Good

This is a nice car . But I don’t get the gas mileage. For a small car. But everything else is greatly the car . It come with a choice . For SMX radio. And it drives nice. Love the heated seats. And I’m looking in the future to try to get a electric and gas car.

Safety and Reliability At Its Best

The 2021 Kona is a good looking and affordable vehicle with the essential safety and driver assisted features that I need for my day to day commute. The warranty and the great service that I received from Antwerpen Hyundai's Sales Associate Mr. Tyrone Melvin sealed the deal for me.

My New Kona

First time I saw a Kona parked next to me, it totally caught my eye - very stylish and fun! At the time, I wasn't sure I was ready to buy a new car, but went home to research and found the safety ratings were very high and it had a price I could afford. I purchased within the week........ Really glad I did - love the car - it's small, but perfect for me (I find 90% of the time I'm alone, either running errands or shopping). Not a lot of leg room in back for passengers, but again most of the time I'm alone. Handles the road really well, good braking and acceleration, all the bells and whistles. SO happy with my new Kona!

Kona > Sentra

I still remember the first day I drove my Sentra, brand new and all. Granted there’s a 6 yr difference between the Sentra I had and the Kona I’m financing but man oh man do I love the way it drives, amazing sounds, just enough space. No complaints so far.

Kona

I went to buy a white Venue. They didn’t have a white one, only silver which I don’t care for. So the sales rep drove around the Kona (with a roof rack, lol) It didn’t that much “selling” on her part as I knew that I was leaving with a Hyundai SUV

Only Driven 200 miles so far.

So far I do love my new Hyundai Kona SE. Love the Chalk White color and the overall design. There are a couple of things that do get annoying, but luckily you can shut them off. Traction Control button makes the car a little too jumpy when it's on when pressing on the brake. So for city driving I just turn that off and the same with LKA Lane Keeping Assistant. For city driving it beeps way too much that it needs to be turned off also.

Hyundai Kona is a fun to drive sporty subcompact SUV

I first learned about the Kona n Consumer Reports. I wanted a small SUV that was fun to drive. The Kona was consistently rated among the top 3 in that category for performance, quality and reliability. I test drove 3 cars and was especially looking for a vehicle with good handling and power. The Kona turbo engine met all my expectations. It accelerates up hills nicely and merges easily and smoothly onto the interstate. Beyond the engine performance, the Kona is sporty looking and very stylish. The interior is comfortable and even has lumbar support for the driver seat. The safety features are wonderful (including a heads up display) and easily operated in the event you want to disable any for some reason. The infotainment system is super easy to use and has voice recognition capabilities for navigation and phone. There is a generous complementary Bluelink subscription included for 3 years which makes navigating especially convenient and even supports remote start via a phone app. I love driving my new Kona! This is my first Hyundai and so far I’ve been very impressed with the car and the dealership. Everyone went out of their way to make the buying experience easy and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to others.

Compact sporty fuel efficient crossover

I was in the hole on a BMW X3. The values plummeted. I replaced it with this 2021 Hyundai Kona. I love it. Yes the bmw accelerated faster but the mpg reflected. This Kona has everything I wanted. Love it.

I am very happy with the car to this point! My experience with the dealership has been very good! My sales person was wonderful! This part is annoying as it is too soon after purchase to go into to great detail, and to be forced to have 200 characters is frustrating! I can give you my opinion in 5 GREAT

Love the car. The ride and feel of this car is incredible considering I've owned a Honda vehicle for the last 35 or so years and this vehicle feel and drive coupled with the price is equal to and very similar to the Honda's I've owned.

2021 KONA ULTIMATE: My best car, ever

So, I used to think that my 2013 Boston Red Veloster was my best car ever, and my heart was broken when it was rear-ended and totalled (thankfully, no injuries)...however, given the pothole situation in eastern Massachusetts, and the low ride of the Veloster, I decided to go up, literally, to a higher-sitting Kona as a replacement. Really, really liked the 2018 Kona, but I played it economical, with the standard trim. Given the way drivers started conducting themselves on the roads during the start of the pandemic (No cars! Let's drive 90 mph regardless of speed limits!!), I started feeling that not having some of the driver assists available in the higher level trims would not only be nice but would make me feel safer. And...with my very lovely albeit conservative Thunder Gray car, I did find myself lusting after the Surf Blue that occasionally popped up in my line of sight. So...with not a lot of miles on my 2018 Kona, I just noodled the idea of a trade-in for a newer Kona with my very favorite McGovern Hyundai sales guy, Colson Pierre. And - wham! - I found myself in a Surf Blue 2021 Kona Ultimate. How much do I love this car? I LOVE this car. It has all the bells and whistles one could want, the safety features are terrific, the Turbo engine is sweet, and the color is a head-turner! I still find myself looking at Velosters that pass me, but with AWD and the ability to drive over potholes that would formerly have knocked my teeth out, I am ecstatically happy with the Ultimate Kona! Perfect size (still fits into compact spots); super comfortable to drive; good on gas; and FUN!

Great choice

All good - styling, performance, interior. Transmission is a bit erratic in normal mode, much better in SPORT mode. Pulls really well from a standing start. Decent handling - quite precise for an 'SUV' type. Good turning circle - nice and tight.

2021 Kona Limited...

Great car... Well built... Small on the outside and surprisingly roomy on the inside with enough rear storage... Very good road feel for it's size... wide stance and solid ride at highway speeds... Comfortably seating and ride... Great gas mileage with long range fuel tank... More accessories than you probably need... Just a great fun car all around...
