Kona Electric

Don't have to buy gas, great performance, nice features. If you drive it a lot or often, you will need to plug it in often. The supplied charger charges at a very low capacity, but it will work until you can buy a faster one ($400-$700) With a better charger you will need an electrician to install a 220V outlet near your your vehicle. Also, if you plan on making a LONG trip, You may still need a fossil burning vehicle. Only time will tell concerning reliability.

Kona EV is all around GREAT!

The Kona EV is one of the best ways to help eliminate our dependency on fossil fuel. I wanted a car for urban transportation, and the Kona EV accomplishes this wonderfully, with no emissions and has a range of about 300 miles. This car is right sized, very comfortable, and very nicely styled. If you’re looking at another EV, do your research and you’ll likely end up with a Hyundai Motor Group vehicle.

The gold

Kona 2020 is very easy to drive, safe and comfortable. I would like that the next years production to have additional features such as air conditioning at the back seats and the mirror to self adjust when we backup. My best decision for 2020!

Best EV on the market today. More are needed in Colorado!

in the EV world, the Kona is stylish, comfortable and fun to drive. The regenerative braking is a bonus. Display is intuitive. HUD makes monitoring speed safe & easy. Controls illumination are impossible to see in daylight. Overall the Kona EV is the best car I have owned.

2020 Kona EV - long range, more affordable, front wheel drive and lots of fun.

I care about our climate and was determined to buy an all electric car. But, I live in a rural place and need the kind of range that was only available from a luxury mark. The Kona EV caught my attention with the outstanding range. I had my eye on a much more expensive electric brand, but when I compared features, warranty, availability, for the body type I need, I found Hyundai had put a lot of thought into this offering. I got everything I wanted in an all electric car for a lot less money, and my local dealer had every trim level and lots of colors to choose out of inventory. I didn't have to pay extra to get the color i wanted. The available tax credits did influence my decision to buy, but now that I've been driving the Kona EV for a while, I just think its the better buy.

Excellent EV

The Kona EV checks nearly every box for a great car: comfort, build quality, features, and appearance. The fact that it's an EV elevates it even further. If you've never driven an EV, you should; the driving experience is very different from conventional cars - much smoother, typically much faster, and a lot more fun. The Kona is not an exception to this. I look forward to finding reasons to drive this car.

Love this car!

I don't actually love cars, but this Kona EV? It continues to impress and surprise me in really good ways. It's so smart! The charge lasts a long time, the ride is dreamy, the sound system divine. I feel very confident that this EV is well thought out, designed and engineered. Couldn't be happier!

Great efficient vehicle and great for our environment.

Excellent value for a vehicle that meets all your needs for comfort, safety and helping the environment. A test response should be a minimum of 200 characters which is ridiculous so I am adding this to meet those requirements

Good solid EV

I leased this EV because the EV technology is progressing so fast that I didn't want to commit long time and try newer technologies in coming years. I am very satisfied with its performance except interior road noise. It is not bad but it can be better. In summary, this is a good solid, fun to drive, good range EV with given pricing.

Great Vehicle!

Hyundai was my 3rd choice as I was doing research. I was looking for a PHEV (Rav4 Prime & Ford Escape). Those two brands struggled to meet my needs or price point. I took a look at the Kona EV and with dealer price and rebates, this vehicle was the most affordable of the 3 and BONUS, it full electric! My dealership experience was the best I have ever had and I have owned many new cars. I love the Kona and knowing that they have the best warranty in the business, treat their customers with respect, I will be a return customer. Terry O

Hyundai Kona

Mostly positive. Would require front warning signal when approaching barrier when parking. And would like auto trunk lift and closure. Front panel for navigation, radio, etc is confusing and hard to get used to.

The Electric People's Car, and a Blast To Drive Too

It's relatively affordable, fun to drive, stylish (if you ignore the side view), and its an electric car that gives you Tesla range for about 25% less. My first experience with a Hyundai product left me impressed, coming from Hondas, Toyotas and Infinitis. Konas are generally well built, and minus the things that could break in a gas engine, the car should be bulletproof.

2020 Hyundai Kona Electric Ultimate

The Kona Ultimate is an excellent EV, one of the best available. The efficiency of the drivetrain is way above expectations. The interior, while not luxurious, it is feature rich and very comfortable, with an amazing sound system The US market is missing some features available in other places such as roof rails, heat pump and passenger side electrical adjustable seats. While it's on the small side and some see that as a negative it is a big positive for me as I didn't want a large car like the Model 3 or e-Niro. There is lots of wheel spin even with traction control due to the high torque of the electric motor. Overall it's a top notch EV in the US market and well worth purchasing/leasing.

Excellent performing car for the money. I have very little to complain about. Interior may be a little plastic looking around the dash, but wouldn’t want to pay more for an upgrade to the dash appearance

2020 Kona EV

Excellent design inside and out. Superior handling, robust acceleration in all 3 modes but a rubber burner in sport mode! EV range of 300 miles makes long road trips possible on routes with access to rapid charge stations. A winner in the compact crossover EV market!

Met all my expectations. Love the car and expect many years of satisfaction. Considered buying a Tesla Model3 but was unable to test drive. Now I'm very glad I bought the Kona as I don't really like the looks of the Tesla.

Nice fast smooth.

I like the SUV. Lots of features on the highest price model. It does look like every other SUV out there. In fact they look so close the all seem to be the same style. If tax credit / rebate goes away then I would just buy a Tesla since they would be pretty close in price. But with the tax savings it is a very good deal. I did want a Tesla Model Y but did not want to risk the first year possible problems with the Tesla. My girlfriend will have this in about 8 months. I t a nice SUV please don't get me wrong and it works and drives very well. I do like it.

Love it so far

Installed a level 2 charger at home and it's been super convenient to "fill up". My Kona has the Homelink rearview mirror mean there are several button and I can program one for my garage door opener. These buttons are not powered when the car is off. This is less than convenient but I understand why it is a security feature. ...imagine if your car were parked in your driveway and somebody got into your car and was able to open you garage door. As a many decade driver of gasoline engine cars, I always open the garage door before starting my car, and turn off my car before closing the door. Makes sense right? I get that carbon monoxide poisoning is not a problem with the Kona EV! But, having to power the car to open or close my garage door is just a pain. To me, the simple solution is to have the Homelink buttons powered whenever the smart key is inside the vehicle. Heck they can have the headlights on for 15 or so seconds after the car is off, why not the Homelink buttons too? ...this would be a distant second choice for functionality. Hyundai - Please make this a software update!!!!! Please!!! There is a continuous beep when the car is in reverse. It is VERY loud and annoying. Every other car I've had with this "feature" has had some method of disabling the beep through software switches. I can't find how to do this on a 2020 Kona EV. Hyundai- Please make this a owner controllable feature with software. I would be happy if I could even adjust the volume. The Kona needs a few more storage compartments in the front cabin. There is an entire door panel worth of space not being used. The console/armrest storage could use a removable divider and/or a shelf with removable tray. Other than the above, I'm loving the Kona EV so far. I've had better than expected range and the torque for acceleration is incredible!

Best electric car

Great range per charge, style and design is perfect for a small family. Color choice is better than other models. I love the pick up and high quality sound. Interior noise is unnoticeable and blue link is great tool for remote starting in any weather.

In order to process my survey you are forcing me to fill-in this space when I really don't have anything to say. If you want feedback from Hyundai owners then I suggest it is better to treat them as adults.
