Owned this since August 2024. It isn't the most striking or powerful vehicle on the road but so far, everything has worked like a charm.The engine is quiet and while the specs on paper aren't outstanding, my car never feels inadequate in terms of pickup. There are times when other cars assume a Hyundai can't move that quickly on the expressway but the Kona can be surprising.I like the exterior styling, especially the light bars. The interior is very modern - the bright strip running across the dashboard might not appeal to everyone. In terms of tech, this car has everything I want from Android Auto to multiple safety and driver assist sensors.I wish the boot could be bigger. The back seats could be wider as well.

Been driving over a year+ now. Got it during pre-launch so had free upgrade to elite.Had an Avante previously so continuing faith on Hyundai with Kona. Not disappointed. Ventilated and heated seats are awesome. Driving modes quite responsive. Adaptive cruising is awesome especially on slow moving expressway. Sufficient and Efficient for Sg roads. ProSmooth handling for cornersSufficient torque for pickup and overtakingGood fuel efficient Con Poor boot spaceNot entirely very spacious (back seats best for 2 rather than 3)

Been driving my Kona hybrid for more than a month, including a "Test drive" To Genting Highlands. More than happy with the performance, even for long drive to KL. Even when driving at higher speeds than when compared to on local roads, the performance feels great and I managed FC of almost 18km/l. On local roads, been getting around 20km/l so I've been pleasantly surprised. The switching between battery and petrol powering the engine is smooth and not noticeable.In terms of features and comfort, the Kona feels great so nothing to complain about, especially at the current competitive price as compared to other similar hybrid models.

Despite the KONA being one of the lower-priced compact SUV available in the market today, even for the Elite trim which I got, you are getting a very futuristic looking car with excellent fuel efficiency, packed load with features.Ventilated seats are godsend in SG weather and relaxation seats are an amazing plus when waiting in the car. With a light-coloured interior, sunroof, and open centre console (due to gear shift being relocated behind the steering wheel), the car feels very spacious and is a nice place to stay in for long. Not forgetting the dual 12-inch displays with an extremely responsive touchscreen, ambient lighting, automatic power adjusted seats and intuitive physical buttons for the media and aircon controls.Exterior of the car looks specular, particularly if you get it in a dark colour like ecotronic grey or black which blends with the fenders to get a very cohesive look. The car makes very cute faces in the front (looks like your -__- emoji) and rear (looks like a catfish with the rear lamps as the eyes). At night or under dark conditions, it evolves into a futuristic spaceship, and I guarantee you you will turn heads. Interior looks simple, minimalistic and more importantly does not have any gloss piano black used.Fuel efficiency is amazing for me with my daily commute to work, averaging around 22km/litre. Car picks up fast when trying to overtake, and suspension is a league ahead of your typical Honda and Toyota. No issues at all with 20,000km+ clocked so far.This car, despite commanding a lower price tag, is a step ahead its sister Kia Niro SX and miles ahead of the entry Japanese crossovers like Toyota Corolla Cross, Honda HRV and Nissan Kicks. Hyundai has really improved leaps and bounds compared to what it was a few years back. Extremely satisfied KONA Elite owner!
