Most features on a car I've ever owned.

Love it - only had it one week but it exceeds my expectations. All the tech for the money on a small SUV intelligent 4X4 AWD - no competitors came close in the research. Loved my Vauxhall Mokka 4X4 (Buick Encore in the USA) but the new Mokka X has nothing like the tech on it compared to the Hyundai.

So far a lot of car for not a lot of money

I was tired of getting outreous bills for my Mini Cooper so I finally said enough is enough. I researched the heck out of smaller vehicles that could fit my small garage. The test drive won me over. Plus the kona won some nice awards.

In love

I’ve had my Kona for just over a month now. I average about 28 mpg and it’s super comfortable. My only complaint is that it takes a bit to speed up but using sport mode remedies that problem really fast. I love it

My second Hyundai and my favorite

I used to have a Hyundai Accent hatchback, and this car has that same Hyundai excellence backed by a 10 year warranty, and is really comfortable too with all of the new safety features and still affordable!

This car ticks most of the boxes on my list

I was contemplating over getting this car or the Honda HRV. Eventually I settled on the Kona Limited trim with the more powerful engine. The drive is smoother than HRV. Overall, I like how the car looks on the outside and inside. The speaker system is pretty awesome. Plenty of legroom in the backseat. The only downside is the trunk space is smaller than HRV.

Fun to drive

Traded in a 2006 Chrysler/Mercedes Crossfire convertible. Getting hard to get in and out of. The Kona (Ultimate) is so fun to drive. Getting over 30 mpg. Plenty of power. We own a larger SUV so this is a fun errands on the weekends driver and pretty quick with the turbo.. Great choice.

Impressive!

My wife was wanting a compact SUV and the Kona was the final choice after test driving the CX3 and the Rogue Sport. We purchased the Kona 1.6 turbo Ultimate fully loaded and I am impressed with it performance and handling with all the bells and whistles. If you are in the market for a small SUV this is a contender for sure.

Love it so far

I am still learning about my car. There are so many bells and whistles, I don't kmow if I will ever get to use them all (I am tech challenged). But so fun to mess with them
