2018 Hyundai Kona

The Hyundai Kona is an affordable, dependable, sporty, comfortable, front wheel drive mini SUV with excellent gas mileage. It's compact size makes it fun to drive and ideal for outmaneuvering city traffic and squeezing into tight parking spots while leaving more room in your garage. Great performance from a 4 cylinder standard 2.0L Atkinson Cycle engine that brings a balance of power and fuel efficiency and a choice of driving modes. You rock to an AWESOME AM/FM/FM HD/SiriusXM Satellite Radio/Bluetooth Link/MP3 Player stereo system that features a front dash AUX IN jack, USB Port and 7" LCD touchscreen. The front seats are heated for Winter driving, has a leather wrapped steering wheel (with cruise and stereo controls) and shift knob, illuminated visor vanity mirrors, power door locks and windows, a large storage compartment and glove box, a sunglasses holder, dual in dash 12-volt DC power outlets, dual drink cup holders, automatic on/off projector headlights and features an easy to use interior temperature control system. You have lots of rear storage because the spare tire is mounted under the cargo floor and there is a bonus hidden cargo-area storage compartment. A backup camera automatically shows the rear view on the LCD screen, with clarity and night vision, when you shift into reverse. There is also radar, on backing up, that alerts you to moving cars and pedestrians which has helped me many times backing out while parked between cars! The rear view is also improved with defogging and a rear window wiper. The dash tells you how many miles you can expect to have left on your tank of gas, outdoor temperature, the distance of your trip, calculated average mileage and alerts you when its time for maintenance appointments. The driver is also assisted by the option of blind-spot collision warning with rear cross traffic collision warning and lane change assist and automatic tire pressure monitoring system with individual tire indicators. There is a choice of available accessories that you can add to enhance your KONA too.

Great price for the car.

The Kona is a great SUV for the value. I enjoy driving it and all the ammenties i have in the vehicle. The great thing about the heated seats are not just in the drivers seat but also in the passengers side as well. I use my heated seats on those cold days.

love the Kona

This small car / Suv / crossover was not what I was looking for but I love it! Great on gas and so easy to turn. It has the space of a suv and the smooth driving of a car. Also it is unique looking and it was the first year it is out.

Like the Kona

The Kona is a great combo of small vehicle economy & SUV cargo room. It handles nicely & has a lot of excellent features standard. The warranty makes it a safe investment. The dealership is easy to work with.

I love my Kona.

I love everything about my new Kona. The purchasing process was a great experience and that feeling continues every time I get in my Kona. Even my husband, who has been a die-hard Honda enthusiast for years, now says his next car will be another Kona. We are both so impressed with its ride and handling. And it is just so cute. I wouldn't change a thing.

Why we're very satisified , so far , with our Kona

We have had the Kona for only six months, and we're still trying to figure out all of the electronics features. Otherwise, it's such an easy car to drive and more comfortable than we ever imagined it would be It's getting close to 30 MPG ...hopefully that will improve in the coming years.

Magnificent car just for me!

I am thrilled with my Kona and have had people stop me in parking lots to ask questions about it, i.e. How do you like it? Where did you get it? I even had a lady sit in it, turn it on and get her comfy in the drivers seat! That said I’m always glad to give my car a recommendation that is honest and heartfelt. So glad I chose my Kona, it’s fun to drive and perfect for me!

Favorite Car!

I was debating between a Tuscan and a Kona, and after test driving the Kona, I fell in love with it! I purchased an SEL AWD and the car handles snow like a champ. This little crossover has more than enough room in the front, but the back is a little right if you’re tall. Sport mode packs a serious punch and the gas mileage is is amazing at 29 MPG City.

Love my Kuh, kuh, kuh Kona!

Very sporty and love the zip it has. Only thing missing is the remote start! It drives well and I've had great response from it in the winter weather. When I first saw it, I thought it was SO CUTE...and now that I've had it for almost six months, I still think it's SO CUTE!!

Very Pleased - Fun to Drive, Great on Gas!

I enjoy my Kona Limited. I've had it for a little over two months and I think it's a pretty cool car. It has great acceleration and it's not bad on gas. My dissatisfaction is with the back seat size and the cargo ("trunk") area. I wished they would have just added about four more inches of legroom to the rear seat area. I also haven't figured out the cargo space. When I put items in the cargo area, I can hear the items shift back and forth as I am driving. I am thinking that I don't have the cargo net set up correctly but it is sure a pain. I also think it's too small to be considered an SUV.

New Hyundai Kona

To put this in context, I have owned two Hyundai Sonatas in the past. I traded the first Sonata for another Sonata and the second for the new Kona. I like the style of the Kona, especially the way the black trim contrasts with the white paint. I have had had several people stop and ask me about the car, as they had not seen it before. The trunk is much smaller than the Sonata, but my wife has a crossover so I can use that if I need more capacity. I average about 2 mpg less than with the Sonata, which is exactly what the sticker shows. My only complaint about the Kona is that it has a much smaller gas tank. I could routinely drive the Sonata 500 miles between fill-ups, where I can only get about 300 with the Kona. I drive 86 miles per day round trip to work, mostly highway miles, just so you can use that information when you make a decision.

Cute Ute does Plano, Texas

My new 2018 Kona is marvelous and performs even better. Wonderful 30+ mpg. My Kona gets admiring glances everywhere. People cone up to me and ask about how the Ute performs. I rave about handling and the interior dashboard lighting!
