Very pleased

I am very pleased with this vehicle. Handles well, range is as predicted, if not better, super pleasant driving experience. Just struggling a bit with temperature control.

couldn't be happier with our Kona EV

The Kona replaces a plug-in Prius hybrid. We were a little nervous at first, as this is our first EV, but by the time we drove home from the dealer it was clear it was the right choice. The UI is leaps and bounds the best interface we have experienced. Comfortable for four, excellent range, just the right size for us. Really no complaints.

EVerlasting Love

I have been researching EVs for the last years and I am very happy with my new Kona. It satisfies all of my and my family's needs. I personally think Hyundai is making some of the best EVs in the market today.

Built in maps very hard to use. Poor color choices make it unreadable.

My ELECTRIC KONA

My 2022 Hybrid Tucson turned three years old with 11,000 miles. I decide to take a look at the Electric Kona. I found out that the dealership/Hyundai was extending the $7,500 off the price of the vehicle on June 1. I bought it on May 31, 2025, making it affordable and considering that Trump was ending the EV rebates.

Fast and fun

This car is fast and fun unfortunately it doesn’t give very many miles to the charge so it’s not something you could take on a long trip without having to stop multiple times. Also, the cruise control will randomly stop and slow your car down very fast so you have to pay attention. You also need to get used to the breaking system as this car is extremely heavy Overall, I’d give it a seven.

Great car. some improvements would be good

This is a good car but an automatic tail gate should be standard on all models. Short people can’t reach the top easily to close it. A spare tire should be included not a kit. Seat adjustments on all models should be automatic.

My First EV

Extremely satisfied with my Kona EV. Its comfortable and quiet, and it gets me to work every day. Its my daily commuter car, so I only need to charge it once a week, routinely get 325+ miles per charge, and have reduced the cost to "fill the tank" by 75% over an ICE compact SUV. I love being able to control my energy efficiency by using heated/ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, and adjustable regen braking. In the first 4000mi, I've gotten 33% better "fuel economy" than the car's rating. This car fits my need, and is exceeding my expectations.

Much easier to acclimate to than a Tesla, but corp support is lacking

It's like driving a regular car, which I wanted. And so far I have been able to charge it using the included 110V charger at home. When I looked into using charging stations I was dismayed to discover that I could not find documentation about the type of charge port connector it has (e.g., J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO, NACS). I knew that NACS means Tesla, and their stations are far more available than any other. And therein lies another problem. Despite Hyundai having given away NACS adapters up until the end of January 2025, when you try to buy one -- crickets. The dealers don't stock them, they tell you to contact Hyundai, who apparently has no support line, endless loop. Corporate sorely needs to catch up with the fact that they're selling these cars to consumers!

A great EV!

I think the styling is an improvement over my 2021 Kona, and the interior space is larger.

LOVE MY NEW 2025 HYUNDAI ELECTRIC-KONA!

I had no idea I would "fall in love" with my electric Kona Hyundai as much as I have! It is a dream to drive! I charge it at home and oh the money it saves me on gas! I am a true believer in this car!

Good value, efficient, and more responsive than expected

While it doesn't have as much power as the more expensive EVs, it has plenty of power for all of my driving. Press the pedal and it goes - best if your front wheels are straight. Its smaller than the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV I had before but there's only been a few days I missed the extra cargo space, and it's much more responsive and smoother and quieter. I charge exclusively at home, usually once a week overnight. I get 4.7-4.9 miles/kwh - mostly driving around the suburbs at 30-45 mph. The one highway trip of 120 miles at 65-70 mph was about 4.2 miles/kwh. The only features that the Kona SEL is lacking that some might miss are the lack of a rear cargo hatch release from the cockpit - it's manual from the cargo hatch - and the lack of a built in garage door opener.

Wonderful in most ways.

Wish there was automatic trunk open and close button. Wish the car had come with an appropriate phone charger for.my phone. Needed that many crucial times. They told me to buy one. Bought the wrong one.

My Fun Car

I purchased this vehicle because, as I approached age 80, I was hating driving. I still hate driving but I love driving this car. So much fun.

The best ev available in the US

First off, I wanted the Inster, but it's not available in the US. The Kona is a lot bigger, but it's only a tiny bit less efficient. Great car.
