Extremely Disappointed in Convenience Package

Very disappointed that automatic lift gate is not considered a convenience. This is not my 1st Hyundai. However at 75 and being short an automatic lift gate is important to me. The roof racks on the other hand are worthless and useless to me!!!! I talked my husband into switching from Toyota to Hyundai and he purchased a Santa Cruz, and gave my previous Santa Fe to my grandson. Maybe I need to look at a different company!!

You don’t have to drive. I took road trip. The car drove itself.

I love the car.

Another Success Story From Hyundai!

This is our sixth or seventh Hyundai in the last 15 or so years. EVERY SINGLE vehicle has been problem-free, with each iteration better than the previous model. Started with an Elantra, moved up to the Sonata, then several Tucsons before venturing into the Kona. Styling, comfort, Engineering, performance.......they just keep getting better and better!

Great vehicle

I love this car, great mileage with power that i need. I was surprised by the MPG with the power i was getting. The inside is sleek and very nice looking and buttons are in great positions for when needed. Only thing i wish my Kona had was memory seats. Would be a great addition in my opinion.

The Kona is great! I love driving it!

The interior seats are really comfortable. I love the screen and how easy it is to navigate. The outside is beautiful. Easy to find in a parking lot.

Base Model Kona

It’s ok for a base model. Gets you where you need to go. There’s no added features to have you excited about. Overall I like the vehicle.

Best looking car on the road...BUT

Every time I see my Mirage Green Kona, I think it is one of the coolest looking cars on the road. The engine is sluggish with hard acceleration, and there seems to be an RPM problem because RPM's don't reduce back down quickly enough. I think it's the same engine that was in my '21 Kona, but it seems different to me. The ride is smooth and soft which I love because I hardly feel bumps in the road. However, it seems harder to control on the highway, which is concerning. I seemed to have better control with my '21 Kona.

I have 25 Kona, So many features to learn. Love the car though

a class of instruction would make the learning process much easier. Even a video that speaks slowly and clearly shows pertinent info. I tried to access the offered videos but it said time was expired. Tried Ed's Garage U-tube videos and he spoke to fast and to softly. When he used his finger to point to a feature, it was unclear which item he was pointing to. Should also also use a female voice. Also has stiff turning radius.
