Its tech and displays earn positive notes (32 mentions) for the twin 12.3‑inch screens, intuitive infotainment, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay support and useful features like pre‑warming, over‑the‑air updates and phone-as-key. Styling and charging are also cited as strengths by multiple reviewers, with many liking the modern exterior design and the car’s V2L/fast‑charging capabilities and convenient front charge port placement.

Driving critiques (24 mentions) note noticeable body roll, some road and wind noise, and that the Kona is comfort‑oriented rather than sporty, while a number find certain warning beeps and driver‑assist alerts overly sensitive (13 mentions). Several reviewers also flag tech and charging shortcomings (14 and 9 mentions respectively)—confusing menu depth, lack of wireless CarPlay on some cars, cheaper key fob design, no 800V charging and only modest DC fast‑charge figures—and many feel pricing/options can push the cost up compared with expectations (14 mentions).
