Reviews On The Hyundai Kona

Overall, auto critics have many positive things to say about the Hyundai Kona, including its spaciousness, interior amenities, and fuel efficiency. Check out the following reviews on the Hyundai Kona to get an idea of what to expect from this model: 

Car and Driver

“Though the second-generation Hyundai Kona lacks the playfulness of the first, this one has broader appeal, with a roomier cabin and cargo hold as well as a sleeker tech setup. Its styling seems like something out of George Lucas’s imagination and is sure to draw eyes, particularly if you spec Neoteric Yellow or Soultronic Orange paint.”

The Car and Driver review also discusses the stylish and comfortable interior: 

“The interior design is modern, with a cleanly styled dash fronted by a widescreen cluster-and-infotainment setup. Low-level Konas feature a console-mounted shifter, but the top two get a column-mounted stalk that frees up enough console space for a wireless charging pad and seat-heating controls. Front-seat ventilation and leatherette upholstery are also available in top models.”

Kelley Blue Book

“About the only way Hyundai could make us more enthusiastic about the 2026 Kona would be to beef up the horsepower in the base engine. Otherwise, we can’t find a nit to pick. In fact, we like it so much that we named it our Kelley Blue Book Subcompact SUV Best Buy Award winner again. Besides being easy on the eyes, it’s competent, fuel-efficient, and claims the best warranty in the industry. But wait, there’s more. Its tidy footprint allows the Kona to wiggle into tight parking slots in spite of offering one of the roomier interiors in the segment. Win, win, win, win, win.”

MotorTrend

“The Kona comes standard with appealing tech like a large infotainment display with wireless phone mirroring and adaptive cruise control, making it a compelling pick for those shopping for an up-to-date daily driver. The interior matches the exterior’s bold, modern styling and provides lots of space for passengers and cargo.”

MotorTrend also recommends the SEL Premium configuration: 

“The 2026 Hyundai Kona SEL Premium receives the upgraded turbocharged engine option and a larger fuel tank with 13.2 gallons of capacity to the 12.4-gallon tank paired with the 2.0-liter four-banger. The SEL Premium is standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available.”
