Disappointed

This is my second Kona.I LOVED the 2024…but really surprised and disappointed that this model does not have automatic seat adjustments.I blame my salesman for not bringing that to my attention! I NEVER would have taken this car.Aside from that I do like everything else.

Lots of technology, sometimes a bit too much

Overall quality is excellent. The display and controls are pretty complicated to operate and program.

2026

I leased a 2024 Hyundai Kona Limited, and I absolutely loved it. It came with so many premium features, including LED headlights, and turn signal . Front and back. Digital Key, built-in GPS navigation, and other conveniences that made it feel like a truly well-equipped vehicle. I recently purchased a 2026 Hyundai Kona Limited, expecting it to be an upgrade. Instead, it feels like a downgrade. I was very disappointed to discover that it has halogen headlights instead of LED headlights, no Digital Key, and no built-in GPS navigation. You're expected to rely on Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for navigation, which isn't always convenient. It's hard to understand why features that were standard on my 2024 Limited were removed from the 2026 Limited, especially considering the amount of money I spent. I expected newer technology and improvements, not fewer features. Overall, I feel the 2024 Kona Limited was a much better value. If I had known these features were no longer included, I would have kept my leased 2024 instead of purchasing the 2026. I honestly wish I could return the 2026 and get my 2024 Kona Limited back.

Love my car!

I love my car. The only problem I had was my AppleCar play not wanting to connect once since I’ve had it and it works great now. I love that it vibrates my steering wheel and makes an alerting noise whenever someone/something is behind me. I love that it shows me how much air is in all of my tires. I love all of my cars features on it.

2nd try at a Kona

Previous vehicle had some problems. Sunroof didn’t work properly, sometimes vehicle wouldn’t start. So far these have not appeared.

Sport SEL Kona, 2026

One of the best small SUVS on the market today. Design, interior comfort, two twelve inch screens, fun to drive, intuitive software with good responsiveness. Best value for the money.

Almost perfect

I love how easy it is to get in & out for myself & my passengers. That and the AWD was the main reason I bought this redesign of the Kona. The only thing I wish is that it would make rear air vents standard for the lowest level trim level . This is because I bought it for the 4 doors and better ride height and AWD . I wish it didn't have an issue with the AC not working occasionally but that seems to have been fixed by an over the air update.
