Love my new car

The 2026 Kona Limited is fun to drive. I feel very safe in this car. The only thing that I think is missing is memory on the seat settings. I wish it was tied to the key as it is a pain to have to reset it after my husband drive it.

Terrific sub compact SUV

The Limited edition has every convenience you’d expect. It’s well designed and executed.

Cute and comfortable

Nice car for a base model. Came with everything I needed. Gas mileage is amazing at 37 highway. There’s places to put things on the console and dash. Plenty of leg room in front and back. Headlights are so bright! Tech is all there. One complaint: no cup holders in back.

I love this model even better than my 2020 Kona!

I traded in my 2020 Kona reluctantly because my previous Hyundai Accent (2013) was such an exceptional car and, even with 70K on it, I knew I would be doing a lot of long distance driving and wanted a bigger car. Since I am retiring shortly and even though I had about 35,000 miles on it (including a 5K road trip), I wanted to start my next chapter with a new car. I stayed with the Kona because it's just the right perfect size for me. The 2026 model is much bigger than the 2020 model so I can fit my growing grandchildren easily. The latest technology is great and the gas mileage - WOW! 30mpg on the highway and 26mpg driving locally! Several of my relatives like the car and are considering going with Hyundai as their next purchase. My brother-in-law already bought the Tucson. I will always stay with Hyundai should I ever trade this one in.

Love 90%

I love my 2026 Kona in almost every way! I think there is a lot of Road Noise inside while on the Highway and the Driver’s Seat could use more comfort for long travel times. Be aware you DO NOT receive a spare tire in this vehicle. That was NOT explained to me during the purchase. I bought the Premium Package and there are some Simple add-ones that you don’t get, one being Auto Hatch and Auto Side Mirror closure. I love the look of the Kona and I also really love all the Safety Features and take full advantage of them.

Love the smaller SUV

I didn't need a large SVU so I went with the Kona. Perfect size if you don't want a huge hulking-beast of a ride.

Hyundai Kona

Kona is great. Nice ride and decent gas mileage. I really like the mobile App for controlling car. The only thing I don’t like is that there are no numeric numbers on any or the interior temperature controls. You have to feel and guess on temperature comfort.
