generally a good vehicle - my second KONA

has been a reliable vehicle; no problems until a week or so of sub zero temperature; had to have it jumped twice - then found out from dealership the battery had a bad cell - was replaced. A few days later - same problem - had to have it jumped; back t dealer and they charged it up and said there was nothing wrong. Two weeks have passed now and no problems; the dearlership response was essentially NOTHING after the third time. response: should be okay now.

I’ve had my car for a year now.. I’m pretty happy with it.

It’s a nice car, smooth ride. I think that an improvement could be made in the heater that you point your feet because it does not work. It blows out cold air.. Everything else is great primarily.

Great Car, Great Pickup

This is the second Kona I leased. It has handles the road, has amazing pick up and I like the color and styling of it. I like that they make the trunk a little bigger and I really like the new color. I never thought I would have a green car but the color really caught my eye.

Not what i expected

For the price its not worth it. I hate how the rpms rev up and down. The car system is horrible. The speakers are very low quality and the sound is low.

Orange Kona

My only complaint is the lack of an automatic hatch opener button and the car could use more powet.

Comfortable and safety views

Despite below average gas mileage and essentially no “pick up”, it is a comfortable drive and the multiple view cameras aide in safety.

Kona SEL 2025

Good car, reliable if you want a high end technology interior for a decent price and are on a budget. Will last for a while if taken care of well. Got an overall medium “ok” score for how much future maintenance it may need regarding engine and parts.

Super Solid Compact SUV that Drives Bigger

My Kona has been a wonder. Excellent power without even using the Sport mode. Great gas mileage of 30-35 mpg on highway. The interior is designed to provide great head and legroom especially for a smaller SUV. The 12.3 inch display has great brightness and correctly accepts touch-taps everytime. The navigation is best ever with two and three turns shown at all times - this is indispensable to ensure you are in the correct lane after a turn. The paint is great also (mine is grey and it shines up great). I also feel the AWD is very helpful on wet and dry roads. I can keep up with 80 mph traffic with no shimmy - plain solid little verhicle - love it.
