2026 kona

overall a good vehicle for the price. the lane following can be a little agresive at times and a little slugish at others, will let it wander too close to outside bounderies of the lane.

Nice car for the money.

Economical with style. Not as nice as the Tucson but close.

Satisfied, but there's some oddities

I find it very strange that when we're having snow or ice, you can't bend the windshield wipers up because the hood comes too high. I also don't know how to un obstruct the front camera which sets off the yellow dash lights in my car every time it's foggy due to some type of an obstruction on the sensor.

Peter's Review

I could not give this vehicle a five star review for the following reasons 1- There nis a problem with the radio station settings not maintaining there settings when the vehicle is turned off. Upon start up one has to push the media tab to return the radio to get the previous settings before the vehicle was turned off. Hyundai service department is not aware of this problem therefore does not have a solution'

Great buy and fun to drive.

Great car overall for mini SUV. Driver's seat is not comfortable at times. Lacks adequate lower back support.

Car features good but lacks some power

Really have enjoyed driving and owning this car, but it does lack power that would be very helpful when on highway. Also, the tank does not last for long - tank lasts three to four days when last tank lasted at least a week.

Design flaws

Kono is awkward to enter and exit , wipers should be able to stand up, in the event of icy conditions rear hatch should have a larger (pimple) making it easier to find. Infotainment system is clunky, I do not need a greeting and confirmation sign in. Remote start with fob can be hit or miss. Arm rest is too small in front seat.

Great car but safety features take control too early

I love my 2026 Hyundai Kona. It drives well. There are many safety features but I have had to disable some of them. Often after making a turn, one of the safety features activates and I am unable to accelerate. Other times it thinks I am moving out of my lane and vibrates and tries to steer me back but I am usually trying to avoid hitting something, so I have disabled this. With some of the safety features off, the car functions extremely well and makes me happy.

Sleek and cost efficient

The 2026 Kona is visually pleasing, looks more expensive than it is. I wish it had a heated steering wheel and a sun roof but it’s overall a great little car.

Vehicle operates fine. I also had a 2020 Hyundai Kona. This one does not have heated seats which I would have liked.

For getting the limited ..I didn’t get smart home nor seat adjustment for each driver… no all weather mats…. No splash guards.. center console has nothing hidden…cup holders are way too wide to hold your drink..

Love My Kona SEL Premium

I decided to go with the Hyundai Kona after being sold on their vehicles with the purchase of my 2016 Hyundai Genesis. Needless to say, the Kona has not been a disappointment.
