Great value

Great value for features offered. Customer service and communication from manufacturer is superior. General driver experience has been very good especially in winter weather. This vehicle meets all my needs.

good car

Wanted to reduce the size of my vehicle in our garage as the tucson when opening the rear hatch would be in the way of the garage door. The Kona allows me to park in our garage close the garage door and open the tailgate to work on whatever i need to get out of the rear area. Sort of a simplistic reason but I need access to the rear often ergo it works for me

The Kona is a great buy.

Rides great. Handles great. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a reliable automobile. It is priced very reasonably. The only thing that I am disappointed about is that it is very noisy when the window is open.

Low confidence vehicle quality

Poor paint quality, chips easily. Because of this, I am afraid to have it washed at an automatic car wash, that means I have to always hand wash it so I can prolong the paint. Also, can’t drive it anywhere where there is small gravel or dust. That means I can’t utilize the AWD and have fun with the my Vehicle that I waited so long to have. Now, just found out that there is a Dangerous pressed paper fiber undercarriage dust cover that would potentially create a safety hazard! It could tear off and get caught in the wheels or come off and hit someone else’s car, causing them to have a an accident. Plastic parts of the interior scratch easily. I am basing my comparison from two other past Hyundai’s I owned, they both seemed to be great quality. I am now questioning the quality of everything else on the Kona. I am only waiting to get rid of it, I am so sad.

2023 Hyundai Kona SE

Easy to drive and park. Good sight lines. Good value for the price. Having difficulty with keyless entry working with replacement key fob. No solution for this issue after 4 months. Otherwise, we have had no issues with the SUV.

2023 Kona

I bought this car new, trading in my Toyota Carola. It drives nice and the driving sensers are nice to have. It has more power than the Carola, witch I really like. However, it doesn't have allot of power, it's just better than the Carola. It has 15,000 miles on it now and the check engine light came on say that there's a transmission issue. I took it to the dealer, but the light went out on it's own and the dealer said that they couldn't do anything unless the light was still on. I don't like that...

Cute and awesome!

I purchased the 23 Kona for my wife. I had been asking her for years what kind of car she liked. Finally she said a Kona. The salesman listened to our list of preferred features and located the exact car we wanted at another lot. The car was transferred to our nearby dealer and we took delivery. Best car buying experience ever. The all wheel drive is very impressive. It works seamlessly. The car handles like a sports car. I can start it with my phone to heat or cool the interior. It has an amazing number of features for not a huge price and the best warranty in the industry. I would absolutely buy another Hyundai.

First purchase with Hyundai. This vehicle was poorly manufactured. Fails quality checks

I experienced three major issues the first within month 1. The last has been ongoing for 9 months. The dealership is unable to fix the fuel issue. This vehicle has major difficulty filling gas. The nozzle clicks off consistently without the tank being full.

23 kona

It's been reliable and comfortable so far. Low fatigue factor on longer drives in my opinion. That should suffice but I have reach a minimum number of characters so, ramble on ramble on ramble on ramble.

Great family crossover

Is your teen begging you for their first car? Do you want to head to the beach this weekend?! Well then this is just what you need! You and your family will save at the pump. Use your savings to buy more road snacks.

Servicing Vehicle

When I purchase this vehicle it included general servicing, i.e. oil change. At the time of purchase, I thought it was really a great feature. Well it’s not! Reason being that thousands of Hyundai owners have the same feature so getting a appoint for servicing is ridiculous.

I like the car it got good gas mileage, but once it started with the windshield wipers not working the headlights not coming on and the air Or the defroster not working, left me stranded several times sometimes at home sometimes out during the day but when it’s stranded me at 11 o’clock one night I was ready for to be over over it

I did not like the fact that when it started happening that they told me it was not an emergency that they could not get my car in for five weeks but yet I had no other car and it was not reliable enough for me to do anything or go anywhere I asked them for a courtesy car and they said they didn’t have any

Great ride!

The Kona is one of the smoothest and quiet rides I have had the opportunity to enjoy. The only issue I have had is connect to the Bluelink. The sound system is very nice. Love the spatial sound. Wound recommend the ‘23 model.

Information to be passed on.

I replaced the car after an accident that totaled my other car. The new Elantra's have that funny bar by the passenger side that would not work for me. I chose the Kona instead. Overall I have enjoyed the car.
