A really smooth ride

My wife suffers from chronic car sickness in most vehicles if she isn't the one driving. In the Kona she now asks me to drive almost every time we go out.

I think the name fits and love it.

I love my car and still can’t believe that it’s actually mine! Feels so luxurious but it’s affordable! I feel very safe with all the safety features and the interior is so sleek.

Outstanding subcompact SUV

I've owned my 2026 Kona SEL Sport FWD several weeks now and I'm super happy with the vehicle. The interior feels very spacious and modern and is better than any other subcompact SUV that I test-drove. The Kona is fun to drive and gets great gas mileage (it's rated 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, but I've been getting 41-42 mpg highway). The design of the instrument and infotainment panel is very nice as there are plenty of physical buttons for controlling the radio and temperature. The sporty design of the vehicle is also great.

Easy to Find

I love everything about my new KONA; it's just lacking in the low gears. Love the color and interior combo!

I like the vehicle, but It makes voom voom noise that all new cars shouldn't have no noise when starting to drive. The 1st car I test drive didn't have that sound. My mistake for not test driving this car.

With a few small improvements- could be perfect

Two electrical issues - 1. driver door unlock sensor is highly glitchy. Intermittent functioning. 2. Main Battery shorted/ failed in week 1 - car had to be towed.

4 months old & lovin' it.

With the turbo, the vehicle is unexpectedly quick. Handling is sporty, even in normal driving mode. Gas mileage is a bit less than 30MPG overall. Great sound system. very roomy back seat, comfortable for passengers. Small cargo area, but I knew that. Fully loaded with safety features. The smart cruise control is great, especially for stop and go, heavy traffic. The car drives itself!

Great vehicle loaded with features.

I was totally amazed at what a great car my Kona is. I like everything about it. The ride is incredibly smooth and quiet. And the gas mileage is better than I expected. At 60 MPH, I get around 44 MPG.
