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.

😍Love it

I love the tech, and the ease of using the app. I haven’t mastered the WiFi yet, but I will. It travels well and holds my stuff. The ride is better than my Kona 2 leases ago. Just got back from GA- highway mileage ok, LOCAL MILEAGE STINKS. And why do I pull a lever to open my gas compartment? With My Tucson I just pushed on the cover. You can’t do that everywhere? I like the sunroof, and the light color interior. The shift by wire took 2 seconds to get used to - the paddle shifters took a bit longer, but work great. The big screen is fabulous! Love the lighting, both inside and outside. It’s cool looking going down the road, too!
