Small SUV , reasonably priced

Leased this 2018 car on a 10,000 mile, 3 year lease, because we wanted to try an SUV , on a smaller frame. I traded in a 2016 Sonata. I made the mistake of not checking the rear seat capacity and the storage in the back -BIG mistake. It is very small. Compared to the Sonata I feel it drives like a truck-not a very smooth ride and engine noise is very loud in the cabin. I do not feel that I would purchase another SUV based on this experience without further research.

To limited to choose options.

Vehicle is like a small compact suv, not the middle size vehicle for a new family. Good commuting vehicle, two people only. Trunk space with seats up is small, With two people, sometimes the food does not fit that we buy, have to use seat area. Do not drive it much, but mpg seem good, 27 city at best, and 37 highway. Have not made long trips yet. Cruise control does drift almost 5 mph depending on hills. Have the SEL model, and would have paid for other options, but not available by car model ! Being forced to buy a turbo engine for more options is down right criminal ! Overall car is good, but dealership is a worse experience. Sales person was Great ! Rest of dealership destroyed my faith and trust.

2018 Kona Review

Nice Car for the money - rear compartment could be bigger. Ride is smooth, mpg is reasonable, road noise is a bit loud if rear seats are down. Responsive and sufficient power. Nice car for my daily commute

I LOVE MY KONA

It's very comfortable and handles really well. Love all the options in the Ultimate package too! The heated seats warm up fast, has great acceleration and handling. The safety features are hard to beat!

Sleek and Fun

Best looking of the compact SUV's the paint choices are amazing and the interior is the new look. A little hard plastic would add some luxury but for the value this car is hard to beat. Receive compliments all the time. My thunder gray paint has a deep glitter to it which stands out. Great style, Great value and Great warranty..the best in industry

Awesome Small SUV

Wasn't expecting to buy this car since it didn't exist when I did my research. Fun to drive, all wheel drive, lots of safety features on base model, fuel efficient, quiet ride, stylish and all at a very low base price. Check it out - especially if you're considering the overpriced Mazda CX-5 or completely gutless Honda HRV.

KONA lover!

I can't say enough about this lit'l Kona ... what a great car with 'enough' of everything for the price. If I was to trade in, I would trade for a KONA again. I'm one satisfied customer! Zero complaints!

hyundai kona

This particular model just came out in 2018, so I was one of the only ones to buy the lemon twist. Including a sunroof heated seats, leather with lime twist piping, built in CarPlay with my iPhone. We finally drove it to tahoe and what a beautiful car. It is turbo so putting on the sports button climbing those hills in yosemite and south tahoe was an absolute breeze. It doesn't jump like other climbing gears. It is so smooth and I might add Only one fill up (just because) on our 7 and 1/2 hour drive to tahoe. I compare this to my infinity fx35 as the horse power is the same, no chugging up hills and so wonderfully comfortable to drive, The gas is awesome. We were able to order from uhaul the hitch for carrying our bikes (being new it took a bit) but well worth the wait. We attached our bike hitch on the back and off we went. I really cannot say enough about the car barely having it almost a year. Good work on the design and model guys. Keep it up

2018 Hyndai Kona

I love my 2018 Hyndai Kona. It is just right for me and easy to take care of. It just fits me because I am short. I love to drive my Kona. I don't know what else to say, but it is one of my most favorite vehicles I have ever owned.

Love my KONO

Great little car and a lot of fun to drive! This car is good for someone who has challenges getting out of lower cars. It offers the height of an SUV without the large size. It does well in bad weather and holds the road.

Kona Rocks!

We really like our Hyundai Kona CUV. The style is sweet. The red paint is beautiful. It has a bit of a sparkle to it. It drives great. The turning ratio is very appreciated. The only draw back worth mentioning is the interior noise while driving. On all but newly paved roads it is very load. On the highway you have to turn the sound of whatever you are listening to way up to hear it.

Kona

Pleased with the overall car. It is easy to get in and out of even for short people. The seats are comfortable and allows the driver good views when driving. The service department is courteous and keeps you on information while your car is being worked on.

Kona’s

My Kona is with beautiful blue colored car which is most unique car in the city. It’s compact which consumes less gas and can drive very smoothly wherever you want to go. It’s not too expensive to buy.

what a car

I can't believe all the high-tech gadgetry that comes with this car. I have driven it for a year and am still finding safety and convenience features that make driving the car very fun. It gets great mileage and handles really well in snow and rain. I plan to order the electric version since I love it so much.

Great choice

Body style is awesome, lots of leg room, love the way it connects with my phone and displays the directions. Easy to enter and exit. Very comfortable and easy to clean. Just the right style and comfort for me.

KONA

GREAT CAR.I LOVE THE SIZE. IT IS EASY TO PARK AND MANUEVER THROUGH PARKING LOTS. IT HAS GREAT POWER IN THE MOUNTAINS AND NEVER SLOWED DOWN IN THE HILLS AND A CLIMB TO 10,000 FEET ON DIRT ROADS. HANDLES GREAT IN BAD WEATHER ON SNOW AND RAIN. I LOVE IT.

2018 Kona

This is a first time lease for me. I traded in my 2011 Tuscon and am leading a Kona. I absolutely love it! It is the perfect size for me, although the smaller trunk took a bit to get use to, it is sporty and fun to drive. It gets great gas mileage and the all wheel is awesome. The back seats are roomy and comfortable, I highly recommend the Kona.

Excellent value for the money

I've owned my 2018 Kona Ultimate for over a year. Very pleased. The typical Hyundai high quality. Lots of bells of whistles at a very good price. I really like the unique look of the vehicle with the split headlight and taillight arrangement.
