Superior quality in looks, fit and finish. Stellar infotainment with touch-screen.
I needed to replace my 2005 Suzuki Aerio AWD which is a small, but hi-profile vehicle. Some mocked it as a "clown car" but being tall, I liked the ease of getting in and out of it. So, I looked for cars that were close to the dimensions first of all as this was main priority, along with AWD. The Kona Limited had exactly what I looked for and had all the bells and whistles of our (3) Mazda CX-5's. The quality of the Harmon Kardon audio with 8 speakers surpasses the sound in our 2023 (2017 & 2020) Mazda CX5's with their 10-speaker sound so that was a big surprise. Of course the added tech and safety features and 5 star crash ratings far surpassed the Aerio, and I think surpassed the CX5 as well. I'm very pleased but wish there was a liftgate release feature in the Kona, power passenger seats & the ability to turn off the stop/start engine permanently, and not at every start up of the car. And I'm still trying (at 200 miles to get used to/learn how to drive the DCT as find it quirky. Otherwise, this car rates a 10 in my book.
