Love the car but it would be nice to have seat memory button

my car was bought brand new. I absolutely love the color inside and out. The technology is amazing and it’s a really smooth drive. I just wish like I’ve stated before it has seat memory option that will make it so much easier if someone has to drive it and they have to move my seats around

Smaller SUV but fun to drive. Would have benefited from some more space, feels crowded at times if more than 2 people are in the vehicle.

Great

I love this car. It has some good features for being a simpler model. I dislike that there is no open trunk button on the key. I also dislike that there is no car charger. I do love the automatic CarPlay and available phone features to start the car and turn on the air.

2025 Hyundai Kona limited

Good car, awesome stereo sound. Cooled seats not up to par. A.c. needs to blow colder. The turbo 1.6 does the job, however it's lagging with the weight of the vehicle. Hum drum take+offs. It definitely needs the 2.0 turbo or a hybrid 50 HP electric motor combo for around 250 HP. And way more torque for taking off. And how about a 9 or 10 speed tranny upgrade? Or an extreme performance model etc. extreme instant heat soak and loss of power on this turbo vehicle. Especially in hot weather. Steering wheel is too thin and not sporty. It's very reliable. Lots of bells and whistles. Put the driving lights back on even though you say they are not needed anymore.

Just one, I hope minor issue

So I love my 2025 Kona, there is one small issue, which I think is known. My dash including my maps goes dark sometimes in the day time, it is annoying, especially if I am using maps. Will take it in soon!! Otherwise, this car is everything I wanted it to be! Margaret Dos Santos

My Kona

I've had my Kona about 3 months now. I only driven about 700 miles. I like the car, but I don't love it as I did my 2020 Kona. It is a little heavier car. I can feel it when I shut the doors. And that's a good thing. I do not like at all, that the metal of the underbelly shows above the tires. It looks unfinished to me as though someone forgot to spray paint it black. I have looked at all other SUV models of all different cars and all are painted black.

Kona 2025

I came from a Santa Fe so although I like the car, it’s a little small. My sister has the Ford escape which I thought was the same but it’s much room or inside.

2025 Kona

Great vehicle. Our first Hyundai. Gas mileage, performance, looks, features: all positives, so far. Gear ratio is admittedly very short; shifts through them too quickly in my estimation. Everyone who rides in it makes comments about how nice it is. Even from the back seat. We may upgrade to a 6 cylinder next time.

Nice car, but has a couple problems

Bought my 2025 Kona back in July. Since I’ve owned it, I’ve had a few issues. The first one was the air flaps not working for the AC unit which the dealership fixed right away. I am currently dealing with an issue where the car doesn’t start correctly, but Hyundai is trying to help me get it fixed. Also, the infotainment screen is peeling. Hopefully I can get to the bottom of the issues. outside of these issues, it drives well

The whole package.

I was in the need for a compact 4WD. I couldn’t have dreamt this car up if I tried. It is more than what I imagined. Smooth, fast, and Higgs the road. The features are awesome! I’ve driven out of state a few times now and it has never been easier. I also love how I can hook up any cell phone to it and don’t have to keep pairing it.

Not my favorite

Car is beautiful but bigger than I'm comfortable with and doesn't get very good gas mileage. I really liked my Venue but the seat belt snapped when I was in an accident and I didn't feel comfortable getting another one. I really loved the Venue.
