Kona

Our Kona is a good little car with very few problems. It has plenty of pick-up & is easy to drive. Four adults can ride comfortably The gas mileage could be better (but we're use to driving a diesel)

I love it

I love my Kona! I get great gas mileage (28-30 in the city). It has tons of safety features that alert you when necessary. The back up camera is very clear. I love all the hands free features it has as well.

Hyundai Kona

For the most part, I am satisfied with my vehicle. Sometimes I do not like the way it drives when it has been raining outside. The brakes seems to grunt and do not brake properly. Also, the engine sometimes idle or feel like it is jumping.

I love my Kona

I was driving a Jeep Liberty for 14 years. The color came in orange. When I saw the Kona at the auto show in Raleigh I fell in love. I was also told that you have the kona in the color orange. That was one reason that I had to have it.

Love my Kona

It’s cute and sporty. It’s great on gas mileage. Handles great on turns. A little noisy sometimes during acceleration. Comfy driver’s seat. Very fun to drive. I have over 25000 miles in a year and have had no problems.

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned

I love my Kona. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I recommend the Kona and Hyundai to everyone. I love how it looks, drives and the safety features. I would buy it again. This is my second Hyundai and most likely will buy another one. I’ve compared it to similar vehicles and I wouldn’t trade it for any of them.

Love my Kona!

My Kona is ideal for me. I love the size, how peppy it is, the looks, and the safety features. I I’m a 72-year-old grandmother but dislike “old lady” cars. This definitely not one of those! It may not be as comfortable, but that doesn’t bother me.

Love my Kona EV!!!

Transitioned form a plug-in Hybrid to the all electric Kona and so glad I did. No range anxiety - range has been spot on and there's plenty of it on a full charge. All the bells and whistles and all the safety features for a very reasonable price,

Great Vehicle for my Needs

Good performance, great handling - good visibility, good features paired with Andriod Auto This is the best new vehicle that I have ever driven that is in my price range. Even though it is smaller than the Ford Escape that I looked at, the Kona feels much roomier and comfortable than the Escape. Also handles way better. Liked it so much we leased a seco0ndone for my wife!

Kona

Really love the car . Windshield cracks chips very easily, wish the windshield was more durable. Car has very small gas tank. Back up camera blurs easily if raining. Car drives well and is very responsive even in slick road conditions

Love my 2019 KONA

I wanted a small SUV and the KONA is a perfect size for me. It handles well, gets good gas mileage, and has all of the latest safety features. It is comfortable and the interior is really attractive and the controls are easy to operate.

Love it

I love, love my Kona. I previously has 3 Santa Fe's which I loved. But when I came to look at the 2019, I didn't like the remodel, it felt cramped. But while waiting there was a Lime Twist Kona sitting in the show room and I was hooked. I fell for the color, but love the vehicle it's self. That being said if you have kids or people riding in the back all the time, this is not the vehicle for you. Front seats are comfortable and it is roomy in the front. My 6'3" husband preferred it to the new Santa Fe. I love the handling, it will lay into a curve, but I still have ground clearance for adventuring. I have the Ultimate package and love the features, the heads up display is really handy, all the safety features, blind spot, cross traffic, etc. Excellent. It is much warmer/cooler than my Santa Fe was, it took me 30 minutes to get it to warm up in the cabin, not the Kona. It is great for in the city, maneuvers so nice. I have to say I do prefer the ultimate package with the Turbo, I have driven the lower end models and the seats are not as comfortable and they don't have the pick up. It was worth spending the extra money, every penny. I would say it would be nice if some of the other Hyundai CUV's had fun colors too, instead of the boring neutral palette, but that wouldn't have changed my mind. Mileage is much better than the Santa Fe. I'm not really knocking the Santa Fe, I had 3 of them from the first model year to 2019, they are great vehicles too, I just don't care for the new model. That being said, I love my Kona. It is so me, and fits my life and driving so well. It is hands down my favorite vehicle I have ever owned.

Sporty AWD Ride with Lots of Options

After test-driving almost every other vehicle in this class, I settled on the Kona because of the price compared to the options I would get. I got a 1.6 Turbo engine, with AWD, and around 27 mpg (my average for around-town driving) with all sorts of other convenience and safety features for THOUSANDS less than the counterparts. Some features I got on my Limited Hyundai aren't even offered by competitive brands (power driver's seat for example). In the regular drive mode, it's a fun little car to drive, but in Sport mode, it will MOVE! I highly encourage you to put this on your list of considerations.

I Love My Kona

I love my Kona. It's a great car. It looks good, rides well and is a pleasure to drive. While I haven't had a lot of chances to try out the all wheel drive, when I did get a chance, the car rode very well. The entertainment system works well too. All in all, a great car and Advantage Hyundai is a great dealership to purchase one from.

Lime Twist Kona

Other than being a fun car to drive, my Kona Ultimate Turbo turns heads with its unique Lime Twist color. I traded in my 2012 Veloster for this 2019 Kona because of all its safety features. I love the back up camera, the heads up screen, the large 8” monitor to view directions, etc. and all the various other features that are standard on the Ultimate model.

It okay

The price of the vehicle was pretty high for a 2 w drive vehicle and i be trading it off in the next year for a better vehicle and a 4 w drive this time around i think for a 2 w drive vehicle the price could have been a tot lower

Great little car

Sporty, fun to drive. Unique and sporty appearance. Standard equipment is good and the options on our car are great. Good value for the dollar. Will definitely consider another Hyundai when our lease is up.
