Unhappy Kona Buyer

Overall, I am happy with my Kona. I do have a problem with the interior door panels. Shortly after I bought the vehicle I noticed a horizontal scratch on the part of the door panels that encases the window controls etc. I brought the vehicle to the Dealer who said they corrected the problems. However, the scratch has been reappeared over time and whatever they used to cover it up has left dark shadows on the entire panel. I am very unhappy with this and I had expected better from Hyundai. I feel as if I am stuck with a new vehicle that is defective. Additionally, the drive side door does not shut properly. I need to pull it shut 2-3 times before it engages.

An Underrated Beauty

I drive a limited and the car looks chic and futuristic, it looks like it should be more expensive than it is. The gas mileage could be better but the car takes regular so it balances out. I love the variety of features in my car, especially the 360 view, the blind spot cameras, the ambient lighting, the heated seats and steering wheel, and the different driving modes. The screen is also beautiful and clear and the design of the center console is fun to play around with due to the extra storage compartments and the cup holders that can be flipped around. I look forward to driving my car every day and I am very happy with my choice to lease a Kona!

All but the seat

I love my vehicle. It rides well and it's very spacious on the inside without taking up a lot of room on the outside. I can fit two great danes in the back when the seats are down. It gets great milage and I love the big screen on the dash. My only criticism is the seats. I'm a Chiropractic Physician and these seats are awful. There is zero lumbar support so I have to use a separate pillow. The headrest is too far forward...so it pushes your head forward which straightens the curve in your neck. So I have to recline back to make my neck stop hurting..and then my back hurts. Awful seats in an otherwise fabulous car.

Love my Kona

I recently purchased a 2026 Hyundai Kona SEL Premium AWD and it has met every expectation, it has a larger engine than my previous Kona, it is a bit larger than what I had before. It rides really nice, gets great gas mileage, and the interior is so classy.

Kona Fit my

I hate the make-believe gear selector. I am short and I have a hard time viewing the engine on/off tab. The steering column gets in the way. I need to have more seat height too - I can't see over the hood.

2026 Hyundai Kona

Overall this is a good vehicle. I traded in a 2023 Kona for 2026. Unfortunately you don't realize until you have a couple of days in the new vehicle what's your lacking in comparison to your last vehicle. I thought I had the basic before but I definitely have the basic now. Good car, not great features it seems like Hyundai game 3 years and went back 3 years in the features in this vehicle.
