Owning a Hyundai is an exciting experience, as the brand is renowned for its affordable yet dependable and high-quality vehicles. One of the ways to keep your Hyundai in excellent condition is to use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components for all part replacements. Using OEM parts from your local Hyundai dealer provides many benefits compared to using generic, aftermarket parts. 1. Designed for Your Specific Hyundai Model OEM components come directly from Hyundai, so they are engineered specifically based on the precise specifications of your Hyundai's make and model. This is unlike aftermarket parts that are made by third-party manufacturers. OEM Hyundai parts fit perfectly with the existing components and systems. This precise fit leads to a fast and seamless installation and reduces the chances of errors and incompatibility. 2. High-Quality and Durable Parts When buying aftermarket parts, quality is always a gamble. The parts may be cheap, but they won't perform as well or last as long. OEM components may be costlier than generic ones, but they are worth the investment. OEM Hyundai parts guarantee the same performance and quality as your original parts. Replacement parts will reach their projected lifespan, guaranteeing quality and longevity. This translates into significant cost savings on vehicle maintenance and repair. 3. Improved Safety and Reliability Hyundai vehicles are popular among drivers due to their proven reliability. The cars come equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, which ties together the safety features. However, for these features to continue to work reliably, you must use OEM components for all replacements. Original parts fit perfectly with the systems and software, providing peace of mind that critical components will function properly in an emergency. 4. Access to Hyundai Parts Warranty and Expertise Genuine Hyundai parts come with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty. This means that if a replacement part is defective or fails to work as intended, the warranty will cover the cost of replacing the component. Aftermarket parts rarely come with a warranty, so if they fail, you will incur additional replacement costs. Besides the parts warranty, you get Hyundai expertise and support. When you buy original parts from an authorized dealer, your car will be handled by Hyundai-trained technicians with specialized knowledge of the brand. The new parts will be installed with utmost precision, guaranteeing excellent performance. 5. Improved Resale Value for Your Hyundai If you intend to sell or trade in your Hyundai in the future, you should only stick to OEM components for all repairs. OEM components maintain the car's value as they boast the same quality as the original parts. The authenticity and reliability associated with genuine parts will fetch your vehicle a better price. Using OEM Hyundai parts is the best way to get the longest life and excellent performance from your car. Contact us at Crain Hyundai of Little Rock to order genuine parts for your vehicle.

You can even transfer your digital key to the phone or a family member or friend. Smart Parking Assist With the Smart Parking Assist feature, you can stand outside your car and command it to park itself. Using myriad external cameras and sensors, your Hyundai measures exact distances to other cars and obstacles. It then controls the steering, acceleration, and braking, to edge smoothly and accurately into even tight parking spaces. Wireless Charging Every time you drive, you can place your phone on the convenient wireless charging pad on your center console. Your car's engine will then recharge your phone with the electricity generated by the alternator, all without a pesky cable in sight. N Mode Hyundai vehicles come with three primary drive modes: normal, eco, and sport, allowing you to adjust the steering, torque, throttle, and suspension to match whatever driving conditions or mood you happen to be in. Now, you also have the powerful N Mode, which sets the car's systems for dynamic, high-performance driving. The N Mode is for real driving enthusiasts who want to see what their Nissan can do on the open road. Smart Cruise Control Commutes to work and long drives on the highway have never been easier with Smart Cruise Control. Once you activate the feature, your car monitors the exact distances from vehicles ahead and controls the brakes and gas to maintain a preset distance. It can even slow down suddenly to a halt and start up again automatically.

Electric vehicles are growing in popularity and for good reason. In addition to the environmental benefits and fuel savings, EVs use an efficient electric motor that can cut maintenance costs while improving performance. You can find a great selection of electric model Hyundais at Crain Hyundai of Little Rock, your local Hyundai dealer. Basics About Electric Model Hyundais The EV models offered by Hyundai include the IONIQ 5, IONIC 6, and KONA. Like all EVs, you save time and money by avoiding stops at the gas pump and scheduled oil changes, both unnecessary with an electric motor. Hyundai's commitment to its electric vehicles means the use of technology such as regenerative braking, which helps recharge the battery. Limited complimentary charging is offered on the IONIQ 5 and KONA models through an arrangement with Electrify America. The IONIQ 6 The IONIQ 6 provides up to 361 miles on a full charge, and a 350-kW charger can bring the battery from 10 to 80 percent in less than 20 minutes. New in 2023, the IONIQ 6 is an attractive sedan that is as eye-catching as it is efficient. An abundance of insulation, sound-deadening material, and acoustic windshield glass make the IONIQ 6 a peaceful car to drive. The front seats are easy to adjust into a range of positions and there is plenty of headroom. The IONIQ 5 The Ioniq 5 has an estimated 303-mile range with its standard 58.0-kWh battery pack and a 266-mile range with the upgraded 77.4-kWh pack (or 303 miles with the single motor option). Rapid charging capabilities allow you to add nearly 70 miles of range with 5 minutes of charging. The IONIQ5 is an SUV with available AWD. It offers smooth performance and its wide center of gravity gives it a great feel on the road. The KONA With an estimated EPA range of 258, the KONA is another SUV in Hyundai's lineup. This subcompact choice has a strong engine that makes it fun to drive. Inside, the infotainment system is intuitive and visibility is great. Like other vehicles in Hyundai's EV line-up, the KONA has a quick, smooth acceleration that makes it fun to drive. What's New at Your Hyundai Dealer in 2023 The 2022 model year was the introductory year for the IONIC 5. There were a few improvements made to the 2023 model, including a boost in range. The IONIQ 6 is new in 2023. The KONA debuted in America in 2019. Looking forward, Hyundai plans to continue its EV line, with 2024 models of the KONA and IONIQ models arriving later in the year. Whether you were an early adopter or are thinking of making the switch to EVs, stop by Crain Hyundai of Little Rock today to take one for a spin.

Did you know that you can purchase a vehicle even if you don't yet have the savings to buy it outright? Getting car financing at your local Hyundai dealer can be a great way to save money, get access to a vehicle that you need, and more. 1. Financing Is Profitable Financing is a profitable alternative to leasing or renting a car. This is due to the opportunity financing provides drivers to build equity while making payments gradually over time. When someone signs a lease to temporarily use a vehicle for the duration of the agreement, they lose money each month when they make payments. Financing works the same way with a monthly payment, but much of the value of those payments can be earned back if you then choose to sell or trade the vehicle. This means that you aren't really just losing money in the same way as someone who leases a vehicle. You are only losing the value of the car's depreciation and any interest that you accumulate while paying off the car. 2. Full Driver Freedom Financing your next car instead of leasing means retaining the same freedoms as a vehicle owner. You aren't bound by pointless mileage restrictions that keep you from making long commutes or driving for leisure. You can make endless modifications to the car for accessibility, cosmetic purposes, upgrades, and more. You can do all this without incurring any fees, as you are the sole owner of the vehicle once payments are made final. 3. Afford Your Dream Car You don't need thousands upon thousands of dollars to afford your dream car today. All you need is a modest down payment when you opt to finance, and enough to make the monthly payment. Then your dream car is instantly at your disposal. While the monthly payment for financing tends to be slightly higher than for leasing, you still end up saving money in the long term. You also build equity on a vehicle that you can then resell to make back that money or trade to get a better deal on your next vehicle. And the best part is that it is much more low-risk than a personal loan in terms of if you default on payments. Financing is easier to get approved, more convenient, and much more low-risk than a personal loan. 4. High-Quality Vehicles Your dealership is the best place to finance a new vehicle. Customers are privy to a wide variety of high-end Hyundai vehicles that are built to last for long-term value. You can also rest assured that you aren't investing in cheap vehicles made of cheap parts. You know that when you finance through Hyundai, you're getting the very best in motor vehicle technology. You don't have to let money boss you around when you try to make your next car purchase. Buy the car you want today by financing through your dependable local dealership.
