Innovative Hybrid Efficiency

Hyundai designed the Sonata Hybrid with innovative features that takes the fuel efficiency that hybrids are known for through the roof. The available solar roof panel adds additional charge to your electric and gas powertrain, absorbing energy from the sun and converting it into electric power for your drive. All of that adds up to a mileage rating of up to 54 miles per gallon on the highway to let you take every drive that much farther.

Uncompromising Performance

With the Sonata Hybrid, Hyundai has delivered a vehicle that can give you both. With a total combined horsepower of 192, you’ll have all the power and ferocity you need to take any ordinary, everyday drive and turn it into an unforgettable thrill ride.

Grab attention everywhere that you drive with the one-of-a-kind style that the Sonata Hybrid brings to the road. Hyundai went for a lower, longer, and wider stance with this year’s redesign, giving you a sophisticated silhouette that is instantly recognizable no matter where you show up. The hybrid-exclusive integrated spoiler will give you a classy look that will have other drivers mistaking your Sonata Hybrid for a luxury coupe as it goes cruising by.

Hyundai Digital Key Convenience

Take convenient access to a range of features for your vehicle everywhere you go with the available Hyundai Digital Key feature. Unlock and or start your doors all through an easy-to-use app on your compatible smartphone so that your vehicle is ready for your arrival. It’s also simple and straightforward to share your digital key access with another driver you plan on sharing the vehicle with, adding an extra layer of convenience.

Parking Made Easy

What if the stressful situation of parallel parking could be done when you aren’t even inside the vehicle, and could be as simple as pushing a button? That’s exactly what the Sonata Hybrid’s available remote smart parking assist feature offers you. Simply engage this feature by pressing a button on your key fob. Your vehicle takes over from there, using sensors and automated steering to guide itself into or out of even the tightest parking space.

To get an additional boost when you really need to bring some speed to the road, activate Sport+ mode to get an even more responsive throttle and increase the engine’s horsepower output.

Save money on your commute with a vehicle that you can get at a great value that also gives you the efficiency that only hybrid driving can offer. Your budget will love the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid almost as much as you love driving it. Learn what makes the Ioniq better than your average Hyundai when you read all about the leading features that Hyundai built into this year’s model in our preview of this exciting Hybrid option.

America’s Most Fuel-Efficient Vehicle

The bar for fuel efficiency in a hybrid vehicle just got raised when Hyundai launched the 2022 Ioniq. Beating out competitors’ vehicles by a longshot, the new Ioniq can achieve as high as 60 miles per gallon when you drive the Ioniq Hybrid Blue trim level. That will open up a whole new world of possibilities for where your travels can take you, letting you leave other vehicles in the dust while they’re stuck at the gas pump.

Uncompromising on Performance

Even though the Ioniq is such an advanced hybrid, it doesn’t drive like one. The gas and electric engines reach up to 139 horsepower, giving you enough acceleration and maneuverability to bring some excitement to every drive you set out on. Add the highway driving assist system that comes with the Ioniq Limited trim level to get a helping hand that keeps you centered in your lane, letting you focus on enjoying the ride ahead.

Singular Sense of Style

Hyundai believes that you shouldn’t have to compromise on good looks in order to enjoy the eco-friendly driving a hybrid allows, which is why they designed the Ioniq to be worth showing off. The airflow-inspired body shape and aerodynamic contour lines running throughout the vehicle set you apart from other vehicles you’ll share the road with.

Modern, Spacious Interior

You’ll find plenty of room to spare waiting for you inside of the Ioniq, giving you and anyone coming along for the ride space to stretch out and relax. Eco-friendly bio-fabrics used for the seating trim give a comfortable feeling to every ride, with an available 10.25-inch touchscreen console that gives you easy access to all of the vehicle’s features. A whopping 122 cubic feet of interior space leaves plenty of room for all of your cargo and passengers.

Protected by Hyundai SmartSense Safety

Hyundai’s intelligent approach to safety gives you a drive that you can be confident in, assured by the fact that you’ve got all of the latest safety technology protecting you. Take the lane-keeping assist system, for example. If sensors on your vehicle detect that you’ve begun to drift out of your lane when you aren’t signaling to get over, gentle corrective steering kicks in to keep you right where you need to be.

You don’t have to settle when making the change to a hybrid vehicle when the Ioniq gives you everything you’re looking for in your driving experience. Come to Crain Hyundai of Bentonville today to check this exciting vehicle out for yourself!

Is the car AC not working? That’s one question you do not want to be raised, especially if you’re driving in the warm Arkansas weather. To ensure that you stay on top of your car AC’s efficiency, here are six signs that you need to look out for that indicate your vehicle’s AC is malfunctioning and it’s time to visit a Hyundai repair shop in Bentonville, AR.

1) High Cabin Temperature

Check your car’s cabin temperature by pressing the AC button and turning it on. When a vehicle is in good condition, the air coming from the vents should feel cool to cold, and very quickly. If it does not, there is a problem with the cooling system that needs to be addressed immediately.

2) Weird Noises

Does your car’s AC compressor emit a strange buzzing noise? Your vehicle’s heating and cooling system operate by compressing and evaporating refrigerant. When something goes wrong in this process, it causes weird noises like gurgling and thumping to come from your AC compressor. To be sure, always consult a car repair specialist for verification.

3) Bad Smell

Does your car’s air conditioning system smell of oil or lubricant? This is a sign that you need to get your windshield flushed and filled with new refrigerant. If ignored, the foul smell could spread, and it will be hard to trace where exactly it comes from.

4) Unusual Noises

Does your car’s cabin produce an odd mechanical hum or other noise that it did not make before? When there are changes in how the cooling system operates, this could signify that something may have gone wrong with the compressor, receiver dryer, or orifice tube. In any case, a Hyundai mechanic will inspect your cabin’s AC and determine the problem.

5) Blows Cold Air Only When Driving

Is your car’s AC only blowing cold air when you’re on the road? If this is what you’re experiencing, it could be because there is a leak in the refrigerant system of your vehicle. Because leaks can occur anywhere from the tubing to the evaporator and condenser, a professional mechanic should inspect your vehicle to learn where the leak is coming from.

6) Blows Warm Air But the Outside Temperature Is Cool

When the outside temperature falls below 70 degrees Fahrenheit yet you find your car’s AC blowing warm air, this could mean that the cooling system has a refrigerant leak. However, it’s also possible that there’s an issue with your cabin temperature control switch. Consult your car repair expert at a Hyundai service center in Bentonville to be sure about what needs to be done and where the problem lies.

Here at Crain Hyundai of Bentonville, we know that you depend on your car’s air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable. We want to help ensure that your vehicle is ready for the hot Arkansas summers ahead, so if you’re experiencing any AC problems with your Hyundai today or in the future, give Crain Hyundai of Bentonville a call! Our team will be happy to answer any questions about our service department hours or what might need fixing on your specific model.

With all these amazing safety features working together, you can confidently go on any long trips with little to worry about.

The cherry on top is the Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) feature. If you ever pull into a tight parking spot, then this will be nice to have.

The Hyundai Elantra has been around for a while now, and it has proven extremely popular in every iteration. For good reason: the Elantra has always offered buyers a great ride at a great price, with good looks to boot. In this sense, the 2022 Hyundai Elantra is much like its predecessors.

The Basics

Driving Experience

The Elantra is a compact sedan with a smooth ride on even the most uneven surfaces thanks to a recent chassis upgrade. At all trim levels, the Elantra is equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 147hp, which goes through the front wheels and is moderated by a very efficient CVT gearbox.

Fuel Efficiency

The SE models manage an impressive 33/43 mpg city/highway, and the SEL and Limited models offer 31/41 mpg. The car is also available as a Hybrid, which can get up to an astonishing 53/56 mpg with the Blue trim, or 49/52 mpg with the Limited trim.

Pricing and Trim Levels

SE

For what you get, the Elantra represents excellent value for money. The SE model is available from $19,850 and is well-equipped with an 8in touchscreen, wireless AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlay, and a host of safety features including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian detection and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.

SEL

The SEL trim is still very reasonably priced at $21,100 and builds on the SE with a number of high-quality features. Notably, with the SEL you get 16in alloy wheels, a hands-free smart trunk release, and a proximity key with a push-button start, making it a very user-friendly car to own and drive.

Limited

The Limited trim starts at $25,600 and is the most luxurious trim available. Features include leather seats, dynamic voice recognition, a 10.25in touchscreen with wired AndroidAuto and Apple CarPlay connection, and LED headlights.

What’s new for 2022

Hyundai’s only addition for 2022 is the addition of the Elantra N. It is not yet available, but is expected to cost around $35,000 and come with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine which produces 276hp. This should get it from 0-62mph in just 5.3s and offers a top speed of 155mph. If that isn’t enough power, it will also include a dual-clutch with a launch control function, and an N Grin Shift button on the steering wheel that provides a 10hp boost to the engine for 10-20s.

Space

Thanks to a clever design that makes the most of interior space, this is an area in which the Elantra really outshines its competitors. The Elantra has 14.2 cubic feet of cargo space (compared to the Mazda3’s 13.2 and the Toyota Corolla’s 13.1), and 38in of legroom in the rear seats (compared to 35.1 in the Mazda3 and 34.8 in the Toyota Corolla), giving a comfortable rear-seat experience to passengers of all sizes.

Safety

The safety features of the Elantra impressed the IIHS so much that it was awarded their Top Safety Pick recommendation when equipped with LED headlights. It was also rated five stars by the NHTSA, so you can be confident that you are driving one of the safest cars available today.

For anyone looking for a compact sedan in 2022, there are few better options than the Hyundai Elantra. Spacious, fun to drive, and wonderfully safe, it is suitable for families and young professionals alike. With the Elantra N on the horizon, it will also appeal to those looking for speed and power. Visit Crain Hyundai of Bentonville to book your test drive today.
