No comments to give at this time. You need to change this field should not be a minimum but a maximum. I really have to continue to write to get to 200 which is a waste of time. I do hope you review this field

Kona

Love the sleek style of Kona's. With all the features it is great value for your money. The drive is very comfortable, and you can't beat the gas performance. I have always been a Hyundai fan and can count on their reliability. So pleased!!!!!!!!!!!

Love my Kona`

The Kona is a great small SUV! Love the handling, LOVE the gas mileage. I love driving this car. It has ample space for two up front, back seat area is small but I never have anyone in the back seat. The storage in back is perfect for groceries, etc.

Love my Kona!

This little suv rocks. I have owned many suvs, the Hyundai Kona is the best. Not recommending if you have a family and need a lot of room in trunk. Cars seats could be tricky as well. Vacation for four would work if each of you have only one bag. Buy one if you are not chauffering other people around. This vehicle will not disappoint!

Decent vehicle

I leased the Kona after having a terrible time with my Ford Fiesta. The Kona so far after a year of leasing has been pretty good. Not any major issues have occurred. It is a bit slow to get started from a complete stop, but it’s not the worst car out there. It is limited on cargo space, a weeks worth of a groceries barely fits in the trunk space, but for me that’s ok. I would have to say overall it is a pretty good vehicle because it is reliable. However I am not purchasing it after my lease term is up because I really wanted a Subaru to begin with, but I didn’t have enough money at the time to purchase one. So for the money the Kona is a decent cheaper alternative to a Subaru, but I don’t believe the quality is quite as good.

New vehicle review

I have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle I would definitely purchase it again and recommend it to all of my friends the only problem that I have is that there is no remote start and even though I have emailed Hyundai directly I have yet to receive a email from them showing me how to do it through wireless network

Great car for the money

The Kona is a great small suv for the money, comes standard with many great features is well built and has a peppy engine that gets great gas milage.The cargo space is surprising for a small suv and the great warranty is 10 years / 100,000 miles.

Great ride

Besides being a great looking vehicle it drives smooth and easy. Has a great pick-up and powerful for a small vehicle. Very spacious and lots of cargo space. Enjoyable driving whether for business or pleasure

Economical and fun to drive.

The Hyundai Kona is a sharp looking utility vehicle that is economical and fun to drive. It has good handling and stability on turns and the power needed to get onto the expressway easily. I am blown away by the up-to-date tech and safety features. This is my first Hyundai and I love it!

My Hyundai

I am mostly pleased with the purchase of my Kona vehicle . I most pleased with the engine performance and gas mileage , the AWD performance was ok this past Winter ( the vehicle sits a bit too low for a big snowfall ) . I wish that it had better sound proofing as there is some road noise . My Kona is comfortable to sit in ( I'm 6'2") and handles well on turns . I like the sound system but was disappointed that my model does not come with the option of the premium audio system , which is very important for me since I am an audiophile . As far as the overall styling , the one thing that could be improved is the plastic trim on the outside of the vehicle , especially on the wheel wells , the plastic fades or becomes discolored and any scratches to it become very visible and noticeable . Like I mentioned before , I am happy with my Kona's performance overall and would recommend it to family and friends .

2018 Kona SEL with Tech package

We took the car on a trip to Virginia, 2500 miles round trip. The lane keep assist really took the strain out of driving 4 10-hour days. The amazing thing was the fuel economy, we averaged 32.2 mpg as computed dividing the gallons into the miles driven. This is an All Wheel Drive vehicle rated for 30 mpg on the highway and we got 32.2 mpg. This was while driving 75 mph on freeways. Wonderful vehicle. Last winter in the snow and ice it was amazing! We love the Kona.

Feedback

My name is Hector Hernandez and have been working in the automotive industry for more than 7 years, in analysis areas, quality and new launches... Having said so, this is my review. I have to say that Hyundai have met my expectations, so far my Kona has 5000 miles and only found 3 issues: 1) In the setup of temperature unit display, I always select Celcius instead of Farenheith, but for some reason after some start ups, the temperature unit always changes to Farenheith, this is a bug in the system which is annoying. 2) The screws that holds the entrance to the gas tank where the hose is inserted looks very cheap screws (home made) and not harmonic to the rest of the assembly. 3) The "manual shift" option available in the automatic transmision is not what I would expect, is very limited the interaction, I cannot go further than 1 shift up or down than my current shift. i.e: If I am driving in 4th shift I only can select either 5th or 3rd shift unless I increase or decrease the speed... Without be offensive but being objective, the VW triptronic is capable to do what I try to do in the Hyundai transmission. In general I am happy with the vehicle but would like to have a fix in the bug of the temperature unit issue. Thank you!

Kona¹

I like my Kona. I wish it had a bit more of a pick up to it though. The truck us pretty small, I would prefer it to be a little bit bigger though. I had no problem driving in the snow this past winter. I like my little car and it is a good looking vehicle.

Love it

It's a great car for the price. Catchy to the eye appeal. Comfortable features. I'm stopped all the time and asked how I like it. I love the color I chose exterior and interior. I asked for a few simple upgrades that set it apart. Roomy It's all around great!

Kona SEL with Technology Package

Bought this car for my wife to replace a 2008 Honda Civic. I wanted her to have a car with all the updated safety equipment that is safe and reliable in a small crossover format. The Hyundai Kona is the top rated vehicle in its class. We are both very pleased with it!
