The 2018 Hyundai Kona is a must have for budget concious, style seeking and overall performance buyers. I have mine for about 4 weeks now and the smoothride and the perfect height to get out of the vehicle ( not to low ...not to high) reaffirms my decision to go with this vehicle. I have the SEL version which includes Sirius radio and a bunch of safety features. I can recommend this vehicle without any reservation!

I traded in my Elantra for the Kona and it is a lot more comfortable to drive, its not too big but also not too small it really is the perfect size. I like all of the features of the Kona except for trying to open the back, the elantra (as well as many other models) allow you to open the back from inside the vehicle and also on the key. With the Kona you can only open it if you are standing in the back and lift it open, its annoying to me because I have to put stuff down to lift it open instead of pushing a button and having it lift automatically.

That the 2.0 engine is adequate in normal mode and very sporty and quick in sport mode. I am also getting better mileage than listed. I drove the Mazda CX3 and the Honda HRV and the Kona was the car I chose . Fun styling, huge value and one of the best cars I have driven. Most cars on the road are monochromatic = Black, White or silver. I opted for the blue body and the Charcoal top. This color really pops and exemplifies the great lines of the vehicle. Driving on the highway in a spring winter storm the aerodynamics of the body cut through the 35 MPH WINDS and the 3 inches of snow. I highly recommend the Kona, great 5 year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty! 100,000 on the drivetrain! So DON'T beware of this 1st year vehicle!! Grab one!
Kona Power!

My husband and I started looking at the new 2018 Hyundai Kona on line. We had owned a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe for years and were very happy with the low cost of maintenance and dependability. So, when we decided to trade in the Santa Fe for a new vehicle it was a no brainer. But, we also wanted to check out other small SUVs to compare deals and the quality along with performance. OMG, we drove so many and visited so many dealerships! The Ford Eco Sport not only was tiny, it was very uncomfortable and felt so cheap. Especially for the price. Plastic every where. I felt as if I were driving a toy. Next, we drove the GMC Terrain. Again, felt cheap, uncomfortable and the price was staggering! Then the Chevy Equinox. I actually enjoyed the ride, it was comfy, but, not economical. With gas prices the way they are, you need economical! The Honda CR-V felt tiny. The Honda pricing was difficult to swallow. So, moving on. We kept thinking about the Hyundai Kona and decided to check it out. We feel in love immediately! We are not small people, and there are three of us including our 6’ 3” large teenage son. All three of us fit comfortably! I was shocked to say the least. From the outside the Kona looks small. But, it is definitely large on the inside! The Kona is an absolute blast to drive. Fast, OMG! I love the Sport driving mode. We pass other vehicles on the freeway with ease! The gas tank is only 12 gallons, but, the fuel economy is awesome! We get close to 400 miles per tank and that includes city stop & go driving! The instrumentation is very well thought out and easy for anyone sitting in either front seats to reach and operate. I love the big touch screen panel! The system picks up every one of our Bluetooth phones. Operating the entertainment, climate controls, phone, everything is easy! We chose the base model and got it for a steel! The dealership gave us everything we wanted and more. This Hyundai Kona takes corners like it is on rails! Steering is smooth and responsive. Breaking is perfect. I can’t say enough about the Kona! We are so very happy with it and would not trade it back! Thank you Hyundai for designing and small SUV that packs a serious punch!

1200 miles in, I like pretty much everything about this car. I opted for the 1.6 turbo and it's a speedy little bottlerocket. Very tight handling. I'm used to feeling like my old SUV was going to tip over but not with this one. It handles corners beautifully. It looks very small from the outside but there's plenty of room inside tons of room up front, back seats are a tiny bit tight but there's plenty of storage in the back especially with the seats down.
