Good experience! Excellent value for the money

This is a very well constructed vehicle with many safety features. I got an excellent deal on a lease which made the vehicle even more attractive. I turned in my 2019 Kona after 19 months to get the 2021 Kona . If the dealership offered me a similar opportunity on my 2021 Kona(which I have had for 12 months) I would welcome the opportunity!!!!

One of my favorite things!

My wife and I totally love our Hyundai Kona. It makes travel a joy. And has almost no blind spots and warning and safety systems. One of the few cars I’ve felt very confident behind the wheel. I personally hate driving in traffic and avoided it as much as Possible in our prior Jeep Patriot. The Kona makes it so easy to see I’ve driven I95 in bad traffic without worry. It’s a great car and the 100,000 mile warranty makes me sleep better at night.

Great

I like the vehicle and the dealership that sold it to me. Thank you for this opportunity. I have bought 6 Hyundai total and will continue to buy Hyundai as they continue to improve and make a better vehicle going forward.

2021 Kona Limited

leased this vehicle. Very satisfied so far after 1yr into 3 yr lease. Nice styling both out and inside. 1.6 litre turbo, along with 8sp transmission provide adequate performance and good mileage. Will probably purchase at end of lease due to low mileage driven. Nice vehicle.

Love my Kona

Love my Kona for it’s pep and styling. I have the night edition in white, and it’s so fun to drive. Great pickup and handling. Only downside are the night beams could be brighter and have a wider and farther reach. The horn is also not as robust as one would like, but driving defensively I don’t use it much anyway. Also - no moonroof in a night edition is a real shame! But other than that, I love my Kona and would buy again.

Great car

I love this car! It’s great on gas, stylish, and has get up and go. The turbo engine is the way to go and the awd is important in my area. It’s super reliable, Super fun to drive and it has all the bells and whistles!

Anniversary review

I've had my new Kona one year now and I still love everything about it! It's the perfect size for me; it's comfortable, handles great; gets good mileage and looks cool. I also love the dealership I bought it from - I won't go anywhere else.

Love my Kona in every way

Hyundai makes a Quality vehicle with best warranty on the market. It's Comfortable, cute, has loads of great standard features plus excellent optional ones available for decent price, and gets great fuel economy. I average 28+ around town and 38+ highway. So happy with my Kona Ultimate.

So many great features, but two

I love to drive our Kona it is quick and responsive. It also flys. Passing someone at highway speed is a breeze. Corners very well too. THe road noise is horrific. The phone system is so slow to respond to voice commands.

2021 Hyundai Kona is 10/10

The 2021 Hyundai Kona is a very nice car. The style and design is so beautiful, spacious, a smooth ride. You can fit 5 passengers in the car, there’s cupholders in the front and back of the car. The trunk is a little small, but underneath there’s a spare tire with a tool kit to help with the spare tire. In the glove box, there are helpful books about the car.

1.5 turbo has terrible transmission problems

I have a Kona 1.5 turbo that has been in the shop for 2 months out of the one year I’ve owned it for the same problem. It seems Hyundai cannot get their clutch issues corrected so the problem still persists.

I love my 2021 Hyundai Kona.

This is my first brand new car purchase I ever made, before that all of my other vehicles were purchased used. I decided to purchase this vehicle for a few reasons. I traded in a Hyundai Elantra for this one. I had a great experience with the Elantra so I trusted Hyundai enough to purchase another one. The 2021 was the first year Hyundai introduced with the night edition. I fell in love with the appeal of the night edition over the other Kona editions. It seems like a little compact SUV, but I live in the Utah desert and this thing handles whatever terrain I challenge it with, without any after market upgrades or enhancements.

run smoothly

Excellent size for one or two person, could improve interior space for fury babies and quality of seat cover material. So far so good with this model, didnt like the fact the horn malfunction within the 60 I bought it and had to wait almost year for replacement.

My dream car!

I replaced a small sedan with this vehicle. I’m short so oncoming headlights were always in my eyes at night. I needed something that sat higher but got good gas mileage and would be easy to park. Bingo! The Kona was perfect in those categories. I got the Ultimate edition and it was worth every penny. I never knew what a heads up display was but how I love that thing! I am also loving the gas mileage in this time of raising gas prices. Self adjusting headlights! Automatic windshield wipers! The only drawback is that my friends want me to drive whenever we travel cause they all love my Kona

Hyundai Kona Night 2021

Kona night is compact and easy to drive especially for beginner and novice drivers. It's good car for 1 to 3 persons. Easy to clean. Though it may not have a bigger cabin space (back) but will surely fit 2 luggage

Sleek and stylish. Great vehicle.

After a lot of research and vehicle comparisons, it became apparent the Kona was the choice for all of my needs. Great lines, sleek design, lots of features, and best of all excellent fuel economy. Hyundai has really stepped up their game.

Decent looking transportation for a reasonable price but lacking in some areas

It has most of the bells and whistles but is lacking in the comfort and road noise areas. Also it has not been very reliable and I am only at 6500 miles. Rear diff exploded at 3900 miles and trans rebuilt at 6500

It's a meh

I had a Kona sport model before I traded to my present car. I was offered a trade for a new car and I thought it made sense but the car has not performed well as far as performance and comfort. It feels like a cheap car.i am disappointed.9
