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.

As a motorist, it's important that you keep your vehicle in good working order and address any issues to keep everyone safe and avoid damage to your car. That's why, if you notice any indications that your car may have a faulty ignition coil, you should get yourself down to your local Hyundai dealer at the first opportunity. That way, they'll be able to accurately diagnose the problem and perform any necessary repairs to get you safely back on the road. What Is an Ignition Coil? Ignition coils are a key component found in the engine of virtually all gasoline-powered cars. They take the electricity provided by the car's battery into the powerful bursts that the spark plugs to ignite your fuel and oxygen. This releases the energy from the gasoline and uses it to power your engine, allowing you to get where you need to go. How Do Ignition Coil Faults Develop? As with all parts of your car, ignition coils can only work well for so long. Although ignition coils are designed to last around 100,000 miles or potentially even longer, they can develop faults before this. These faults could be caused by anything from a faulty spark plug to moisture or even excessive heat and vibrations from the engine. What Are the Signs That I Have a Faulty Ignition Coil? There are a number of signs that can point to there being an issue with one of your ignition coils. The most obvious is your check engine light showing, but there are other changes to your driving experience that can also point to the same problem. If your engine starts to misfire or backfire, your car begins to stall more often, or your performance and acceleration decline, the issue may be with one of your ignition coils. What Should I Do if I Suspect My Ignition Coil Is Faulty? If you suspect that your ignition coil, or any other part of your engine, has developed a fault, it's important that you don't ignore the problem. Not only can doing so lead to more problems with your engine in the future, but it can also present a safety risk in some cases. We would also recommend against trying to address the issue yourself as this can come with a risk of injury and improperly performed repairs could make your car less safe or lead to further damage. It's far better to turn to a professional for assistance. How Can My Hyundai Dealer Help? When you choose to have your servicing and repairs carried out by a trustworthy and reliable dealership, you can be sure that the work will be performed by Hyundai experts to the highest standards. We will assess the state of your engine, accurately identify any problems, and perform the repairs necessary to have you driving safely and comfortably again in no time.

Plugs are one of the most important parts of your vehicle. They are responsible for igniting the fuel and air mixture that powers your car, so regular maintenance at a Hyundai dealer is essential for good performance and fuel economy. That's how you eliminate guesswork from the spark plugs equation. How Long Do Spark Plugs Last? Generally, plugs last between 30,000 and 90,000 miles but can be replaced sooner if there's a misfire or other performance issue. This huge difference between the minimum and maximum plug life is due to differences in driving conditions, engine configuration, and other variables. We recommend getting preventive maintenance at an authorized Hyundai service center for the best results. Mechanics in these car clinics are familiar with your vehicle and its configuration, so they are in the best position to judge whether or not it's time for a plug replacement. The last thing you want is a car that keeps stalling on you. What Happens If You Don't Replace Plugs at a Hyundai Dealer? You might experience several symptoms if you don't replace your plugs at an authorized dealership. These include: Poor engine performance Decreased fuel efficiency Difficulty starting the car Poor performance can be attributed to the old plugs not firing correctly or having unequal gaps that cause misfiring in the cylinders. A decrease in fuel economy is driven by inefficient combustion due to bad plugs. And difficulty starting the car is caused by a weak voltage that has trouble igniting the fuel and air mixture in the cylinders. Do All Plugs Need To Be Replaced at the Same Time? Plugs don't need to be replaced at the same time. If one spark plug performs worse than the others, it can be replaced first, and the other can be checked for performance later. However, it's best to get all of them replaced together. This will save time and help avoid any confusion or misdiagnosis resulting from a combination of old and new plugs. Spark Plug Gapping Gapping your plugs is also important. Plugs should be gapped to the exact specification to fire properly. If they are not gapped correctly, they will cause misfiring and other performance problems. The gapping issue happens when you get generic plugs instead of asking a Hyundai expert to provide you with the right ones. Generic plugs come pre-gapped but may not be the correct size for your engine. Now that we can all agree that plug replacement is an important part of owning a Hyundai, call Crain Hyundai of Little Rock to schedule an appointment. We will promptly replace your plugs with the right parts so you can drive at peak performance all the time.
