2025 Kona meets our reality

After an accident we chose to get a 2025 Kona instead of a Tucson - time for us to go one size down. We find the vehicle excellent for get around town - small scale transport and normal family outings. Things you have to get used too - no shift in the floorboard - it's in the column - awkward and when you order the vehicle or have bought a Hyundai before remember the features you like best - like power rear lift. To save money the company doesn't offer some standard features you expect - so make sure the package you get has everything you want.

Interesting New ar

It is an overall great car with just minor things I find should automatically come with a 2025 model car, but this is just my opinion.

I haven't gotten the title , it was sent to DMV

I like the car, I'm sorry I didn't leave the dealership after spending 3 hours haggling over the price. I feel I definitely overpaid for the vehicle so in essence I am paying for the 3 years of service and for the 5 years of towing and then some. It was by means a good purchase in that sense.

KONA AFTER A FEW MONTHS...

More positives than negatives overall, but it's funny how the little things make the biggest impact. The seat back is very stiff. Tried the lumbar thing in a kajillion positions - nope. Took a survey a month or so ago, several questions about windshield noise. Didn't notice it until after that question had been asked. Thought it was leaves stuck in the wipers. No. Not leaves. Some weird whistle-rattle. I got the car sight unseen after sitting in a 2026. I specifically asked about 'butt warming seats' and was assured that of course they would be there. They were such a treat when I first rented a Kona in 2019 and really missed that feature when I tried out a Venue for my next lease. They aren't in this Kona and it's a huge disappointment. Those (admittedly small) issues are the only things keeping me from considering buying this car outright after the lease is up. I don't like the 'rattle' in the windshield - I now feel afraid it's going to shatter. And now that it's gotten colder, this little 'luxury' of having a warm back and bum is not there. It especially ticks me off after it being assured. The car feels roomier than my last Kona lease, not sure if it is, but it feels that way. And, I was very happy to see a real shifter versus that weird button thing in the 2026.

Love my Kona

Perfect size for an old guy like me. Easy to drive and easy to park. Lots of room for a smaller car. Easy on gas and most of all, fun to drive.

Safest Vehicle

Extremely pleased with all the safety features included with this Kona. The back seat area is more comfortable and roomier than I would have thought. Enjoy the extras of fold down arm rest with drink holders, and separate air vents. The back area has plenty of room for luggage, etc.

2025 Kona

Font on descriptions on panel and steering wheel too small to see when needed during driving. It’s too easy to accidentally bump something on steering wheel. Not enough storage space inside between front seats.

Not impressed

The engine light came on suddenly after about 4 months since purchase. Making an appointment for a diagnostic takes forever and the car has to be left with them for the whole day. The brand has the warranty, but I am not impressed with the car or the service as of now.
