I had the chance to get behind the wheel of the 2026 Kona, and my first thought was how perfectly it’s sized for our city. It’s nimble and easy to park in tight spots on State Street, but the ride feels solid and secure merging onto I-90.
The first thing you’ll notice is the bold, futuristic design. The seamless horizon lamp gives it an unmistakable look day or night. Inside, the cabin feels open and incredibly modern. I was immediately impressed by the massive panoramic screen that curves toward the driver—it puts everything you need right at your fingertips without being distracting. It’s a smart, comfortable, and fun-to-drive SUV that feels perfectly at home here.
