The Hyundai Accent has long been a favorite of drivers looking for a reliable, practical vehicle that's easy on gas but still has enough style and flair that it's fun to get around in. With the new 2022 Hyundai Accent, Hyundai has delivered on all of these fronts once again and has even added some great new features to make the Accent experience even more fun and functional than ever before! Read on to hear about a few of our favorite features of the new 2022 Accent. 1. Phenomenal Fuel Economy One of our favorite features of the 2022 Accent is its impressive fuel economy ratings. With the automatic transmission, the 2022 Accent gets up to 41 mpg on the highway, and 33 in the city, for a combined rating of 36 mpg. (The manual model comes in just under that, with an EPA city/highway rating of 29/39 mpg). This impressive fuel economy means you can rest easy that you'll get where you're going in the new Accent without breaking the bank at the pumps! 2. Upgraded Standard Infotainment System The 2022 Accent now comes with a few extra bells and whistles, standard even in its most basic trim, which previous models did not have. This includes a 5-inch color touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth capability and a backup camera, as well as standard steering wheel-mounted audio controls. An upgrade to the SEL trim makes available a 7-inch infotainment display, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for your Accent, so you can feel connected wherever you go! 3. Top-Notch Safety and Driver-Assistance Features With a four-star NHTSA safety rating and more standard and optional safety features than ever before, you and your passengers can feel safe and secure in your new Accent. We were impressed to see two optional safety features not often available in this segment: the automated emergency braking and forward-collision warning. The 2022 Accent also comes standard with a new anti-theft immobilizer this year, for additional peace of mind when parked! 4. The "Limited" Top Trim Level For drivers looking to upgrade their driving experience while maintaining the practicality, efficiency, and size segment of the Accent, the "Limited" trim level offers just that! Building on all the standard features of the trim levels below it, the Accent Limited also includes a hands-free smart trunk release, a proximity key with a push-to-start button, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and much more! With all the standard and optional features we've listed above and more, it's not hard to see why the Hyundai Accent continues to be one of the most popular cars in its segment.

Hyundai has been teasing the release of their first pickup truck on the American market for a few years now, so we're very excited to announce that they have finally introduced us to the new 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz: Hyundai's first-ever pickup truck! There's a lot to discover when it comes to the Santa Cruz, so we've put together a quick list of some noteworthy features to help you get started. Sleek, Rugged Styling One of the most unique compact pickup trucks on the market, the 2022 Santa Cruz is guaranteed to turn heads with its modern, yet undeniably rugged, exterior, which manages to look at home on city streets and on rough roads in the country. It resembles, more than anything, a mix between a pickup truck and a crossover SUV, and comes with the functionality of both. Drivetrain and Performance Seeing the new Santa Cruz in action, it's understandable that Hyundai has taken to calling it a "Sport Adventure Vehicle." This is a truck that can take just about anything you throw at it, and more! The standard engine is a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower, and 181 lb-ft of torque, which is impressive given its smaller stature than most other trucks in this segment. The Santa Cruz's drivetrain can also be upgraded to a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, if drivers prefer! Top-Notch Interior and Comfort The SUV gene in the Santa Cruz's DNA makes itself most apparent in the spaciousness and comfort of the interior. The four-door crew cab will have you feeling almost like you're in a Tucson, but with the added bonus of having a truck bed on the back!  The Santa Cruz also maintains a sleek, modern look with its all-digital gauge cluster and the use of premium-feeling materials (a nice touch that Hyundai has excelled at in recent years). State of the Art Infotainment and Safety Features The standard infotainment system on the Santa Cruz is an 8-inch touchscreen (this can be upgraded to a 10.3-inch screen) which comes with plenty of standard and optional features! This includes a standard rear view monitor (with parking guidance), available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and three free years of Hyundai's Blue Link service, which allows drivers to start their truck, lock/unlock doors, and more, all done remotely via an app (or even your at-home Alexa)! In terms of safety and security features, the Santa Cruz doesn't skimp there either. Standard features include a lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, while drivers looking for more driver assistance features can opt for the blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert. With all of the above in mind, you can see why we think the new 2022 Santa Cruz is one of the most exciting vehicles available in Hyundai's new vehicle lineup for this year! There's plenty more to discover when it comes to the Santa Cruz, or any of our other quality new and used vehicles, so come visit us at Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville and let us help you find the right vehicle for your driving needs today!

Stylish and Eye-Catching Good Looks The 2021 Hyundai Accent is available in SE, SEL, and Limited trim levels, each featuring a bold front fascia, sleek elegant profile, and stylish rear end that make it stand out from the crowd. With the SE, you get a chrome grille, 15-inch steel wheels with full covers, and body-color door handles and power mirrors. Go with the SEL for chrome trim, automatic headlights, fog lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, and heated mirrors. Stepping up to the Limited trim gets you LED headlights and daytime running lights, 17-inch wheels, a power sunroof, mirrors with integrated turn signals, a hands-free trunk release, and LED taillights. Punchy and Economical Performance With its compact size, agile handling, and lively performance, the Accent is fun to drive. It's ideal for negotiating city streets and getting into the tightest parking spots. Under the hood is a responsive 120-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 113 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. You can have the SE trim with a six-speed manual transmission or the intelligent variable transmission (IVT) that comes standard with the other models. The Accent is frugal on fuel, and with the IVT, you'll get up to 33 mpg, while heading out on the highway will reward you with up to 41 mpg. Modern and Spacious Interior Inside, the Accent is deceptively roomy and seats five people in comfort. The trunk offers 13.7 cubic feet of luggage space, or for a bigger cargo area, you can lower the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks.

One of the most important aspects to consider when buying a new car is how safe it's going to be. With their new SmartSense suite of safety technology, Hyundai cars are some of the safest around, but there's peace of mind in knowing exactly what features your car has to keep you safe on the road. Here at your local Crain Hyundai dealer, we've put together a list of five innovative car safety features that come standard with your new Hyundai car. 1. Lane Keeping Assist Lane Keeping Assist is a safety feature designed to help keep your car in the center of your lane while driving. Lane Keeping Assist will detect if your vehicle begins to drift, and if your car ends up leaving your lane it will alert you with both a visual and an auditory cue. This feature can also help to correct your position in the lane by applying a subtle steering correction to bring you back into your lane if it detects that you have left it. 2. Smart Cruise Control In addition to Hyundai's standard cruise control system, some new Hyundais come equipped with the new Smart Cruise Control. This system works similarly to regular cruise control but has the additional feature of automatically adjusting your speed to keep you a safe distance away from the vehicle in front of you. When using Hyundai's Smart Cruise Control you can even set this distance for yourself, which keeps you in control of what a "safe distance" means to you! 3. Downhill Brake Control Downhill Brake Control is an exciting new safety feature for Hyundai drivers living in hilly or mountainous areas. When turned on, this feature will automatically slow your vehicle down to about 6 mph when traveling a steep hill, without the driver having to use the brake pedal. This allows you to concentrate fully on steering your car down steep inclines, allowing for easy and controlled descents down hills and twisty mountain roads. 4. Forward Collision Warning Another of Hyundai's most innovative safety features is the Forward Collision Warning system. This advanced safety feature is designed to prevent forward collisions by scanning the road in front of your vehicle and alerting you (and, if needed, automatically applying the brakes) if it detects a risk of a forward collision occurring. And, with this system's new design, it works both in town and at freeway speeds, to keep you safe no matter the situation! 5. Blind-Spot Collision Warning Hyundai's Blind-Spot Collision Warning system helps you keep your eyes on the road by automatically scanning and detecting the presence of vehicles in your blind spots and alerting you, with both visual and auditory warnings on the corresponding side of your car. These sensors work at high speeds, detecting cars approaching in adjacent lanes on the freeway, and while parking or backing up, alerting drivers to the presence of vehicles or pedestrians around your car. We understand the importance of safety and would be happy to talk you through any questions you have about Hyundai's new suite of safety features. Come visit us at Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville, and find your dream car today!

Hyundai has two great sedans in its lineup. The 2021 Elantra is a sporty small sedan, and the Sonata is a sleek midsize sedan. Both of these Hyundai's have a long list of standard features, come with advanced safety features, and offer the latest technology. Here is a comparison of the 2021 Elantra and the 2021 Sonata. The Exterior Features The Sonata and Elantra have slightly different exterior looks, but they share several features. Both come with LED taillights, heated side exterior mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, LED daytime running lights, and alloy wheels. Both are four-door sedans, but the Elantra is narrower than the Sonata. Even though it gained some length for the 2021 model, the Elantra is slightly shorter than the Sonata. The Engine and Performance The Elantra SE, SEL, and Limited models all come standard with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine with 147 horsepower. The new N Line has a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder with 201 horsepower, and the N trim has an even more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder that puts out 275 horsepower. The hybrid model will have a 1.6-liter gas engine and an electric motor. Power for the Sonata comes from a four-cylinder gas engine with 191 horsepower. A turbo four-cylinder gas engine with 180 horsepower is optional, and you can also opt for the hybrid version of the Sonata. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine and an electric motor that combines to generate 192 horsepower. The Technology Highlights Both the Elantra and the Sonata come standard with an 8-inch touch screen and Bluetooth. The Elantra comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Sonata has the standard wired version. A 10.25-inch touch screen is optional for either sedan, and you can also get navigation, an upgraded stereo system, and wireless device charging. An eight-speaker stereo is optional for the Elantra, and the Sonata has an upgraded 12-speaker stereo available.

Well-maintained tires usually last from three to five years. The only time you'll need to replace a tire sooner is if it becomes structurally damaged or excessively worn down. Keep an eye out for the following six signs that it's time to visit your local Hyundai dealership for a set of new tires. Bulges and Bubbles If you notice any bulges, bubbles, or blisters in your tire rubber, then it was likely caused by an impact while driving at speed. You might have struck a curb, pothole, or dent in a damaged road surface. Bubbling from such damage can occur in the tread section or in the sidewall. Unfortunately, bulges or bubbles indicate structural damage which puts the tire in danger of blowing out on the road, so you'll need to have the tire replaced. Cuts and Slices Every tire naturally accumulates tiny nicks over time. But if you notice any larger cuts, then the tire might be dangerously weakened. Cuts and slices are caused by debris and sharp objects on the road and are more likely to happen with overinflated tires. A deeply-sliced tire will need to be replaced, especially if you can see the under-fabric beneath the rubber. Cracks Barely visible cracks are no cause for concern. But when cracks become clear and more than an inch in length, you'll need to consider swapping out your tire. This is because cracks are generally a sign that the rubber is beginning to break down, losing its chemical components and flexibility. The kind of harm that can lead to cracks can happen over time with exposure to UV light, any sort of oils or chemicals, or rapidly fluctuating temperatures. Cracks can also be a symptom of advanced dry rot. Embedded Objects Sharp rocks, nails, pieces of wire, and other metallic debris can sometimes become embedded in a tire. Any embedded object usually means the tire is punctured. In these cases, the air is often trapped from escaping by the object itself. One small hole from an embedded nail might be repairable, but if the tire also has other signs of damage or further embedded objects, then you'll need to get it replaced. Inexplicable Air Loss Ideally, it's wise to inspect the air pressure of your tires at least once a month. If you notice inexplicable air loss, try to work out the cause. It might be due to a hole or cut hidden deep in a tread void, a poor seal where the tire meets the wheel or a faulty valve stem. If you can't figure out what's causing the loss of air, have a technician take a look. Tread Depth Reaches 2/32 of an Inch The tread depth of a new tire is usually 10/32 of an inch or more. After a few years of driving, this tread depth naturally wears down. The legal minimum is 2/32 of an inch because, at this depth of tread, your tire can no longer hold traction on road surfaces as well as it used to. You'll need to replace any tires with such diminished tread depth. To have your tires examined, rotated, or replaced by certified professionals, visit Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville. We're the region's number one dealership for Hyundai drivers.

A car's transmission relies on various components to move the power from the engine to the wheels. A regular transmission service from the qualified and experienced Hyundai technicians at your Hyundai dealer will save you money on gas and repairs. Below are the many benefits you will reap when your transmission is in good working condition. 1. Improves Your Gas Mileage It's a fact! You will save money at the gas pump if your transmission is in good working condition. If you take your car for regular services at the factory-recommended maintenance intervals, your Hyundai technician will inspect your transmission and replace the transmission fluid when necessary. Routine transmission maintenance will reduce the strain on the parts, allowing your engine to run smoothly, causing your vehicle to consume less gas, saving you money. 2. Saves You Money When your transmission is well-maintained, not only will you save money on gas, but also repairs. A transmission has many moving components, and when a part breaks or malfunctions, it could cost a heap of money to repair and, even worse, replace. When your Hyundai technician regularly checks your transmission, minor issues will be fixed early on before more damage is done, resulting in expensive repairs or replacements. With routine transmission inspections at the factory-recommended intervals, your Hyundai technician will prevent unexpected breakdowns and high repair costs, saving you heaps of cash. 3. Protects Components Transmission parts that are well lubricated will reduce friction that causes heat and wear. Over time transmission fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated. When transmission fluid is old and dirty, the fluid loses the ability to effectively cool and lubricate the moving parts. The lack of transmission fluid will cause friction and wear and affect your car's engine performance. By replacing the transmission fluid at regular intervals, wear is reduced, ensuring the smooth running of the components. 4. Optimizes Gear Function When transmission fluid gets old and dirty, it changes into a thick sludge that will clog up your car's gears and prevent the parts from moving smoothly. If you have an automatic transmission, you will find it difficult to shift gears and hear awful whining, humming, and buzzing. If you drive a car with a manual transmission, you will hear clunking and grinding noises. You may even smell a burning odor. The parts will be sufficiently lubricated with regular transmission inspections and fluid replacements, ensuring proper gear function. 5. Increases Vehicle Performance When your car's transmission is not working correctly, it will affect your vehicle's performance. When you step on the accelerator, your vehicle will feel slow and sluggish and can even jerk and shake when you change gears. Routine transmission maintenance services will ensure that your car performs optimally. When you take your vehicle for a service, the Hyundai technician will thoroughly inspect every transmission component and check for transmission fluid leaks. The transmission fluid will be topped off or replaced if necessary. Check your owner's manual for the transmission inspection and fluid replacement intervals, or ask your Hyundai technician for assistance. With regular transmission inspections, you will save tons of cash on gas and repairs and ensure your car is a pleasure to drive. Contact Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville today for a transmission check. Our qualified and knowledgeable Hyundai technicians will ensure that your Hyundai is in top running condition.

When you purchase a new Hyundai, you'll want to get familiar with all the features of your vehicle's warranty coverage. Your local Hyundai dealer can provide all the details and information you need on the standard car warranty, including additional services, maintenance, and the protection available. 1. Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty Coverage Bumper-to-bumper coverage is included with your Hyundai's standard warranty program. This coverage includes the replacement or repair of any part manufactured by Hyundai that's defective due to poor quality and materials that impact your car's performance. While almost all components of your vehicle are covered under this standard bumper-to-bumper warranty, regular wear and tear, oil changes, and routine maintenance are not included. 2. Radio, Navigation, and Audio Systems Your Hyundai's standard coverage includes protection for radio, navigation, and audio systems for a specified period. This standard warranty covers up to five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, for your car's DVD player, Bluetooth, navigation system, compact disc player, radio, sound system, and other related parts. If your vehicle includes additional features or systems, you can inquire with your dealership to confirm which items are included with this coverage. 3. Brake Pads, Filters, Belts, and Other Wear Items Standard coverage provides up to one year or 12,000 miles of coverage for wear items, including filters, clutch linings, brake pads and linings, belts, fuses, bulbs, and wiper blades. Adjustments to your vehicle and air conditioner refrigerant charges are covered for the same mileage and one-year time frame. Paint and batteries are covered for up to three years or 36,000 miles. Items included in the standard warranty are essential in keeping your car running safely. 4. Access to Roadside Assistance When you purchase a new Hyundai, you'll have access to roadside assistance, which provides emergency services in the event of a collision or repairs that require immediate attention. When you contact roadside assistance, it's essential to describe the details of your vehicle's problems, your car's location, mileage, VIN (vehicle identification number), and your name. Your Hyundai representative will provide immediate support, towing services, and the nearest dealer repair shop. 5. Warranty Coverage for Pre-owned Vehicles If the original warranty coverage remains in effect when a pre-owned car is purchased, this protection will continue for five years or up to 60,000 miles. Certified pre-owned vehicles may include additional protection, which is included in the total cost of the car. Once you purchase your Hyundai, your local dealer will provide all the warranty information included with your vehicle. You'll receive all the details of your car's protection and options for additional warranty protection. Your local Hyundai experts will provide all the support, warranty information, and options to upgrade your coverage.

Your car's engine requires a huge amount of air. The air mixes with the fuel in the combustion chamber and when the mix is ignited by the spark plugs, the resulting controlled series of explosions allows your car to move. For combustion to work efficiently, the air that reaches your engine must be free from dirt and debris, and your car air filter ensures the air is cleaned. When the filter starts to wear, your Hyundai dealer can replace it. Increased Gas Mileage Your air filter should trap pollen, dirt, and other debris and prevent them from reaching your engine. When your air filter is dirty or damaged, it prevents enough fresh air from reaching the combustion chamber. When you put your foot on the gas, fuel enters the combustion chamber and mixes with the air. For your engine to operate efficiently, you need a ratio of 14:1 air to fuel. If there isn't enough air for proper combustion, the excess fuel won't burn. This unburnt fuel is wasted as it's forced out of your exhaust. When your air filter is replaced, the new filter will allow enough clean air into your engine to raise the air to fuel ratio to its normal level. Your engine will use less gas, and you'll easily see this when you need fewer trips to the gas station to fill up. Smooth Idling Again When your air filter is dirty, your car's idling will be rougher than it should be. You'll also hear strange sipping or coughing sounds from the engine. These strange effects are caused by a poor air to fuel mix. As mentioned above, a lack of fresh air in the engine causes wasted fuel but also damages the spark plugs. The fuel-rich environment causes the fuel used to burn badly and your spark plugs become coated with a sticky black patina. Damaged spark plugs don't fire correctly, and this causes rough idling, and the odd sounds are made by the lack of air in your engine. When we replace your air filter, we would also replace your spark plugs. The new spark plugs will cause your engine to fire correctly, and your engine will idle smoothly and quietly again. Fuel Smell Will Disappear The fuel-rich mixture in the combustion chamber due to a dirty air filter will lead to some of the vapor escaping. This escaped vapor has a strong smell of fuel. In addition, the unburnt fuel forced out of the exhaust also adds to the fuel odor. When your air filter is replaced, the new filter will allow the air to fuel ratio to return to normal, and this will eliminate the heady fuel smell. There are numerous benefits to replacing a dirty air filter. An air filter is cheap and our technicians can fit the replacement very quickly. Call our service center today at Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville and we'll fit your new filter right away.
