Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Kona.
The 2025 Hyundai Kona registers a modest 26 owner‑complaint count, with the electrical system emerging as the singular area of concern, and it benefits from a clean record of zero recalls. Positioned within a model line that spans from 2018 to 2026, this year follows a notable dip in complaint volume that culminated in the 2026 low of six reports, contrasting sharply with the 184 complaints recorded in the 2019 peak. This trend underscores the Kona’s continued improvement in reliability, indicating that the 2025 iteration sits near the bottom of the historical complaint spectrum and reflects a maturing platform with fewer systemic issues.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Hyundai Kona sits near the end of a generation that shows a clear downward trend in owner complaints, from a peak of 184 in 2019 to just 26 in 2025. Recalls have been sporadic across the model years, but the 2025 model year records zero recalls, a notable improvement over the three recalls in 2024 and three in 2026. Investigations, which were present in earlier years, are absent for 2025, and technical service bulletins have steadily declined to 24, down from 94 in 2018. The top complaint area for 2025 is the electrical system with only four reports, and there are no fire complaints and just two crash-related complaints. This data suggests that the 2025 Kona represents a mature, refined point in the generation with minimal reported issues, making it a strong used-car candidate.
