Hyundai Kona Electric
What it says about you
Opinion
Startling range for the size and price, which made it a quiet bargain. You did the homework.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
7 model years on record, 276 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 2. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2020 (engine), 2019 (kona contact). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2025 1 recall 1 complaints
- 2024 0 recalls 15 complaints
- 2023 0 recalls 5 complaints
- 2022 0 recalls 20 complaints
- 2021 2 recalls 0 complaints
- 2020 engine 181 complaints
- 2019 kona contact 54 complaints
Source: NHTSA complaints, recalls and investigations, retrieved . A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints — compared against itself rather than against other cars, so popularity and age do not decide the answer.
