Love it so far
Installed a level 2 charger at home and it's been super convenient to "fill up".
My Kona has the Homelink rearview mirror mean there are several button and I can program one for my garage door opener. These buttons are not powered when the car is off. This is less than convenient but I understand why it is a security feature. ...imagine if your car were parked in your driveway and somebody got into your car and was able to open you garage door.
As a many decade driver of gasoline engine cars, I always open the garage door before starting my car, and turn off my car before closing the door. Makes sense right? I get that carbon monoxide poisoning is not a problem with the Kona EV!
But, having to power the car to open or close my garage door is just a pain. To me, the simple solution is to have the Homelink buttons powered whenever the smart key is inside the vehicle. Heck they can have the headlights on for 15 or so seconds after the car is off, why not the Homelink buttons too? ...this would be a distant second choice for functionality.
Hyundai - Please make this a software update!!!!! Please!!!
There is a continuous beep when the car is in reverse. It is VERY loud and annoying. Every other car I've had with this "feature" has had some method of disabling the beep through software switches. I can't find how to do this on a 2020 Kona EV.
Hyundai- Please make this a owner controllable feature with software. I would be happy if I could even adjust the volume.
The Kona needs a few more storage compartments in the front cabin. There is an entire door panel worth of space not being used. The console/armrest storage could use a removable divider and/or a shelf with removable tray.
Other than the above, I'm loving the Kona EV so far. I've had better than expected range and the torque for acceleration is incredible!
