What does the Ioniq mean for Hyundai?
Hyundai recently unveiled its first dedicated green car, the 2017 Hyundai Ioniq. Available in Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and All-Electric versions, the Ioniq is a triple-threat in the low-carbon commuter car market. Although based on the very popular Elantra sedan, the Ioniq hatchback has its own unique styling depending on which drivetrain option you choose. For example, the purely electric option, named the Ioniq Electric, has a different front fascia, push buttons instead of a shift lever, and an 99-kW (120-hp) electric motor. Combined with the 28-kWh battery pack, the Ioniq Electric is rated with a range of 110 miles.
The Ioniq Hybrid has a 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine as well as a 32-kW electric motor which generate a combined 139 hp. This version is expected to be the most popular option (Hyundai is certainly building more of these than the other models), and it will compete directly with the extremely popular Toyota Prius. The Plug-In Hybrid option has a larger battery pack and a more powerful electric motor and should achieve a range of 25 miles in electric-only mode before the gasoline engine kicks in. For many Americans, this will be allow their entire commute to run purely on electricity while giving them the flexibility of a longer range for weekend trips. Even those who travel more than 25 miles to work will love how much gasoline they save between driving in electric only mode and the extremely fuel-efficient gasoline engine. Official fuel economy ratings or not yet available, but its competitor, the Prius, is rated in the 50-54 mpg range depending on the model and driving conditions, so many expect the Ioniq’s fuel economy to fall within a few mpg of that range.

Hyundai HPP Extended Warranty
Irwin Hyundai is proud to offer the official Hyundai HPP Warranty, fully back by Hyundai. HPP stands for “Hyundai Protection Plan” and is a factory-backed warranty valid at every single franchised Hyundai dealer in the entire United States! HPP is better, longer, and more comprehensive than the original new car warranty issued by Hyundai. Due to the tiered pricing structure of the HPP contract, the earlier you purchase the warranty, the cheaper it is! As an added bonus, the HPP can be financed at 0% for 12 months!
There are 4 different HPP contracts which provide different levels of protection for your Hyundai. The Powertrain HPP covers the 55 components which make up the powertrain (engine, transmission, etc.). For added peace of mind, we also offer the Silver HPP which covers 82 components and the GoldPlus HPP which covers 216 components. If you want the most comprehensive HPP contract available, the Platinum HPP covers over 500 components!
HPP is safe, easy, and convenient. Once the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for your car is entered in Hyundai’s computer system, any Hyundai technician in the US can validate your contract. HPP pays the Hyundai dealer directly, meaning that you do not have to pay the dealer and wait for reimbursement, which saves you time and hassle. All HPP repairs are performed by Hyundai technicians using OEM Hyundai parts; no aftermarket parts will be used!
The HPP is fully transferable through the life of the contract and can be transferred to another private party. Additionally, HPP can be cancelled at any time for a refund.

Maximize Your Fuel Economy
Gas prices may be at their lowest levels since 2010, but why spend more than you have to? With that in mind, here are some helpful tips to maximize your fuel economy. And best of all, most of them are free!
This may surprise you, but how you drive plays a huge role in the kind of fuel economy you can expect. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, aggressive driving can lower your efficiency by as much as 33% on the highway and about 5% around town. Aggressive driving is defined as a pattern of speeding combined with rapid acceleration and braking. If you stomp on the gas when the light turns green and then stomp on the brakes to stop again, you are going to use a lot more fuel then someone who accelerates and decelerates more gently.
On a related note, observing the speed limit can help you improve your fuel economy by 7-14%. Every vehicle achieves its optimal fuel economy at a slightly different speed, but a good rule of thumb is that vehicles tend to do best in the 50 – 55 mph range, and their fuel economy plummets at speeds in excess of 55 mph.
Avoid hauling cargo on your roof. A large roof-top cargo box can reduce fuel economy by as much as 25% on the interstate, whereas rear-mounted cargo boxes will only reduce fuel economy by up to 5%. On the subject of cargo, removing excess weight from the car is good for a couple of percentage points in fuel economy. It might be time to take those golf clubs out of the trunk!
Keep your tires properly inflated. Check your tire pressure regularly, and fill your tires whenever they fall below the recommended rating listed in your owner’s manual. If you can’t find your owner’s manual, the recommended air pressure is usually also listed on a sticker on the driver’s side door jamb. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, keeping your tires properly inflated can improve your fuel economy by up to 3.3%. More importantly, maintaining proper tire pressure is an important safety consideration, as it allows your tires to function the way they were designed to. As an added benefit, keeping your tires properly inflated will prolong the life of your tires. Not bad for a couple quarters!
By making sure to use only the recommended grade of motor oil, you can improve your fuel economy by 1-2%. You need to change the oil anyway so you don’t ruin the engine… so make sure to put the right kind in.
Just by using the right oil and keeping up with your tire maintenance, you can expect fuel savings of around 4-5%. But if you really want to save on gas, make sure your engine is properly tuned. A faulty oxygen sensor can make you lose as much as 40% efficiency, which is enough to make that new oxygen sensor pay for itself and then some.

Irwin Hyundai of Laconia, NH is proud to announce the arrival of the all-new 2015 Hyundai Sonata!
The new Sonata boasts several subtle improvements over the outgoing car; it is1.4 inches longer and 1.2 inches wider than the outgoing car, and rides on a 0.4-inch longer wheelbase. According to Hyundai, 51% of the steel in its body is of the advanced high-strength variety. Hyundai says the new Sonata will be safer than ever, too, thanks to the stiffer body as well as new driver knee airbags and a host of electronic safety systems, including blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning, radar cruise control, and automatic high beams.
The 2015 Sonata has 3 available engine configurations. The naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter variety is the most powerful, clocking in at 190-horsepower. Hyundai will also offer a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a hybrid engine.
Hyundai’s engineers have worked diligently to improve the ride experience by upgrading the suspension and chassis. The result is a reduction in road noise, and an increased response in steering, braking, and high-speed maneuvering.
In terms of technology and convenience, the 2015 Sonata has an available hands-free smart trunk. The trunk will automatically open when it senses your Proximity Key behind the vehicle within 3 feet of the bumper for more than 3 seconds. And of course, the 2015 Sonata will offer touchscreen navigation, rearview camera, satellite radio, integrated Bluetooth, and much more.
With a starting MSRP of $21,150, the 2015 Sonata is an attractive price point, and comes with all the benefits of America’s Best Warranty.
The 2015 Hyundai Sonata will continue to be built with pride in Alabama.
