A great little EV. Not much more to say. Minimum text counts are annoying and I resent them. So you’ve just gotten jibber for thr rest. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Great Commuter Car

Great compact car. Had a lot of power for sport mode. I was very surprised about the amount of power the car had in sport mode. I love the shape of the car. Sound quality of entertainment system is decent.

this car is driving very nicely and has surprised us with ranges.

We like the car's handling on the road, in the traffic and in garage and tight spaces. We dislike that headlights started going out and difficult to remove/replace before is even three years old. We wish the car had roof rack rails as we like to take the car on the trips and it is clearly not a very large car, so extra storage is needed. The interior, especially the floors and carpets are not easy to clean. We love the distinctive noise the car makes at slow speeds. We also enjoy the bluelink functionality. Couple problems with bluelink: 1. it very often takes long time to obtain car location and 2. it often misreports that the car is unlocked especially after charging is completed.

It’s was good waiting for it to be better

I like the idea of having buttons for the gear switch but I don’t think it was placed in the best, I also think if the charging port was in the side of the car rather in the front like normal gas cars.

Small but mighty

Kona EV: very efficient, good range, charges well. SE is pretty basic, missing heated steering wheel/backseats. Not comfortable for road trips. Good visibility, buttons (!) for climate, stereo, seats.

Great compact EV

The car has been very energy efficient and reliable. I typically achieve about 5.5 miles per KWH, which I am very pleased with. The cons is the car is very small and the rear seat really isn't big enough for three adults

Solid car that exceeds charging miles.

This car drives well, is comfortable and is safe. Charging is easy and much better than I anticipated—In the spring, summer and fall, miles per charge about 310 and range from 310 to 350 miles in the summer.

2023 Kona EV Great Little Car

This 2023 Kona has been a fantastic car. I have had it for a year now and it has been a true joy to drive. The acceleration is exceptional. At this point, I am averaging 4.7 miles per kilowatt hour...that means with the 65 kilowatt hour battery, I could get over 300 miles per charge. Given there are some free Level 2 charging stations quite near, I have been able to charge weekly so that I only need to charge one night a week and take care of the needed power for the week. A great deal overall and again, super quick and fun drive!

Great compact car that drives real smooth

This vehicle is fun to drive as it gets up to speed quicker than a gas powered car and maintains for a smooth ride. It's easy to charge at home and I've only ever charged it at home so far as I haven't left on any trips yet, but plan to soon, and saw that there are many EV charging stations all throughout the U.S. now. I love the light fabric interior to help keep it cooler in the interior in the summer months, but it also features climate control start via the Hyundai app. The tires and hubcaps look cool and the car's paint job is very smooth looking. The head lights and tail lights provide great visibility, and I love the heated seat functions when it's cold. The car turns easily as well and the brakes are excellent. So far in the year I've had it, I haven't had any issues with its functionality. The Bluetooth and Android Auto play work fine.

I’m really enjoying my Kona.

I’m finding the Kona a step up from my previous EV’s in workmanship, steadiness on the road, and range. Even in the winter with snow tires and occasional sub zero temperatures, The range is better than my previous EV’s.

Very happy with Kona EV

The car is small and basic, but drives nicely and has a very good charging range when set on "Eco" mode. It handles well and is very peppy and responsive. It is a great car for around-town trips. We've had no service or repair issues.

My experience buying the car was excellent. Great salesman being very helpful as it was the first time I bought a car by myself

I love the car, perfect size for me, and I enjoy driving it. I think it’s a sharp looking car. Enough with these surveys. I spent a lot of time doing them. Please, no more surveys. Take it or leave it.

Love my Kona

Safety features and high mpg, as well as comfort of driving make this car a winner. It also as good acceleration which makes my husband happy. The cruise control makes it easy to use my foot less and eases my arthritis. This is a bonus I did not expect.

Great little SUV

Good looking small SUV with very good features and charge range. Very nice to have a “Tesla” plug outlet, as well as the other industry standard. Very good acceleration and maneuverability, and overall design and quality finish.
