Perfect for me!

I have only driven Hyundai for 30 years and have loved them all. I replaced a Tucson that I was leasing with my Kona. I loved the Tucson but my lease was up and I decided as a retired person I didn’t need a vehicle that large. The Kona is absolutely perfect for me! Perfect size and even more features!

High Tech

I love my new Kona. I was attracted to it because of the dashboard, which is very high tech. (My previous OLD car did not have GPS, android auto, or Sirius radio.) This new Kona has all of these plus every safety alert I could possibly ask for. I love having the speed limit on my dash and the compass. The only thing it's missing is a hook for a handicap pass (I use a hair tie). Everyone loves the cyber gray color.

. I’m still learning how to use some of the features on the touch

I wish I got more information about my 2025 Kona. I have different features than older ones that they show about Kona, like videos in emails, even the Kona book.

Slow exclamation and communication.

I love so much about this car. My biggest complaint is it is slow to accelerate, to get on the freeway you have to push the RPMs to almost 4. Also there is slow response from the gas pedal to the engine. It seems like there is a lag between pushing the gas and the engine responding. Also noticed when I have it in cruise control, the speed varies up and down 3-5 phone from the mph selected. This vehicle is supposed to be able to tow upto 2866 lbs. I am hard pressed to believe it can tow even a couple hundred more lbs.

Safety feature

With all the safety that the Hyundai Kona has, I'm very disappointed that there's no audible backup signals. I have not owned a car in the last 20 years that has not had an audible signal for backup. Backup cameras are wonderful but I still miss that beep.

The overall performance meets expectation.

In my opinion, the fob should look and unlock the vehicle automatically. A power outlet in the trunk area would also be helpful.

Love this little SUV

Stylish & comfortable. Love the remote start via phone. So nice to enter a cool car on a very hot day. Great car on long trips. Great highway mileage. Wish they sold the hybrid version in the U.S. Gas mileage could be a little better & acceleration can be a little slow (only complaint) but overall its the best small SUV for a very fair price.

Poor service at Hyundai dealership

I don't like it and would not recommend it. Unable to adjust the drivers seat high enough without my knee hitting the steering column. I feel to low driving the car. The headrests are angled to forward pushing my head forward .
