lack of common equipment. ie. garage door opener, memory seat position

not as good as my 2019 and not as powerful engine for the heavier car. Slow start with engine whinnying.

great for the glass

i love the car great value, only problem is the transmission feels off and when i try to make a appointment they said they need the car for 72 hours to just diagnostic on the car. without a loaner car. so Hopefully the car dose not give out on me. because that is not what i should be thinking about in a new car.

My First Ever Hyundai

This is my first Hyundai and I’m loving it. I’ve driven various BMW’s for over the last decade but went for a test drive in a Kona and I was sold! The tech in this vehicle is more advanced by far. I love the drivability and all the additional features available such as the heated steering wheel, 360 degree surround view monitor, and the camera view when changing lanes.

Hyundai Kona’s are dangerous

I purchased a 2026 Hyundai Kona in September 2025. In April 2026, while parking, the vehicle malfunctioned. As I released the brake, the Kona unexpectedly accelerated, crossed the curb, and struck a building, resulting in a total loss. This incident has caused significant financial loss, as my insurer, Progressive, deemed me at fault. I have incurred substantial expenses replacing the vehicle and now face increased insurance premiums. I have contacted Parkway Hyundai and Hyundai Corporate, but neither they nor Progressive will investigate my claim.

We are quite satisfied with the vehicle.

Got used to our previous Kona‘s better gas mileage. It had the 1.6 L engine not the one we currently have.
