Great crossover the ride is more comfortable than I anticipated. The noise level in the cabin is excellent. The only thing I would say about the vehicle is the horsepower. But then again, I’m not racing the car love this car all the features.

I have owned only Toyotas for the last 30 years, and I was very impressed with our Kona. The technology is great, love the big screen for Apple car play. This is a second car, and it’s perfect for my husband and myself. The ride is quiet, comfortable, and smooth. We’ve only owned it for a few weeks, but so far, it was a great decision.

Honestly Hyundai offers a lot for what you are paying for. I just hope that this car lasts a long time. I just hit 1,000 miles and so far no issues. I will update if something happens.

A absolute steal for $35k!!!

So many good things about this car, and I’m new to Hyundai, love the complete redesign, tech, comfort, size, back seat leg room is ridiculously spacious for this class or even encroaching on a mid size. Ventilated cooled seats, what? Now that’s unexpected!! Love the gear shift being up by the wheel and all the open space it created in the middle with the retractable cup holders, just brilliant!! Love the futuristic exterior very much. Yes, the gas mileage is not the absolute best but it’s a much smaller issue for me with other cars in the family being hybrids (Tucson & Santa Fe, love them as well) 10 year warranty and free maintenance for 3 years, now that’s a cherry on top!!

Highly would not recommend this car. It is a nice little car when it is running right. Drives well, handles well, and good in the snow. But the problem arise when it comes to the Main Battery, Auxillary Battery, and the BCM. Along with the fact that Hyundai Service Department where I live refuses to listen to the issues. First it started with the Updates every 4 months completely killing the battery and Hyundai claiming it was just a Update Recall, so, completely dead battery 4 times in less than a year because of an Update. Next up, External Devices Slowly draining battery, not word on the cause of that. Next, now the car keeps shutting down, and going completely dark. All exterior lights, interior lights all go out, the radio goes out, windshield wipers go out. So, basically everything that you need to drive at night like I do, goes completely dark. Done research and it due to the Aux Battery located in the back passenger seat being drained, and the BCM failing because of the Aux Battery. But, Hyundai refuses to acknowledge me and actually check the Aux Battery to verify that it is the cause. 2024 Hyundai Kona Limited with 16k miles.
