Sharp looks, great drivability, sagging technology

The 2022 Hyundai Kona is a sharp looking vehicle. The front end glossy split grill looks appealing and high end. The angular lights provide some edgy character that hits all the right marks. The side moldings and rear bumper use a flat separate coloring that aren't as appealing and boarder on looking cheap. Driving response hit high marks in multiple areas as well. The brakes, steering wheel responsiveness, and turning radius are all tight. This is a good thing. The 1.6L turbo engine gives plenty of acceleration off the line and at higher speeds for passing. The three driving modes, and pseudo manual shifting, provide speedy fun as well as a gas sipping a conservative option. The transmissions shifts are appropriate as they are solid and sure without slippage, and aren't hard like sportier cars would have. The gas mileage exceeded my expectation and hit the high end for me on the highway and city driving. The inside is roomier than expected and provides solid comfort for 4 with effective armrests in the front and back. The front passengers have plenty of head, shoulder, and leg room. A few misfires are the passenger seat (it sits significantly lower than the driver seat that can be adjusted) and the front center counsel does interfere with leg room from a width perspective. If you want to fit a third passenger in the back, they better be on the kid sized spectrum however. The interior build quality is solid, but there is a lot of hard plastic. The driver power seat provides a ton of comfort and utilitarian options, and coupled with the tilt and telescopic steering wheel, can accommodate many different body types. The easy folding back seats also provide additional storage capacity. The trunk space is smaller than others I tested in the compact SUV category, but to be honest, I don't see the Kona as an SUV. It is more reminiscent of a car/hatchback/wagon in my opinion, but I don't make the car definitions used these days, I just drive them. The trunk floor has 2 height levels to provide extra interior cabin space, but I prefer the added space under the floor to store small things with the spare tire like jumper cables, shopping bags, and a spare set of clothes. The technology was the most confounding part of the Kona experience. The safety features for backup camera, blind spot detection, and lane assist are fantastic. The upgraded sound is amazing, as is the 10" infotainment screen. However, that upgraded screen eliminated wireless Android Auto and requires a wired connection to use it. Adding the wired connection eliminated the proper sizing to lay your phone in the provided charging area. Using Android Auto becomes way to fiddly, and using the Hyundai built in map app is inferior to Google maps. Delayed responsiveness from the touch screen is annoying on many levels, and this coupled with the Hyundai map app make for a miserable experience. Being my first "smart car" I didn't think the responsiveness and "fiddliness" would be a big deal. I was wrong. It matters greatly considering everyone has a phone these days, and you need to be able to integrate a phone properly in your car if you want to have the best experience. To worsen that integration, the wireless pad stopped working for me within 3 days. The vehicle had to be taken in for service, and this is a well known issue on the Kona. The connectedness of the Kona is a big issue needing refinement, and resulted in my rating lowering by a star. No car is perfect, but the Kona is close. With some technology tweaks, it will be that much better. Regardless of its flaws, I am pleased to have made this purchase.

I enjoy driving kona my car. It

It is fun to drive. I think I save some gas despite high horse power. My car is powerful enough to speed up. Though small in sizes, it has high performance equipped with many technical devices. It looks very charming and smart.

Love this little suv

I enjoy driving the Kona, it’s a quick little number in a pretty package. I used to have a bigger suv with less safety features, this one suits my family and myself and gets us around safely. Nice drive and the added safety is a big bonus.

2022 Hyundai Kona AWD N Line

Fun and exciting to drive. Excellent quality and workmanship. This is my 3rd Hyundai and I plan to purchase more in the future. Only complaint was light road noise probably due to the factory tires that were provided.

great car

The car with the warranty and gas mileage along with the performance of a non turbo 4-cylinder engine is quite impressive even on major interstates with the cruise control set with only a 5mph+/- drop in speed on long inclines and the ride is good with almost no exterior road noise even with the radio off which in my judgement the car is well built and engineered with only a tweak here and there to be perfect right? A good car overall!

Worth the wait

Love this car. I waited for 3 months for them to locate a white Kona and they pulled thru for me. So worth the wait! I’m still trying to figure out some of the details. So I may have to stop back in and talk to my sales girl

I have been very pleased with this vehicle being just what I need. Size,performance,styling,and gas mileage fit my needs perfectly in a very good looking package. After one year of driving my Kona I am still very pleased and excited to drive it more and more.

I have the only lemon

Very Disappointed! Brand new 2022 Hyundai Kona. I've had transmission errors from the beginning. Each time an error message displays there's a problem. Each repair time has progressed, last time it took 3 weeks.

Kona: Best Car I Have Owned

Small car has plenty of room and great style. The Kona is very reliable and fun to drive. I like sitting up higher than most small cars. It is comfortable to drive for long trips. It is also a good car for commuting to work.

Hyundai's are the best vehicle for price and performance. I drive round trip 60 miles a day, 5 days a week. This was an excellent purchase for my lifestyle. I highly recommend a Hyundai for travel and commute.

This vehicle is comfortable & fun to drive. The safety features are generally very helpful except for the irritating frequency of certain prompts. The infotainment system links well with my iPhone & the sound system is very good. Overall, a very nice ride.

Love this little compact car. Turbo is super fun. I love the look of the car from the outside, really sharp looking. Love the interior with the red stitching, really makes the inside look good. The rims really fit the car as well.

Technical issues

I’ve had my car for over a year. Loved it from the moment I looked at it. Now I’m having serious issues with my CarPlay randomly disconnecting, my charging pad not working, and my phone not even charging when it’s plugged it (I’ve tried multiple cables). My car will randomly jerk me to the left lane when I was perfectly in the lane not over any lines. The bad aspects of the car are starting to outweigh the good aspects of the car.

The vehicle is good, with good gas mileage, but there is to much electronic items on it. I will never use this stuff.

This vehicle could have been made better for me if it had a lot less electronics and in a more simple manner. It would have cost less to produce and the savings could have been pasted on the the buyer.

2022 Kona N line

The car has been great. I get great gas mileage and I enjoy driving it. The car is very comfortable but the sound system is lacking. The new type of transmission is a little weird and hard to get used to but after a while you’ll get used to it and it’s not that bad. Overall I like the car and would recommend to someone looking for a small SUV with great gas mileage.

This is a great subcompact SUV.

The car is awesome. I get great gas mileage with a comfortable and stylish ride. I traded my car in because it was getting hard for me to get in and out of a car lower to the ground. My Kona is a perfect fit for me.

Wonderful Experience with Hyundai

The Hyundai dealer and dealership worked alongside me in a personable, helpful, and efficent way to help me find the car I loved. I had a great experience with the dealer and dealership, and I would highly encourage you to work with them for your car purchasing journey.

My new Kona

I am very pleased with this car. I have not driven far, as I’m a retired senior, but have enjoyed it and had no problems. The gas mileage is amazing! Still driving on the dealer’s tank. Have not used a lot of the bells and whistles, but everything seems to be working as presented.
