Just got home from the dealership and so far we are really impressed. We traded in a 2020 Nissan Rogue and don't feel too cheated by what is a smaller vehicle because it is so roomy inside. Love the handling and engine power compared to the Rogue. The tech features are so amazing and it's what attracted us to get it. Only drove a bit on the highway so far but everything is making us confident we bought the right car. I think the only drawback is going to be the mediocre mileage we are likely to pull. Great car so far. Can't wait to take it out for a long drive. After two more days driving it around and some highway time I can now say this car is fantastic. The Limited model has so much tech and near luxury features. I think the only thing it might be missing is rain sensing wipers. The shifting nob position and function will take a while to get used to but after decades of reaching down to change out of park etc it is understandable. The benefit of the location is the open space and storage between the seats.

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.

Incredible quality for this SUV / crossover! Lots of security tech, smooth comfortable ride and looks good inside and out! I find the 2.0 litres motor is more than enough for normal every day driving either city or highway. The only tick for me is clearing the snow under the wipers which you need to start vehicle to put wipers up! I also wish there was a hybrid version in Canada.

Bought my 2024 Hyundai Kona SEL 2.0L 4cyl AWD with the IVT transmission aka the 8 speed transmission. For the first roughly 10,000 miles the car ran and drove fine, no issues so far as i was concerned. around the 10,000 mile mark the car started to hesitate to accelerate mainly when accelerating off of a traffic light, would press on the pedal and the vehicle would begin to accelerate and then would shift to the next gear prematurely and refuse to build any rpm and would feel like it had a misfire / shutter and naturally i would push harder on the pedal and all of a sudden it would accelerate rapidly. this issue also happened on the highway where it would fail to down shift until a large amount of input was given on the pedal and the vehicle would again accelerate very rapidly. Brought it to the dealer 3 separate times complaining of the issue took multiple techs for a ride and even the service manager and got told so push harder on the pedal regardless of the effect on the gas mileage or drive it in sport mode or any this was the best "trade this one in and get the one with the 1.6T motor and you wont have the issues accelerating as it has a turbo"
