Hyundai Named Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award Winner
Crain Hyundai of Bentonville is thrilled to announce that Hyundai has won two prestigious Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards this year. Being recognized by KBB is an honor, and hearing your name called as a winner is even sweeter. We are incredibly proud of Hyundai’s achievement and would like to acknowledge this well-deserved accomplishment.
Kelley Blue Book is the ultimate source for automotive research. From providing comprehensive information about all makes and models to offering reliable pricing data, they have it all covered. Millions of people turn to their trusted Blue Book Trade-In Values and Kelly Blue Book Price Advisor tool every day. As the gold standard in the industry, these awards carry a lot of merit.
After extensive research and test driving, KBB compiled a list of the top vehicles on the market today to make up the Best Buy winners. They want to help you make an informed decision when it comes to buying your next car. Their winners were chosen based on historical reliability and resale value, so you can feel confident buying one on their list.
Once all the awards were announced, we were thrilled to discover that KBB honored Hyundai with two top honors. Winning these awards is truly a testament to Hyundai’s excellence. Let’s dive deeper into why KBB awarded each of these incredible vehicles with a 2024 Best Buy Award.
Best Subcompact SUV: 2024 Hyundai Kona
It’s hard to beat the 2024 Hyundai Kona, and it looks like KBB agrees. Naming it the Best Subcompact SUV, they describe it as roomy and refined with upscale features that come standard. It has futuristic styling, including a high-tech cabin. Its price point, at $24,100, and excellent warranty help its case as a Best Buy Award winner.
Best Electric Vehicle: 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5
KBB loves the Hyundai Ioniq 5 so much that it’s now won Best Electric Vehicle two years in a row. Not only that, it won Best New Model when it debuted in 2023. Let’s see why KBB loves it so much. For an all-electric SUV, it has quick-charging ability and a retro-futuristic design. For $41,650, not only do you get a great starting price, but it comes with lots of tech, too.
Best 2-Row Midsize SUV: 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
Another award winner is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. Named as Best 2-Row Midsize SUV, it was selected for its four powertrains spread across ten trim levels. It’s crammed full of tech and convenience features, all for around $38,200. It also earned points for having hybrid and plug-in models.

Test Drive a New Hyundai from Crain Hyundai in Bentonville at 3000 SE Moberly Lane
Thinking of a New Year’s resolution can be hard sometimes. It’s difficult to choose just one. Resolutions are meant to make us better or help us achieve a goal. Join a gym? Eating better? Less screen time? Hopefully, the resolution you choose will make you one step closer to being a better version of yourself in 2024.
At Crain Hyundai of Bentonville, we’re always looking for ways to make our customer’s lives easier. Whether that be through customer service, helping with tires, or providing parts, we want you happy. When thinking about resolutions, we thought we’d offer you up some driving-related resolutions, which are oftentimes overlooked or not thought of when it comes to making your list of New Year’s resolutions.
Start Your New Year in a New Hyundai from Crain Hyundai of Bentonville
What are you doing right now? I bet you’re reading this on your phone. We do everything on our phones now. Shopping. Socializing. Selling. The list goes on. And unfortunately, a lot of us are doing that while driving our Tucson. What on earth? There are even laws against using your smartphone while driving, so we think this one would be a good place to start.
One way to help you pay attention while driving is to put your phone away somewhere you won’t be tempted to grab it. Put it far enough away in the glove box or the back seat or in the console of your Kona. Even if you can get to your phone, putting it in a specific location each time will remind you that you should not be reaching for it.
Everyone is in a rush most of the time. This leads us to believe we must be superheroes and do business, make breakfast, and save the world all on the ride to the carpool line. Stop trying to save the world in your Santa Cruz and save yourself and your passengers from any accidents. Focus on the road and getting safely to your destination.
Another helpful tip is to use your drive time as your alone time. Use this quiet time to think about your day. If it’s in the morning, listen to your favorite podcast or morning show, hands-free, of course. If it’s on your drive home from work, reflect on the day and think about what you’re going to have for dinner. Don’t Google a recipe, just think about what ingredients you’ll need.

Three Hyundai Vehicles With Great Fuel Efficiency
If you’re in the market for a vehicle with exceptional fuel efficiency, your local Hyundai dealer has a range of options you’ll want to explore. From the fully-electric Ioniq 5 to the Tucson Hybrid, you’ll find something that will meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
Three Hyundai Vehicles With Great Fuel Efficiency
Ioniq 5
The all-electric Ioniq 5 gives an impressive range of up to 303 miles on a single charge, with 114 MPGe combined. With two years of complimentary 30-minute DC fast charging sessions from Electrify America, you can go a long way without dropping a penny at a gas pump. Drive modes let you decide if you want to minimize battery usage or prioritize performance.
A host of luxury features include dual-zone climate control, heated seats, mirrors and steering wheel, wireless smartphone connectivity, and full-color dual touch screens that let you seamlessly integrate your digital media. The Ioniq 5 is a modern car fully equipped for the demands of today’s world.
Tucson Hybrid
The Tucson Hybrid gets up to 38 miles per gallon with its 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder hybrid engine. Regenerative braking helps improve your efficiency by capturing energy that would otherwise be lost and using it to recharge your battery. And, particularly at lower speeds, the turbo/electric engine gives you a noticeable boost in torque and take-off.
HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Tucson Hybrid, and e-Handling technology gives you the Traction Control System that works with the hybrid electric motor to improve handling. The Tucson Hybrid can take you anywhere you want to go, off-road or on.
Sonata Hybrid
The sleek Sonata Hybrid sedan offers style and performance with impressive efficiency. At up to 54 miles per gallon on the highway, the Sonata Hybrid produces 192 combined horsepower from its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine. Both safe and stylish, the Sonata Hybrid was recognized as a 2023 Top Safety Pick by the IIHS and awarded a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating by the NHTSA.
Thanks to paddle shifters and the torque provided by the electric motor, particularly at lower speeds, the Sonata Hybrid drives more like a sporty coupe than a sedan. It may be practical, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to drive.
Keep Your Efficiency Up With Help from Your Hyundai Dealer
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your car’s efficiency as high as it can be. Regular oil changes, battery maintenance, and tire rotations all contribute to keeping your car operating at peak performance and help preserve your gas mileage. Your local service center can help make sure everything is operating as it should be to extend the life of your car.
Hyundai offers a range of fuel-efficient vehicles to meet every need. Stop by Crain Hyundai of Bentonville to take your favorite out for a test drive.
3 Benefits of Getting OEM Parts for Your Hyundai
Replacement parts are divided into two major groups, namely Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. When you visit your Hyundai dealer for a replacement part, we will always supply OEM parts only. We want to tell you more about the differences between these two parts and why OEM is the best choice for your car.
3 Benefits of Getting OEM Parts at Your Hyundai Dealer
OEM components Always Fit
OEM components are made by Hyundai. They’re manufactured to the same standards and tolerances as the original parts on your car. The only difference is the OEM components were designated as replacements rather than being used to assemble another Hyundai. Since these parts are identical, they will always fit correctly and work the same as your original parts.
Aftermarket parts are manufactured by a variety of different manufacturers. They’re designed as generic parts to fit several different vehicles makes and models. This can become a problem as there is no guarantee that an aftermarket part will fit your car. If you visit an independent mechanic for a repair, they will have to adjust the part to try and make it fit. An incorrect fitting part could cause damage to your car.
OEM Components Are Made to a Standard
When Hyundai designs a new model, the process involves tens of thousands of hours of design and engineering to make it perfect. Each component must meet a rigorous set of standards of quality and reliability. These components also undergo extensive testing and retesting until they’re ready to form part of a vehicle. Hyundai parts will always match the highest national and international standards.
Aftermarket parts, in contrast, are designed for their affordability and are then mass-produced. These parts will always be cheaper than OEM components as they don’t follow a set standard. They’re designed to copy the performance of a genuine part but use lesser-quality materials. The lack of standardization in aftermarket parts means you won’t receive a guarantee of their reliability or quality.
OEM Components Save You Money
This might seem strange, as OEM components cost more than aftermarket parts. The reason OEM components save you money is they last a long time, will not damage your car, and have reliable and carefully calculated replacement times. This allows you to plan for a part replacement with ease.
Aftermarket parts are cheaper in the short term, as we’ve seen, but they come with potential long-term costs. An aftermarket part could fail, and this will increase your repair costs as you’ll need to have a second repair performed. These parts can also fail and damage other components that will now have to be repaired.
The safety of you and your car is too important to trust unreliable replacement parts. Visit us at Crain Hyundai of Bentonville for safe, genuine parts.
