The car is everything I would hope it would have been. I drive 80 miles each way to and from work. In 8 months I have 30000 miles on the vehicle. Service and maintenance have been easy, it has been a pleasure to own

Size Matters

Good: The ride is fantastic- quick straight line acceleration is unlike any gas powered equivalent. Thee is some tire slippage under certain conditions. The battery range is overall great but the reported range of over 300 mi is deceptive, since it will decrease by at least 25 mi when you are using battery-draining systems (AC, heat) and makes planning long trips sometimes difficult. With the tax credit, the Kona is affordable EV driving. Bad: Cramped interior. I am 6 ft 3 in and have very little headroom clearance in the Limited (sunroof) trim. And the rear seat for adults is nonexistent.

After car wash anti-collision stay on at least 10 min. Take it to patriotic Hyundai can not fix the problem first time. Have to wait few day for quilfty tech to show up and try to diagnose the problem. And of course the answer is going to be no problem found. Second time light came back on while driving under the rain. set appointment and ask to make sure the tech was there. And i took my vehicle to the dealer tech did show up and nobody informed me or let me know to change the appointment. Very disappointed.Now have to wait 3 week for the tech to come back try to report the problem to Hyundai no answer. I don't think i will buy another Hyundai again.

50k mile update! no issues so far. range is still the same. no motor / gear reduce noises. 12v battery dead replaced under warranty. over 10k miles ive averaged 4.3 miles per kwh. i would get a model y if given the choice now but at the time it was the best ev deal between on lot / 4500 off msrp, 7500 tax credit, 3k back finance and 1% apr.
