Small, but good.

My only gripe with the Lona version I have is that the trunk can only be opened manually despite the my key fob has a trunk button, and the rear seats do not go down all the way. While I am happy with this purchase, these would be things that I wish the dealer I worked with informed me of, or, was explicitly stated.

Big bang for the buck

The safety features, bells and whistles available in the Kona compared to others in the same price range blow the competition away. The body style is also very classy looking compared to others in its category.

Great & Fun Crossover

Great safety features. Overall very fun & comfortable drive. Hyundai value & quality for sure.The high marks on all of the web sites are well deserved. when the car is fully packed there is plenty of power. The gas mileage has been excellent for a crossover SUV in this class.

Bought for wife as second car. She likes most all aspects. Good vehicle for around town, rear is big enough for groceries, no golf clubs. Seats could be a little more comfortable for longer rides. Road noise is however much to loud

Small and Cute

Good pick up, easy on the gas, easy to maneuver in the city and on the open road. Not much rear leg room or trunk area. The interior noise level can use some tweaking. Need more standard safety features

I love my Kona! Purchased it for the safety features offered in the SEL model and the affordable price but I never knew it was so smart. I was surprised when I saw all the owners manuals that came with it, even a little overwhelmed but tried to read them the first few months and learned so much. My air bags know how powerful to react to a crash or even if they should go off at all. My fuel tank reacts if the car is stolen so it doesn't go anywhere. I can set my forward collision to a desired distance. My rear window wiper comes on when I back up in the rain and I could go on but you get the idea. Read your manuals and be surprised. I knew when I saw the great look of the Kona it was the car for me, who it was not only good looking but smart to. I love the music to your new commercials but glad to see that you're showing more than dogs enjoying the Hyundai line-up. Maybe the dogs should be parking the cars?

I love my Kona! Purchased it for the safety features offered in the SEL model and the affordable price but I never knew it was so smart. It came with several manuals which seemed overwhelming but after reading them it was well worth it. My air bags know how powerful they should deploy and even if they should deploy at all. If someone tries to steal my car the fuel tank stops the car from going anywhere. My forward collision assist can be set to my distance choice and these are only a few of many more. I knew I loved the looks of my Kona but to find out it was so smart too was an added bonus. I love the music of your new commercials but maybe the dogs should be parking the car in the next one.

Hot Little Kona

I have my 2019 SEL Red Kona a year now and love the car. I like how it handles, the styling of the outside all around and the interior dash. The Sirius radio is easy to navigate and use. The safety features are awesome. The care handles and responds well.

Love my Kona EV!

I've only had the car for about a month, but so far I love my Kona EV! The ride is quiet and smooth and I have had no problems adjusting to a pretty easy charging process. I am getting more miles on the charge than expected - so battery power has not been an issue. The pickup is much better than I would expect from a relatively small car - and though using the regenerative braking takes some getting used to - I now find that I really like it. The car looks and feels like a quality product costing much more than I paid. I am very happy that I took the leap into the world of electric vehicles - and so far, I could not be more satisfied with my Hyundai Kona EV!

Love my Kona

I was looking for a well designed, well engineered, excellent handling vehicle that's fun to drive. I found one. Since I've never owned a Hyundai before, I did hours of online research and talked with owners wherever I met them. I narrowed my search down to two manufacturers. The thing that tipped the scales for me was the Hyundai warranty. If they're willing to back their product with that outstanding warranty, I figured they have confidence that they're delivering an outstanding quality product.

Love my Kona

First vehicle purchase made on my own. Very happy with my choice. I researched heavily before purchase and it always went to top in my comparison. I researched Buick-Encore, Honda-CRV, Nissan-Rouge & Chevrolet-Trax

Not Happy

Rough ride. Frustration because over 65mph front end shakes/wobbly. Dealership said drive it a while to break in . They switched tires around. Same problem. Seems like something loose or out of alignment but they said everything looks find. They said since I have been complaining and its documented. If some happens later on. I had complained.

Ironman!

Love the styling, the size and features. For the price, think they should've added some amenities such as sunroof and steering wheel warmer. The colours make it a real Head-Turner! People stare at it whenever I am at a red light.

Love my Kona

I love my Kona. I wish there were a few changes. I loved that the passenger seat on the Tucson raised up and down. The Kona's doesn't on the passenger side. My passengers also wished that the Kona had heat in the back seats. When I'm transporting 3 others besides myself, the space is a bit tight for knees! OTHERWISE, I love it!!!! Great car. I want my next Hyundai to be an electric!!!

Out perorms expectations

The Kona is still impressing me, 8 months later! Most impressive is the fuel economy. I am easily averaging 8 miles a gallon better then my trade in. The technology and safety features blow my mind. It is easy to believe that driverless cars are closer then we think! Comfort features were well thought out and impactful. I know it's a little thing, but the leather steering wheel is great. I'm a little concerned about care of the plastic bumper components, but will figure that out. overall, no complaints!

KONA after 7500

My 2019 KONA SE has been a most welcome surprise. Performance is quicker than I anticipated the seating more comfortable, and the visibility excellent. However, The appearance of rattles in an inaccessible area, possibly in the dash, after such a short time (7500 mi) is disturbing. Particularly since I was told that If they had to take the dash out and if it was unwarrantable item It would cost me a dis-re-assembly costs. I thought that was uncalled for since this is a NEW car.

Love our AWD Kona Turbo

We looked at several other vehicles in the small SUV class including a couple of the prestige brands before purchasing the Hyundai Kona. In the end we chose the Kona dues to its excellent handling, good power, great amenities, comfort, and driving enjoyment. The fact that it was a truly excellent value was the icing on the cake and made it an easy purchase decision.

2019 Hyundai Kona

This vehicle is a compact, fun to drive and good on gas. Good if you do not have to put much in the cargo space. The passenger seat is not comfortable if traveling. I know people use their phones & playlists but I don't. Always enjoyed my cds & satellite radio. Drove it to Canada & realized how good it was on gas. Not the most comfortable after a while. Probably will go back to a Sonata or larger Suv but will stay with Hyundai if I get a better deal than this last time.

Nice but not perfect

i love it except they should have kept the GPS and a CD player in it. not everyone is driving in an urban setting dwith good wifi. no GPS & CD player radio goes dead a lot because the car is lower and the signal is not received as well as in my Tucson the rear window seems to collect a lot of dirt at its angle
