Smooth quiet and peppy ride!

This is our first small SUv and after driving all the competition mentioned we chose the 2024 Kona Limited AWD. AWD features independent rear suspension. FWD does not. It makes a world of difference in ride quality and handling. We drove both no regrets. It seems like a solid well built car. And the fit and finish is extremely good. Although it’s not the cheapest small SUV it sure suits our needs. My wife came out of a 2014 Lincoln MKS to this and she really likes. it is easy and fun to drive

Horrible Gas Mileage

I was given a 2024 Hyundai Kona as a loaner, which had only 6 miles when it was loaned to me. After three months, I can tell you that I will never buy this car. The gas mileage is the worst part of this car, and handling on the local roads makes too much noise. The navigation system needs to be updated because it is boring. The air conditioner at full blast can't handle the heat in Las Vegas, NV. The car is overpriced, in my opinion; I don't feel any comfort or good driving this vehicle. The cruise control fails to keep distance between cars, and the lane change features almost got me into several accidents. This has no value. The black trim attracts dust and dirt. Hard to keep it clean. The only good thing about the car is the exterior style, but the inside is horrible. I won't recommend this car to family or friends. Also, Hyundai is having a problem getting parts for its vehicles. My car has been in the dealer waiting for parts for eight months, which is why I'm driving it now. I had to fight to get a loaner; they had me walking without a car for a week.

Nice redesign

Test drove the limited and it is a very nice vehicle, but at this top trim level lacks one important function and that is a power passenger seat, for the added 2k+ this should have power passenger seats at least 6 way since it is the higher trim or possibly a choice of Power moon roof or Power passenger seat. Like the extra room in the back seat.
