2020 Hyundai Sonata

When it comes to picking out the best vehicle, a Hyundai Sonata is no doubt at the top of the list. While the times keep changing and more smart products come available to make life easier, we have added new features to the 2020 Hyundai Sonata to be sure to stay ahead of the game and make your driving experience stress free.

1. Fuel-Efficient

 

You drive your car to work to make money, but you know some of that money will have to go to gas. No worries, now you can get better gas mileage than before! Driving this car, you can get 27 mpg in the city and up to 36 mpg on the highway.

2. Painless Parking

 

Parking your car can be annoying, especially when someone parks close enough that your mirrors almost touch. Our team has come up with a solution to bypass that problem for you.

With the new key fob, you will have the ability to start and move your car out of the parking spot without squeezing your way into the driver’s seat. Oh, and no need to worry about it hitting anyone during the process; the car will come to a complete stop if it detects something or someone in front of it.

3. Phone Charging Port

 

These days everyone has some type of charging port in their vehicle but packing around the right charging cord can be a hassle, and an overheated phone can be an even bigger concern.

The wireless charging station in the 2020 Hyundai Sonata charges at twice the speed and includes a cooling fan; that way, you can stay connected without any trouble.

4. Blind Spot Assistance

 

The dangers of traveling and switching lanes can be stressful. The 2020 Sonata is here to help! There’s a camera system that turns your speedometer into a side-viewing screen with just the switch of your turning signal.

This camera allows a 25-degree additional view around your car without even turning your head.

5. Digital Key

 

Driving this car means being able to go keyless. Now you can simply download the app and unlock your car without fumbling around and looking for your key.

6. Pricing Made Just for you With the 2020 Hyundai Sonata

 

You probably think that a brand new car with so many great features will be expensive, right? But, we understand that buying a new car comes with a budget, so we put this car together with you in mind. The price starts as low as $22,000 and tops out at $35,000 with all the bells and whistles.

2020 Hyundai Kona

When analyzing the field of the subcompact SUVs, the competition is stiff. However, we can say with confidence that the 2020 Hyundai Kona sits comfortably in the upper echelon of its class thanks to the smooth ride, great handling, and other impressive features it delivers. Keep reading to find out why we think this crossover vehicle could be the perfect fit for you!

Smooth Driving Experience

 

You might think that driving a smaller SUV would make your ride a lot more sensitive to the external factors that tend to distract you or make your drive less pleasant. Fortunately, the 2020 Kona does an excellent job of separating the cabin from the bumps and noises of the road.

The smaller body frame gives it a little extra jump off the go, but this doesn’t result in an uncomfortable ride. The suspension is well-tuned to accommodate for this so drivers and passengers are left to enjoy a smooth and peaceful drive.

Optimal Engine Performance

 

Under the hood, the 2020 Kona does not disappoint and as stated earlier, gives drivers a decent punch off the gas pedal. The SE and SEL trim come with a four-cylinder engine that carries with it a respectable 147 horsepower, and both are six-speed automatic.

A turbocharged four-cylinder engine lays under the hoods of the Limited and Ultimate trims and each carries 175 horsepower with them; both of these trims are seven-speed automatic. Overall, the engines run smoothly and the gearshift is quick and seamless.

Seductive Exterior

 

The 2020 Kona is easily the best looking vehicle in its class. The contours of the compact body are sporty and tie in nicely to front LED lights and a big grill. The Kona also comes in some unique colors that will definitely turn heads on the road.

Upgraded Interior Design

 

Matching the cabin of the 2020 Kona with the appeal of the exterior was no easy task, but Hyundai nailed it. The seating is made from quality materials and provides excellent support while the driver has more control functions built into a leather-wrapped steering wheel that features contrast stitching.

The Kona also outperforms many of its competitors when it comes to cargo space, as it can hold an impressive number of suitcases and bags without needing to fold the rear seats down.

Connectivity

 

To add to the appeal of the Kona’s cabin is a user-friendly (touchscreen) infotainment system. A seven-inch screen is standard on the SE, SEL, and Limited models while the Ultimate adds an inch to its touchscreen. Both infotainment systems are compatible with Android and Apple mobile devices.

Excellent Safety Rating

 

Of course, no amount of bells and whistles matter unless you are riding in a vehicle that keeps you as safe as possible. The 2020 Kona was awarded a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and was also named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

If you want to get a firsthand look at why so many drivers are raving about the 2020 Kona, don’t waste another second! Call Mike Kelly Hyundai today to book your test drive!

On the whole, the EPA estimates the vehicle gets 33 mpg city and 41 highway.

Safety and Reliability

 

The Accent keeps its passengers safe with standard features such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control. The Limited trim adds more advanced safety systems, such as forward-collision avoidance with automatic braking. You’ll enjoy Hyundai’s renowned warranty on all models: a five-year, 60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

The 2021 Hyundai Accent proves that you can get a cost-effective car without sacrificing looks and features. Stop by Mike Kelly Hyundai to test-drive one and see for yourself.
