Average car with some good qualitys

If you want a sporty around town vehicle you might consider this car. Acceleration, quirky styling, good gas mileage are the good points. Lack of options, road noise, rough ride, rough transmission, hatch that has to be slammed sometimes to close, intermittent display problems and gas pedal too close to the brake pedal are the cons.

Poor acceleration, cruise control also lags.

Base engine has very poor acceleration. When cruise control is engaged when going up a hill, the speed can drop up to 10 mph over about 10 seconds before the cruise reengages and catches up. More ground clearance would be preferable, and a little more storage capacity would be nice.

Tires rub

This is a fun car to drive. Lots of features that I didn’t even get to use because we traded it before we had it for a year. The tires rubbed against something when in reverse and turning, and sometimes when in drive making sharp turns. The noise was concerning, but after two trips to the dealer, we were told it was normal for this Kona. It doesn’t sound normal when driving.

Great for a single driver, not great for passengers

The car is remarkably fuel-efficient. It comes with a load of safety features. It handles very well. The acceleration is very good for such a fuel-efficient vehicle. There is very little space in this SUV, which really, is more of a hatchback. If the people in front have legs, the people in the back won't have room for their own. The ride can be very rough. For passengers it can feel like riding in a toy wagon once you hit any bump, crease, seam, or pothole. I'd say this car would be best for a single commuter wanting to get to and from work cheaply, or for young Kyle to go zipping in and out lanes with during busy traffic. If you are parking this is a garage, great, if not, be aware that water passes right from the windows through the doors and pools up in the door wells.

sporty and fun to drive

If you don't mind lack of bells and whistles its sporty and fun to drive with great gas mileage. I found I missed heated leather, power seats. It also has fairly loud road noise. I didn't like the black trim...it was hard to keep clean.

Love the vehicle - hate service

Only wish Kona N came with all wheel drive. Vehicle is perfect for my needs but dealership service experience sucks. Also called Hyundai customer service and rcvd run around. Level of service is a killer for me and will probably cause me to look elsewhere for another vehicle.

Lackluster driving performance loaded with tech and features

Overall it's a very small and reliable car with AWD. It's loaded with all the bells and whistles you would expect at the limited trim. Seats were comfortable and ride quality was ok, with an overall sporty feeling because you're very close to the ground. Gas economy was superb for an AWD vehicle, with real life MPG at 30+. Lane tracking and assisted cruise control were very good, and made highway driving a breeze. That being said, there are problems with this car. The first is the incredibly small cargo capacity (even versus competitors). The second is the large amount of turbo lag that forces you to floor it every time you want to accelerate. It could really benefit from some tuning and expanding of the wheelbase to make it a bit larger. Drivers stance is very low, and it drives more like a hatchback than an SUV. Apple Car Play was wired in the premium trim and wireless in the lower trims. This makes no sense especially given the limited interior room in the car. If you don't mind the smallness of the vehicle, it's a good value. If you're looking for an exciting drive and cargo room, look elsewhere.

Nice vehicle but cheap items keep it from earning a higher rating.

I have ownded/leased 3 konas in the past couple of years and I think this is my last one. Hyundai removed the heads up display, electrical issues with the navigation/speedometer and does not have some of the items that other vehicles in its price range have.

2022 Hyundai Kona

The Kona is very small. Gets very good gas mileage. Exterior build could have been better. Doesn't handle well in winter despite all wheel drive. Barely any storage as far as trunk space as well as minimum storage inside.

Nice but for a terrible transmission design

Loved the car but for a painfully jerking clutch - unacceptable for an automatic transmission car - clutch got replaced under warranty but did little to solve the problem - seems a design flaw... avoid this double clutch automatic transmission at all cost

Dealer dupedme into an extended warranty and oil change agreement that was unneeded and oil changes were not provided as agreed. Lost money when someone attempted to steal my vehicle. Theft prone. Insurance cost is ridiculous

Safe and reliable

Bought this car for my college daughter. She picked it out, and I confirmed with online research that it was worth buying. It’s safe, reliable, and she likes all the modern amenities. Bergstrom Victory Lane imports in Wisconsin was a great dealership.

close to perfect.

they put together some great features. but missed a few. overall for the price you can't do better IMO. android auto and seat and mirror position memory would have hit all the buttons for me. opt for the higher horsepower engine if you can. the base model with the automatic felt too slow and mushy to me. the handling is very nice and tight for such a tall vehicle.

Cruise control does not maintain the speed it set at

Love everything about the cruise control. Don’t know why it Hass to be 200 characters for an answer. I can’t think of anything else to say besides what I’ve already said. This is very irritating to do.
