2026 Kona

I love this car....It is the right size for a family of two. I get32 t0 45 miles. It is comfortable . The only complaint I have is the cruise controls.I can not and I do not miss anythingfigure them out. I have gone back to the salesman and he patiently explains it to me but in traffic it does not make sense. It is a stripped down model and I do not miss anything.

Speedometer is in an odd place along with being slightly taller

Decent vehicle but an odd size. Not a small SUV and the slightly higher seat level makes it less easy to slide in and out if having a leg or hip problem.

Small SUV with all the features

I wanted a all wheel drive small SUV that could handle the Colorado winters. What lead me to the Kona was the fact that it had 360 view useful for parking and highway driving. I looked at Hyundai Kona, Buick Encore GX and Subaru Crosstrek. They all had similar but slightly different features. I liked the Kona best. I have had two adults in the back seat and they were very comfortable. I plan to keep this car for quite a few years so color also factored into my decision. I am happy with the denim blue with black interior.

The Kona is a great Vehicle

I’m on my second Kona. No problems with either vehicle. Easy to use and understand. Comfortable ride. Decent on gas. No real complaints at all about Hyundai.

A giant SURPRISE in a compact car!

I love the 2026 KONA SEL PREMIUM. Designed impeccably. Engineered impeccably. Rendered nearly perfectly. I have the light green, white M-Tex interior. I’m 6’3” tall and I have to move the seat forward! Plenty of headroom too. Seats are comfortable and sturdy. All other amenities are on point and rendered well. I’d only add proximity locking or unlocking would be a nice amenity to have. I get far better mileage that the sticker said. I drive like a grandpa, because I’m a Grandpa. It’s quiet for a small car and the 1.6l turbo is quite peppy. I got my wife a new Santa Fe Hybrid and it’s phenomenal too. The Hyundai experience is exponentially better than the Honda Pilot experience. The warranty is exceptional and industry leading. I love our Hyundais!!!!

Great car with nice features but bad mic

The vehicle is very nice with the classic grey color and the features in this car is amazing but the cons is the mic in the car needs a update. The mic has horrible sound quality when speaking with someone, there is static.

Fairfax Kona

I purchased the Kona after driving a Toyota Avalon for 15 years. I was surprised about the amount of interior space. The acceleration is decent, but doesn't compare to the capabilities of the 6 cylinder Avalon. The electronics have improved immensely since 2010. Within two months of owning the car, the alternator failed and a fuse "blew". It took nearly a week to get the part delivered and installed at the dealership. I am concerned that a week later, we received a blue link notification that the battery was low raising my concerns about the alternator again. We will see.

hated this car

Hated this car, not easy to get in or out of. Felt very unsafe in this car. The dealership bought this car back, paid off the loan but did not give me consideration for th$14,000. cash I put down. I now am leasing a Tucson. I did not want to lease but felt I had no choice because they would not compensate me for the cash I put down on the Kona. I also had to put down an additional deposit for the new vehicle.
