Great Car

I love my new Hyundia Kona! I have had it for three months now and I do not have one complaint. It runs and drives exactly like I expected. Lots of features including lane assist and sport mode. It is comfortable for my daughter who is in a forward facing seat. I have had an infant seat in it and in the middle it was fine but it would not fit on one of the sides unless the front seats were moved completely forward (this would be very uncomfortable for anyone over 5 feet).

Kona

I love my Kona! It gets amazing gas mileage on the highway on long trips. It costs me no more in gas than my previous vehicle, also wonderful, a Mazda 3. To be so happy with my Kona after a Mazda 3 is saying a lot. Great for my dog, nice for groceries and gear. I love it.

Awesome purchase

I hate to admit how much I love my Hyundai Kona. I've been a Subaru driver for many years. I fell in love with the body of the Kona and then when I drove it, there was no looking back. The turbo engine gives this little gem all the power I need to clear the Colorado mountain passes without skipping a beat...literally. Although smaller then my former Subaru Crosstreck, there is plenty of head and leg room in the front and back seats for everyone to ride in comfort. The head up display is benefit to not needing to take your eyes off the road to see your speed or the next navigational turn. It's truly a joy to drive my Kona.

Fun - useful - and capable.

We love our new Kona. It's gone on several full-day trip drives already. Lots of different terrain, lots of weather conditions (no snow, yet, though, but plenty of heavy rains). We feel it's a great car for us.

2018 Kona

Purchased my Kona in May and absolutely love it. This is the first time I have come back to a brand. My previous car was as 2012 Elantra and I was very happy with it. The gas mileage was most important to me and I am glad to say the Kona is continuing the mileage expectations. I get around 40 mpg on the highway at 65 mph and average 35 with combined highway/city driving. Exactly what I was hoping for. The car has pep and the tech package I purchased gives me all the safety features I was looking for. This is the car for those looking for an SUV but with good mileage.

I love my Kona! It’s a comfortable, sporty looking compact SUV that’s a great size for me. Little leg room in the back seat but plenty for the grandkids. Handles well. Safety features Help in traffic!

This car is fabulous. Drives well and easily. The turns are good and acceleration is spot on. The size is great for getting into tight spaces. Drives easily. Has features I'm still getting familiar with.

Very satisfied

The interior noise level is high. The seats with low bolstering are very comfortable for older persons. The lower entry level is good for shorter people. A heated steering wheel for the northeast should be available in the lower trim levels.

2018 Hyundai Kona

I LOVE my new 2018 Hyundai Kona. It's got great style , I love the "CarPlay" feature. It has a small turning radius and rides wonderfully. Perhaps the most impressive thing is the great gas mileage. From my house to Plattsburgh and back on less than 2 tanks of gas!!!

2018 Hyundai Kona.

My wife loves the car and so does my daughter. I'm okay with the car but it lacks power. But it serves it's purpose nonetheless. It work fine for my wife and daughter but I'm a taller person and need my leg room but I can get over it. Has enough cargo space for the three (3) of us also. I like the safety features of the car also. We have not bought a new car since 2014 and were pleased with the added safety features. Overall, we love the car. Thank you.

The best value for the money. A true luxury for less; top in its class in safety and initial quality.

The best value for the money. A true luxury for less. Top in its class in safety and initial quality. I drove many vehicles before I bought the Kona and the latter was my nest choice. It drives like a sports car but provides the convenience of a CUV.

Kona

I love my Kona but one thing I would like is leather seats in all the models. The car drives very well. Extremely smooth on the highways and interstates. An excellent vehicle for road trips very comfortable to drive in.

KONA - fun to drive!

I bought a KONA in May 2018. So far, there have been no issues and I am actually getting better gas mileage that what it was rated for. The cargo space has been perfect even though it is much smaller than my previous vehicle. The hands free phone capability works well, however, the android auto feature does not seem to work well when traveling in eastern CT where phone service can be iffy. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and have recommended this vehicle to others who are in the research process of purchasing a vehicle. I'm hoping this car is as awesome in the snow as my other Hyundai was :)

Kona review

The Kona looks nice and gets excellant gas mileage on anything over a 30 mile drive. I have had 37.5 mpg on a long trip. I still get 24-26 in town. I just had my first oil change and was happy with it

2018 Kona limited

Great gas mileage very comfortable, and very responsive. Better than expected. More and more pleased every day. Can't wait for my next road trip with my new Kona. A real head Turner with all the convenience you want in a car at a great price.

the KONA

I think the HYUNDAI KONA is an EXCELLENT CHOICE for an EMPTTY NESTER. The ride is good with EXCELLENT HANDLING and GOOD FUEL ECONOMY. Interior fit and finish is excellent. Controls is right where you need them and REAR SIGHT LINES IS GOOD. Though a SUB-COMPACT, INTERIOR ROOM IS O.K IN THE REAR, BETTER UP FRONT.The optional 1.6 liter turbo IS A BETTER CHOICE than the 2.0 4 cyl in my opinion.

Fun and comfortable car

In my opinion the Hyundai Kona Limited is the leader of its class! I don't think my car compares well to the Mazda cx-3, Toyota CHR or Honda HRV. I do think it compares better in build quality to my friends Audi Q3 and another's BMW X1!!! The Kona is quite fast as well. No problem putting everybody in your rearview mirror :-) Most of my driving is city driving and this car is well suited for that. I have taken one road trip totaling 700+ miles and the car is quite confident and very comfortable on the freeway.

Changed from Toyota

Our Kona has proven to be more comfortable for my husband. He has back problems and finds these seats more comfortable and easier for him to get in and out of the vehicle, the Camry was lower. Love the Blind sport sensors and back up camera with alert warning. The only negative for me is the a/c vent, can’t point it away from me while I’m driving , don’t always like the air to blow directly on me. Easy to park and rides smooth.

Love my Kona!

Was looking for a small SUV and the Kona was the perfect choice! Seats fold down flat to allow for lots of room in the back. The gas milage is great in both the city and on the highway. And I just love the way it looks on both the outside and the in. Very stylish!
