Wife loves the car

Because of its styling, the Kona was the only vehicle considered. We purchased the last body dtyle because of the preferred styling over the new style of the 2024 model year. My wife had the dealer find one for her that was just right.

The Kona N, Best cost to fun factor.

I purchased a New 2023 Hyundai Kona N after having a Veloster N years prior. I have wanted the Kona N since they came out but waited till I could afford it. After owning it for some time now, I still love the car. I usually trade vehicles after a year but I will end up keeping this one. The infotainment is very nerdy (In a good way), lots of features from Android auto to HD Radio. The screen is extremely responsive, swiping back and forth between pages looks and feels great. No lag, no waiting. The interior is mostly plastic with some very nice leather / suede seats. They are heated but in my trim, no heated steering wheel. The rear seats continue this design and they match perfectly. You sit in an upright position high in the vehicle which is a bit to get used to but surprisingly has over 4 inches of headroom for me at 5' 11". Its roomy while still feeling like a smaller vehicle. The exterior and interior styling is aggressive but 1 out of 5 people will say "Yes I want to look at that every time I walk to it". The performance for the N model is what shines and the reason I purchased it. The 2.0l turbo will spring into life with the press of the N button on the steering wheel. The exhaust valve opens up and an audible growl is heard. The suspensions damping becomes extremely tight. The front differential is set to be more aggressive with clutch electronic locking. The transmission is set to snap gear changes as quickly as possible. The steering assist is reduced to give the driver more feeling in the road and the vehicle. Now this is all down within a second after pressing the button. Oh and you feel like customizing all these things with multiple levels? No worries, it will do that and give you a second separate N button that you can also customize just for that. There is an NGS button for when the 260 something HP is not enough and need more for passing a mini van full of kids on there way to soccer practice. Its a car that you can rip around at full speed back firing everywhere on your way to your in laws but then put in ECO mode when picking them up to impress them on how quiet and comfortable it is. Its the eco mode that allows you to not get a noise complaint at your apartment complex but can hit N mode and open up the exhaust once you hit the main road. Its not the quickest, but you will beat most regular vehicles out there, including your buddy with the WRX that wont stop talking about symmetrical AWD this and Boxer power that. I still get around 26 MPG around town as its very rare I am on the highway. You can fit four full size adults mostly comfortably in it as long as they are not too tall. The rear cargo area is shallow but still allows even my largest RC cars, folding chairs, and other stuff I throw back there in a rush to leave. The Kona N and N vehicles are cars for certain people. Its stiff suspension, loud exhaust depending on mode, and bolstered seats are not for everybody but when you are on a windy road, you have it in N mode, enjoying the sounds and feeling the car rip around corners that you didn't think you could go that fast into, it makes driving fun again at an actual affordable price.

Fantastic and fun hatch

Kona N is extremely fun and practical. The car is a riot and the engine and DCT transmission is very quick and responsive. Even though it's a CUV, the car handles similarly to the previous Veloster N which I had.

Awesome value fun!

Amazing performance for the price! Practical daily driver with plenty of room for kids/groceries and you can take it to the track on the weekend. I wish the interior materials felt more premium, the lane keep assist is great but the lack of adaptive cruise is disappointing.

A Quick Bang For Your Buck

This fantastic, small, speedy SUV is perfect for the city and highway! Lots of fun without a high price tag or high fuel cost! Would totally recommend to anyone who likes to get off the line quick, but doesn't want to get caught speeding at 200mph!

A surprisingly great car

After 16 months with a 2022 Chevy Trailblazer Activ and being slightly underwhelmed, I decided to take advantage of the high trade-in value and try my luck with a 23 Kona Limited. So far, it was definitely a good choice! The exterior styling is either a "love it or hate it" deal, but I'm on the side of loving it. Interior is decent as well in the Limited, as there are soft touch spots throughout the cabin. Yes, there is more hard plastic than in luxury vehicles, but at this price point, I don't expect to be coddled in leather or total plushness! As for driving, this car is amazing. The 1.6T 195hp engine is very peppy and actually feels more powerful than it is. No worries about accelerating up an on ramp or even better, passing cars on the highway is a breeze. Add in all of the driving nannies such as Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive cruise and the very cool Highway Drive Assist (sort of semi-autonomous driving), and you've got a tremendous value. Oh, and the Harmon-Kardon stereo is quite good, again considering the price point of the vehicle. My main gripes are that there is no heated steering wheel, the Limited (and N Line) models do not offer wireless Apple CarPlay, and the DCT seems a bit janky when in stop and go traffic situations. The car sort of shimmies a bit, which isn't a big deal, but I do think it's fair to point out. Overall, I am very pleased with my Kona. Nice job Hyundai!

Perfect Compact SUV

Very stylish, smart compact SUV. The N-Line has a much more responsive engine than the standard Kona and as a result handles a bit better moving through traffic and getting on to freeways. Very tight U-turn radius means it makes it easier to maneuver this vehicle in parking lots. There's a lot of tech on this vehicle so I made sure to get the appropriate warranties for the maximum time.

Hyundai Kona

The vehicle is great would like to see a little more room for handicap kids or adults. The way the vehicle is made makes it easy to get in and out of with bad knees. Need to be able to have a few more functions when it comes to seats on passenger side

It's the perfect sized vehicle for my style and personality.

The Kona is exactly what I want and need in a vehicle. It suits my needs and mobility. I would definitely recommend purchasing a Hyundai for anyone I know. It's affordable, dependable and practical. My overall experience driving my car so far has been so amazing. I love it.

Fun car to drive & plenty of room

If anyone is looking for a great car at a great price Hyundai is your brand. I am a fan of hatchbacks & the Kona is a perfect get around town car. Adding the turbo has made me feel confident and secure when getting up to highway speed or needing to pass.

2023 Kona N-Line Edition

Fun to drive, zippy turbo powered 1.6 L, responsive handling with AWD. The sunroof and heated front passenger seats are a plus. Has all the safety features anyone could want. Great built in Navigation and Entertainment system. Also allows for Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Only cons would be the interior storage is quite lacking and the rear legroom just isn't there. Small trunk space also, but does have rear folding seats. Small fuel tank calls for more fill ups and MPG rating is average at best Great value for the money. Awesome little SUV/Crossover. Would highly recommend. I love mine

Fantastic Xae

We love our Kona. Great gas mileage. Excellent warranty! Very comfortable. The Kona has many many available options. We have the N-line that comes with a sunroof-which was an added bonus. A sporty vehicle that looks like a luxury vehicle without the cost.

Great little suv!

Drives like a big SUV. Styling and features are superb. Could use a little more room inside when hauling 4 passengers and luggage. I knew it going in. MPG great! The warranty is great as well as the blue link. Overall a great, reasonable priced purchase. My first Hyundai, they are not throw away vehicles.

2023 Hyundai Kona

Bought my 2023 Hyndai Kona N Line from Ralph Schomp Hyndaid/Aurora. Our sales Rep, Natasha Knight, was absolutely amazing and made the buying experience so easy and stress free. I love my new Kona! I previously owned a 2020 Kona, which, sadly was stolen and ruined. The new Kona is beautiful and loaded with extras. She's fun to drive and quick/efficient and comfortable.

great car

The car is good. Everything works as it should and it gets me where I need to go and back home. The rest of this is just a filler of characters for the two-hunder minimum character limit for some reason
