Love my car

We are a Hyundai family. Three of our four grown daughters own the same Kona that we have. Our fourth daughter owns a Santa Fe.

Very safe and easy to drive and great on gas

Great car, great on gas and alot of safety features! The only thing that I don't like is it doesn't have any compartments for things like my sunglasses, or a console in the middle to put others things into

The Hyundai Kona is definitely a car

This is my second Kona, I had a 2022 SE model and now I have a 2025 SEL Convinence. Overall. Its very nice. The car has everything that a new car should have. The interior is nice. The seats are comfortable enough for most drives under 4 hours. I'm 6' 2" and I fit better in the 2025 vs my last Kona. The interior is built with nice feeling materials. I did have a scratch on my dash from the factory that I cant do anything about. Now, do not let the next few things I have to say detract too much from the overall experience. The transmission is bleh... the car moves and thats all that really matters but its a CVT transmission and it just feels boring and annoying to drive. The automatic cruise control and lane keep assist need some serious attention. Multiple times the automatic cruise control has hit the brakes when going up a hill thinking there was a car in front of me. With little knowledge of how the systems in the car communicate I feel this could be fixed by using the built in camera to detect if there really is a car infront or not. Overall Im happy. I have a nice new car that will last me a long time. It just has some annoyances that should be looked at.

The Kona has been a great car thus far.

I’m very pleased with my 2025 Kona Limited AWD.

It's ok. For some reason it doesn't feel smooth like other new cars.

2023 Tucson stock version felt better when driving. For some reason the kona being a smaller car feels heavier than the tucson. Usually new cars feel smooth on the road but the Kona doesn't, I have try many new cars and this isn't the most comfortable I liked the outside looks and that's why I decided to get it but our 2023 Tucson was cheaper and more confortable with more space.

Love the look…wish it was peppier!

I love the look of the redesigned Kona. I wish it had memory seat adjustment, was peppier from the stop position, and it didn’t shift up as early as it does as the engine then seems muddled until you get going faster. I use the downshift paddle frequently.

My 3rd & best Hyundai

Aside from a funny thumping noise when I brake to a stop, my 3rd Hyundai is great. I wanted AWD without paying a fortune and it was the last Kona on the lot so it was obviously meant for me to purchase.

Fine, but an incredibly bumpy ride with some carryover annoyances.

New lease; it’s a super bumpy ride. You feel every rock - even on a flat road - and the engine shakes the entire chassis even when barely going 20-30 mph. I took it in for service and they used an entire a weekend to tell me nothing was wrong.
