Traded in my Elantra and got this snappy little red Kona ! Fun to drive, great gas mileage. Everything is just right.

I have been driving this car about a year and a half now. In that time, I’ve gotten very acquainted with it, and refined what I love about it and what I dislike. The 2022 Kona N line looks damn amazing. I’ve yet to have any mechanical issues and it drives like a dream. It has plenty of space for my needs as an adult with no children or large pets, and squeezes nicely into tight city parking spots. The gas mileage is fantastic. I am regularly getting between 30-35 MPG even primarily using it in sport mode. The handling is great for the sub-par LA city streets. The engine power is plenty to keep up and accelerate quickly for easy highway driving. The only major issue I have comes with the turbo. It’s a little choppy in the lowest gear and feels like it jerks back and forth when going from 5 mph to 0 slowly. This is not a deal breaker. I find the most consistent issue is with the paint and trim. The black paint is easily scratched, and the black window trim has hazed and whitened over time with washing. I trust this car to take me on long trips, carry my partner and I through doctors appointments, and my cats back and forth from the vet. If I could go back, I would only consider getting the Kona N for the extra engine power. Otherwise, I love the interior, exterior, and mechanics. Will be riding in the Kona N line as long as I can.

A Little Hot-rod Roadster with AWD

Agile and quick, the Kona N-Line has a 1.6l turbo engine that lets it zip effortlessly through traffic in Sport mode. Lots of safety & convenience features that I actually use. Really appreciate the Harman Kardon audio and the 10” infotainment screen that come with the tech package.

I nanny and the best thing about this car is how easy it is to install and uninstall a car seat! It has amazing standard safety features and drives like a much smaller car-I can fit in the tiniest of parking spots! Love it

Kona, My Peppy Little SUV

I traded in my Sonata, which I loved for a new Kona which I love even more. It's just high enough to see over all the zombie drivers on the LIE. It's comfy and has a lot of pep. It also has all the room I need with the backseats that fold down. I'm very happy with my purchase.
