may not have a bigger cabin space (back) but will surely fit 2 luggage

Sleek and stylish. Great vehicle.

After a lot of research and vehicle comparisons, it became apparent the Kona was the choice for all of my needs. Great lines, sleek design, lots of features, and best of all excellent fuel economy. Hyundai has really stepped up their game.

Decent looking transportation for a reasonable price but lacking in some areas

It has most of the bells and whistles but is lacking in the comfort and road noise areas. Also it has not been very reliable and I am only at 6500 miles. Rear diff exploded at 3900 miles and trans rebuilt at 6500

It's a meh

I had a Kona sport model before I traded to my present car. I was offered a trade for a new car and I thought it made sense but the car has not performed well as far as performance and comfort. It feels like a cheap car.i am disappointed.9

great car for this price point

Bought a 2021 Kona Ultimate for my daughter to replace her worn out Ford Explorer. I liked it so much, I bought a 2022 Kona Limited for myself. Perfomance is better than expected out of this little 1.6 turbo. Fuel mileage is great. Overall quality is excellent for this pricepoint.

Hyundai Kona 21

Great value for the $. Would buy it again and would recommend to others. Everything I wanted and was looking for in a new car. Minor complaints compared to other Hyundai cars, but best of what was available.

Loving my Kona :) have driven a LOT since I got it :)

Cute and fun car to drive. Comfortable and secure. Love the extra safety features. Appreciate the extra services that are included in the purchase - up to three years maintenance! Score! Best part for me... this car was a gift from my parents!

Small but reliable (unless its about the paint)

Car runs great, the sports option gives it the accelation needed was well worth the added money. Headlights work great, clear and far reaching but yet do not interfear with oncoming traffic. Foglights not great but better than not having them as there are many foggy days. Have has issues with the lane assist sensors, in that they stop working while driving at times. they come back on either after a few minute or when the car is restarted. Paint is an issue, have a few places wheere the paint has chipped off with not noticable impact damage. Has some scratches in the roof and hood as well and only after 5000 miles. Think the scratches came from an automatic carwash, but cannot be 100% sure. Seem like the clear coat on the pait is low quaility and will likely not last.

Kona review

In my opinion overall it’s a decent vehicle I purchased the SEL model in white. My complaints are the seats are manual adjust, all my SEL previous purchases were electric adjust. The seats are hard and rigid not comfortable at all for long distances and the cab noise on the highway is high which makes it difficult to hear your passengers when talking. The climate control is all analog which seems cheap in an SEL model. I would rather have less sensors and better accommodations up front.

Glad I picked a Kona!

It is hard to imagine that I could find a vehicle with more value for the money. It has performance , comfort and styling. It is a pleasure to drive and at the same time I feel very safe when I am driving it! It seems that my Kona is going to last me a lifetime but if not I can't imagine that would change to a different car!

Great overall experience

The Hyundai Kona Ultimate is by far the best vehicle I have driven to date. It is sporty, zippy, fun to drive, has a great sound system, and is really great on gas. Sometimes I forget it's only a mild hybrid. I generally average 34-36mpg on the highway going 70-75mph. It's advertised as only getting 32mpg on the highway (don't be so modest Hyundai!). I would recommend the vehicle to anyone who wishes to blend style and comfort with mobility and efficiency.

My 1st brand new vehicle

I have been very pleased with the purchase of this vehicle, everything from the purchasing process to driving it daily and on long trips. I love that I can lay my back seat down pack up for a week away, with room to spare for my furry dog to come along.

Hyundai kona

My Kona purchase was easy, dealership was great, price was right. My kona handles very nicely in all weather conditions, keeps me cool/warm when I need it and doesn't take forever to do so. Gas mileage is okay. Storage is also okay.

Great car

Nice and comfortable economy car with all the advanced gadgets for a reasonable price. It handles very well on the snow. Gas mileage and power could be better. I like the exterior and the interior. The dealership was very aggressive trying to sell me extended warranty even though I told them I was not interested at start. He insisted he needed to go through the process.

Love my car

My Kona replaced an Elantra which I liked a lot. I lost it in a flood so I wanted to replace it with a larger vehicle. I saw my Kona in the dealership lot and fell in love with it! It is exactly what I was looking for in a car.

Love driving this car

I leased this car and was very comfortable with monthly payments I find this car comfortable to drone and the handling is excellent. I have gotten lots of compliments on the design of the Kona and would recommend it

My favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned

I saw an add on tv and I was interested. Went to a dealership 45 miles away. They worked with for trade in allowance, features that I wanted and price as I was leasing. They worked very hard to get me into this vehicle. I love it.
