So many great features, but two

I love to drive our Kona it is quick and responsive. It also flys. Passing someone at highway speed is a breeze. Corners very well too. THe road noise is horrific. The phone system is so slow to respond to voice commands.

2021 Hyundai Kona is 10/10

The 2021 Hyundai Kona is a very nice car. The style and design is so beautiful, spacious, a smooth ride. You can fit 5 passengers in the car, there’s cupholders in the front and back of the car. The trunk is a little small, but underneath there’s a spare tire with a tool kit to help with the spare tire. In the glove box, there are helpful books about the car.

1.5 turbo has terrible transmission problems

I have a Kona 1.5 turbo that has been in the shop for 2 months out of the one year I’ve owned it for the same problem. It seems Hyundai cannot get their clutch issues corrected so the problem still persists.

I love my 2021 Hyundai Kona.

This is my first brand new car purchase I ever made, before that all of my other vehicles were purchased used. I decided to purchase this vehicle for a few reasons. I traded in a Hyundai Elantra for this one. I had a great experience with the Elantra so I trusted Hyundai enough to purchase another one. The 2021 was the first year Hyundai introduced with the night edition. I fell in love with the appeal of the night edition over the other Kona editions. It seems like a little compact SUV, but I live in the Utah desert and this thing handles whatever terrain I challenge it with, without any after market upgrades or enhancements.

run smoothly

Excellent size for one or two person, could improve interior space for fury babies and quality of seat cover material. So far so good with this model, didnt like the fact the horn malfunction within the 60 I bought it and had to wait almost year for replacement.

My dream car!

I replaced a small sedan with this vehicle. I’m short so oncoming headlights were always in my eyes at night. I needed something that sat higher but got good gas mileage and would be easy to park. Bingo! The Kona was perfect in those categories. I got the Ultimate edition and it was worth every penny. I never knew what a heads up display was but how I love that thing! I am also loving the gas mileage in this time of raising gas prices. Self adjusting headlights! Automatic windshield wipers! The only drawback is that my friends want me to drive whenever we travel cause they all love my Kona

Hyundai Kona Night 2021

Kona night is compact and easy to drive especially for beginner and novice drivers. It's good car for 1 to 3 persons. Easy to clean. Though it may not have a bigger cabin space (back) but will surely fit 2 luggage

Sleek and stylish. Great vehicle.

After a lot of research and vehicle comparisons, it became apparent the Kona was the choice for all of my needs. Great lines, sleek design, lots of features, and best of all excellent fuel economy. Hyundai has really stepped up their game.

Decent looking transportation for a reasonable price but lacking in some areas

It has most of the bells and whistles but is lacking in the comfort and road noise areas. Also it has not been very reliable and I am only at 6500 miles. Rear diff exploded at 3900 miles and trans rebuilt at 6500

It's a meh

I had a Kona sport model before I traded to my present car. I was offered a trade for a new car and I thought it made sense but the car has not performed well as far as performance and comfort. It feels like a cheap car.i am disappointed.9

great car for this price point

Bought a 2021 Kona Ultimate for my daughter to replace her worn out Ford Explorer. I liked it so much, I bought a 2022 Kona Limited for myself. Perfomance is better than expected out of this little 1.6 turbo. Fuel mileage is great. Overall quality is excellent for this pricepoint.

Hyundai Kona 21

Great value for the $. Would buy it again and would recommend to others. Everything I wanted and was looking for in a new car. Minor complaints compared to other Hyundai cars, but best of what was available.

Small but reliable (unless its about the paint)

Car runs great, the sports option gives it the accelation needed was well worth the added money. Headlights work great, clear and far reaching but yet do not interfear with oncoming traffic. Foglights not great but better than not having them as there are many foggy days. Have has issues with the lane assist sensors, in that they stop working while driving at times. they come back on either after a few minute or when the car is restarted. Paint is an issue, have a few places wheere the paint has chipped off with not noticable impact damage. Has some scratches in the roof and hood as well and only after 5000 miles. Think the scratches came from an automatic carwash, but cannot be 100% sure. Seem like the clear coat on the pait is low quaility and will likely not last.

Kona review

In my opinion overall it’s a decent vehicle I purchased the SEL model in white. My complaints are the seats are manual adjust, all my SEL previous purchases were electric adjust. The seats are hard and rigid not comfortable at all for long distances and the cab noise on the highway is high which makes it difficult to hear your passengers when talking. The climate control is all analog which seems cheap in an SEL model. I would rather have less sensors and better accommodations up front.

Glad I picked a Kona!

It is hard to imagine that I could find a vehicle with more value for the money. It has performance , comfort and styling. It is a pleasure to drive and at the same time I feel very safe when I am driving it! It seems that my Kona is going to last me a lifetime but if not I can't imagine that would change to a different car!

Great overall experience

The Hyundai Kona Ultimate is by far the best vehicle I have driven to date. It is sporty, zippy, fun to drive, has a great sound system, and is really great on gas. Sometimes I forget it's only a mild hybrid. I generally average 34-36mpg on the highway going 70-75mph. It's advertised as only getting 32mpg on the highway (don't be so modest Hyundai!). I would recommend the vehicle to anyone who wishes to blend style and comfort with mobility and efficiency.
