Get to Know the 2023 Hyundai Kona N

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.

When you sit behind the wheel of a Hyundai, you have dozens of advanced tech features at your fingertips. Here are some of the best technological features a modern Hyundai uses to boost your driving experience. To see them in action for yourself, ask for a demonstration at your nearest Hyundai dealer. Digital Key The Hyundai digital key allows for total vehicle control through your phone. Even when out of the car, you can use it to remotely access your vehicle; you can turn the engine and headlights on or off, or check vehicle stats from afar. 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.
