Hyundai HED-5 i-Mode Concept Car and your Hyundai Dealership

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

The 2008 LA Auto Show is proving to provide all sorts of interesting material to talk about at your East Brunswick area Hyundai dealer. One of the most exciting parts of the show was the unveiling of a new Hyundai concept car: the HED-5 i-Mode.

The HED-5 i-Mode is a six seat family crossover vehicle, and it features Hyundai’s first environmentally friendly, direct-injection powerplant. This 2.0 liter four cylinder engine is known as the Theta Turbo GDI, and it uses direct injection technology to improve fuel efficiency.

Direct injection technology works like this. The engine directs fuel directly into the cylinder. It does so in very precise and small volumes. This causes the engine’s performance to improve because of intake charge cooling. Because of this improved manner of internal combustion, exhaust emissions are reduced and fuel economy is increased.

What’s truly interesting about the Theta Turbo GDI is that it manages to produce plenty7 of power. The engine can produce as many as 286 hp, which is more than many of the six cylinder engines out there today. In addition, it uses CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) to add to its fuel economy.

The HED-5 i-Mode concept also features other new high-tech amenities, such as webcams, a wireless network, and a new “BayVision” glazing system for its headlight lenses.

Hyundai Dealership Talks Tire Aging

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The Hyundai dealer near East Brunswick cares about your tire safety. That’s why you need to take some time to think about the aging of your tires.

Even if you don’t drive that many miles in a given year, the structure of your tires is eventually going to degrade. When this happens, your tires are much more likely to go flat, blow out, or even cause a crash. For this reason, you need to be aware of your tires’ age.

There are a number of factors that go into the aging of tires. For example, heat and sunlight both accelerate the age of your tires. In fact, it is the heat from the road that, over time, causes tires to break down the most. In addition, tires tend to degrade faster in warmer climates, or if they’re not stored properly.

Interestingly enough, the aging of tires isn’t much of a concern for vehicles that experience a lot of driving. Those tires are going to need to be replaced long before the aging of the tires is an issue. It’s tires that are only used occasionally that have to worry about aging.

There are several situations in which you might find a tire that is at risk of aging problems. For example, the tires on an RV or a collector’s car might be at risk. Spare tires are also at risk, as they don’t get used very often.

Even if a tire has plenty of tread, it may still be well past its age. Generally speaking, you should have your tires checked regularly to look at their structural integrity in order to avoid problems of aging.

Hyundai Dealership Examines Hyundai History

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Your East Brunswick-area Hyundai dealer is excited to be associated with a company that has such a rich and varied history. While Hyundai in the United States has had its bumps in the road, the fact is that today’s Hyundai cars are known for their quality, reliability, and value.

Hyundai first appeared on the market in the United States in 1986. The Hyundai Excel, a subcompact car, was a market hit. It was one of the most affordable cars on the market at the time, and more than 100,000 Hyundai Excels were sold in the United States in the first seven months after its arrival.

Up until 1988, Hyundai cars had been developed in collaboration with other companies, such as Ford. Beginning in 1988 with the Hyundai Sonata, a midsize car, Hyundai began producing its own vehicles.

Hyundai’s image took a hit in the 1990s, with some believing that the vehicles weren’t reliable. Hyundai, rather than leaving the market, invested greatly in product improvements and new designs that would insure reliability.

That decision paid off. Today’s Hyundai vehicles are known for their reliability, as well as their performanc enad their quality. While Hyundai has a smaller fleet than other manufacturers, its purchase of Kia in 1998 expanded its offerings.

If you want a reliable vehicle at a price that won’t break the bank, visit your Hyundai dealership near East Brunswick.
