New model feels older

This car is supposed to be super new but all its features are so much more limited. Its a larger car then the elentra which i had before and that car had more storage space on the inside as well as felt safer to drive due to the car doors locking and less of a demand of my android auto to be on. The car keys themselves have less options but are much more bulky for no reason- similar to the car overall.

Meet Esti!

I absolutely love my car! She has a lot of safety features which puts everyone at ease. She’s spacious and can still fit into the smaller parking spaces.

Reliable and Affordable

Compared to any other SUVs that are out there, Kona is probably the most reliable and affordable car. Has all the features that you need to drive comfortably including auto hold, mode change, adaptive cruise control with lane centering, etc. I wish I had gotten the one with sunroof, but it's fine (when I was buying it, it wasn't really a thing until much later). Overall, I think this car is near perfection, and that anyone who doesn't want to spend too much money on car but still wants to get a SUV must check this car out. Also, I love the futuristic design, makes your car look different from other ordinary boring cars. There's no doubt with the reliability of the car because I literally did a cross-country trip, driving 4400+ miles in 7 days from Virginia to California without having any problem (not even the minor one).

Good car

Braking not great. Rear tires jump sometimes on turns. As long as I don’t accelerate hard the ride is smooth

Easy to park in the city. A bit noisier in the cabin than the Tucson.

All in all, a great drive

Best Choice Made

Runs very smooth and handles like a dream! I find it quite funny when I'm sitting in my car after it's turned off, and I get a message that my car is unlocked...lol.

Perfect Size

The Kona is the perfect size vehicle- large enough to feel safe, nice capacity, roomy back seat, easy handling and yet small enough to give one extra room in the garage. The easy of handling and quick response are a definite plus. Add to that, the design and shape are very pleasing. The Perfect Car!!
