Love driving New Kona S

All is great so far, however, fuel tank is too small.

Better than Expected

My first SUV, I was apprehensive. Owned sporty coupes most of my life, this was a big change. Love the features and comforts. Although there are some features I miss, i.e, automatic mirrors and seat setting memory, I adapted and love the ride. What I wasn’t happy about is this vehicle came with a hitch or bike rack mount on it, which would have cost me 160.00 to remove. Not understanding why that would arbitrarily be put on a vehicle, and cost me to remove. Not many people, in my opinion, would have a need for that. So as of now, I feel that ruins the look of the vehicle but I refuse to pay to have it removed when I had no need for it. That was something that I noticed when I picked up the car, after the fact. Had I known that prior, I wouldn’t have made the deal unless that was removed.

For fans of: technology, efficiency, ergonomics, style, economy.

Given what I value (see title above) this new generation of Kona is my absolute top choice. I was already very satisfied with my Kia Soul, but wanted a touch more in size, more SUV-like in form, but got so much more! The drive train --engine/transmission-- is phenomenal, Hyundai has mastered the EVT technology, finally one I prefer over any automatic transmission configuration: it is crazy responsive and smooth, offering all the power I need with amazing economy. My 2 favorite qualities though are: (1) the interior, the view and 'feel' in the driver's seat. There isn't another car at any price that matches the interior aesthetic for my taste; and, (2) the amount, type and execution of technology. This was a plus in my Kia, but has been well-surpassed in so much attention to detail in functionality.

Wow

It took me a few months of looking and analyzing many different makes and models before narrowing it down between this and the Subaru Crosstrek. My Kona has a better warranty, better transmission, more comfortable and the interior is more aesthetically pleasing. The 1.6 L turbo has plenty of power. It is very smooth and quiet. Steering reacts quick and smooth. Steering wheel play is non existent. Speaking of quiet, road noise is very minimal. For a vehicle at this price point in today’s economy I could not be happier with my Kona Limited. I recommended this to my father. He stuck with Hyundai but got a Tucson instead for a little more room and the larger engine. Honestly you cannot go wrong with either vehicle.

Looks cool, feels like it was thrown together

Interior features aren't thought out well. My new 2025, is already having issues with inside air automatically switching on, now a sound ia coming from the back end of car, which I will have to take it on for.

I don’t like it

I don’t like it, and have less than 500 miles on it. I should have stuck with my Elantra.

Very good vehicle

The blind spot warning light on the mirror is not bright enough during the day. Can’t even see it light up. My 2021 vehicle blind spot on the mirror was much brighter and better. Need to fix this

Smooth Drive

I am very happy I got the Kona. I like the way it feels when I drive it. It has been two months since I got it. Gave up my Elantra, which I really miss. I am going used to my Kona. I love everything about the sun. Thanks!

A very easy to drive car

Considering this is my fourth Hyundai vehicle, I would say that I love these cars! My latest car is a cut above my last Kona as this is the nine series and has a few more features that make my driving experience pleasurable. I love my Bluelink service and feel much safer knowing that if ever there was a need to find me this service can provide that kind of information. I like my dealership as well everyone I come in contact with is very helpful and friendly as well.

Like the new 2025 design, love my exterior color, love all the new features and all that the interior panel offers but still getting used to them everyday. The size is perfect for a small SUV, easy & fun to drive.

Execllent vhicle and great value for money

This vehicle offers excellent value and delivers a luxurious interior feel that punches above its price point. I am particularly impressed with the electronics and the infotainment system - its truely top notch. The exterior styling is appealing, but there's room for improvement.

Pleasure To Drive

The Kona drives very well with excellent road feel. Engine and transmission are smooth and quiet. The instrument panel and touchscreen are not busy or overly technical which was important in our new vehicle search. So many features we have yet to explore.
