Great car but increased price & less features than last year's model.
I leased a 2026 Hyundai Kona. 2026 Kona is a great car, however Hyundai raised the price several thousand dollars & then eliminated several features, i.e.: no more arm rest with cup holders in the rear seat; no more driver's left foot rest, only carpet. This feature, though seemingly small, will lead to increased wear on the carpet, this is a concerned with a leased Kona; after 2-3 years in winter weather, that small 8"x10" piece of carpet with get a lot of wear. Too bad Hyundai eliminated such a small & critical feature. Another issue is that the vehicle's rear door hatch latch on the new Kona doesn't work properly. When all the doors & windows are closed, the rear door hatch won't close due to too much pressure in the car cabin. The only fix for this is to take the Kona to the dealership where they will basically use a hammer to re-position the U-latch; once they fix this feature, the rear door hatch works as it should. Nothing more insulting to a long-time, loyal Hyundai customer, to get a new model vehicle that costs more & with fewer features; that should be the other way around.
