stylish, fun, plenty of room suv.

This car has tons of style, fun,, easy features, and uniqueness. Its got the attitude to be the boss but, the chill factor to keep things simple. It is safety equipped and is good for the teenager to the senior adult. Give it a try you will be surprized.

Good Small SUV for Commute

This car has more tech than I had with my previous 2016 car and I appreciate the integration w my phone. I like the extra safety features like the blind spot detection and back up detection. I traded heated seats in my previous cars for remote start in this car. Inventory was low at time of purchase so some features were not available.

2023 Kona

Nice small car compared to other vehicles priced okay, Cost of new vehicles just unbelievable. Like the warranty. Maybe should have waited and bought a Tuson. So far has been a good experience with the Kona

Hyundai Kona

It easy to use, fun, it has the ability to touch a button say what I need and help find it close to you. It allows for all wheel drive lock in. It has abilities to shift in to lower gears of and when needed.

2023 Kona

I love this car. It fits me well and I'm enjoying Bluetooth features. And it's fun to drive. I suppose if you were taller, you'd think the interior is too small but compared to the Santa Fe, the Kona is right for me.

Could be better with gas mileage. The lease payment is way too high for the size and model of vehicle. Love the color and size of vehicle.

Please refer to the previous comment. The trunk could have a little more space. Not able to put golf bag unless I put down backseat. The headlights are not wide enough to illuminate the sides of road.

Satisfied

Overall am very satisfied with vehicle. Does everything I was expecting it to. Great gas mileage and have had no problems with vehicle. Survey seems a bit long and but was willing to do the survey but the two hundred characters is a bit much.

Buggy software and dull gray "Silver" paint mar a zippy and fun handling car

The car accelerates and handles well. Road noise is reasonable, and the front seating is comfortable (rear leg and headroom is tight). What is called Silver paint is dull gray, and the display software is buggy. Driver profiles do not control driver seat position.

Could have been better!

Good little car but expensive for what you get. Good performance and gas mileage but stiff suspension and a lot of road noise. Some nose options but missing others. Heated seats but no heated steering wheel.

Fun safe car.

Purchased a 2022 Hyundai Kona Limited. At 14,922 miles I had to have a new transmission put in. Fast forward to 23,800 miles had to have a new turbo installed. Two major componets failed within the first 25,000 miles. Luckily all was covered under my warranty. Looking past those major repairs I love my car. Car is fun to drive and does great in the snow and mud. The all wheel drive system is awesome. One of my favorite features is the HDA. Highway driving assist is amazing. Worth every penny I spent on this car.

BETTER THAN TUCSON BUT NOT WONDERFUL

I HAD PURCHASED A 2022 TUCSON AND THAT WAS A BIG, BIG MISTAKE....THE TUCSON WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE 2018 I HAD AND WAS VERY UNGAINLY AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE....THE KONA IS BETTER BUT NOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS

It’s a small car with average mileage on gasoline.

I wish the car wouldn’t have a rattling noise coming from the side when making a left turn or u-turn. It’s constantly reminding me that I bought the wrong car, made the wrong choice in buying this car.

Great in very specific conditions!

My 2023 Kona N is a very good vehicle on the verge of being gray but unfortunately just missing the mark on a few things. To get some small stuff out of the way, the driver speedometer screen looks as though it’s outline by a skinny plastic border which makes it look out of place almost as if it was aftermarket or too small for the area it is in. My driver profile was deleted from the car a week after I made it which was frustrating. Audio also failed to play a couple times until I did a full shutdown and restart of the vehicle. The big items are: suspension is a bit too firm in all modes with exception of N mode. Their is little room in the back seats and not enough storage space. When the car is loaded with passengers or luggage you can definitely feel the difference in its capabilities. The driving is very fun and engaging but I think the vehicle just needs a bit more power to be competitive and a little more room in the back would be nice. The rims and body styling look great but I think the wheels are too big for a good tire fit. The tires are so thin that they can’t help the suspension at all so little bumps feel huge especially in N mode.

Too much money for what you get

Many issues with this car. It looks great, its fast and turns quick with a great sound system. But, the transmission is so slow regarding reaction time, the car dings and beeps at you all the time when it shouldn't be (cars in your blind spots), the seat belt chime will drive you crazy if you take it off even 1 second before you stop.

Good car but new forced radio gui is useless.

Good car but forced radio gui is terrible. Dual clutch transmission can be a little unpredictable when pulling into traffic. New forced radio display font size is too small. Please bring back the "tube" radio display.

Too small

Love Hyundai, loved my Tucsons. This Kona is crowded and uncomfortable with minimal room for anything other than a couple of small people. I have to pull the front seats uncomfortably far up to accommodate a couple of carseats in the back. Going back to my Tucson

Bought brand new

Overall it’s an alright car. Paid a little bit more because of the car market but could have better performance specs. I bought the limited fully version which I had to pay more. Delivery was okay but could been a better car

Dealership has to take car back in for electrical issues

My car throws no error codes but the turbo does not come on and the car will not accelerate or up or down shift and it's unsafe to drive. Dealership drove the car while it was happening. But turn car off and back on it works normal until it decides to do it again. So my new car is in the shop because even though they have witnessed the issue first hand they still are being made to replicate it thervy causing the customer to just be in limbo.
