A Breakdown of Tire Buying

From our Hyundai new car deals to our team of experts at Sansone Hyundai, we strive to make the car buying process easy. One of the areas we specialize in is tire buying, and why having the right type of tires can make all the difference for your driving experience. What should you look for in a new set of tires? For starters, we recommend ensuring your tires are ready to take on the weather of your local area. There are several types of tires for sale: all-season, winter, summer/performance, and off-road. Another thing to consider is the speed rating of your tires. The speed rating is the amount of friction- caused heat that your tires can endure. This friction is often a result of maneuvering at high speeds, which is why we recommend them for drivers of performance vehicles. Some drivers are looking to do more than just use their car to transport themselves from point A to point B. There is a large number of our customers who want their vehicle to take on the rough and tumble of off-roading, and in this instance, we’d suggest off-road tires. They are far more durable than street tires and are equipped with a more robust tread set to provide traction with various terrains. Lastly, if you want to use your vehicle for any heavy hauling, we’d suggest picking up a set of tires with a substantial load index. The load index is the amount of weight that your tires can support, and tires with a higher load index are going to have greater capacity than your standard tire. No matter what you’re looking for in a set of tires, our Hyundai parts experts will help you find the type that matches your lifestyle and driving style. At Sansone Hyundai, we make a concerted effort to provide you with the best dealership experience possible.

Common Road Hazards to Be Aware of

Few Hyundai dealerships in Avenel,  NJ offer an experience quite like we do at Sansone Hyundai. We specialize in tailoring our services to match the needs and expectations of our customers, and we go the extra mile to ensure our drivers are as knowledgeable as we are. One of the many subjects we discuss with our customers is the number of hazards that you may encounter on the road. Road hazards can range from potholes to a particularly sketchy patch of snow, and some of them can be avoided completely, thanks to awareness and clever design. A common road hazard is poor weather, and if you’re a New Jersey native, you’re no stranger to bad weather and road conditions. Snow and rain can all contribute to a dangerous driving experience, and being aware of current road conditions make all the difference in your safety. In either condition, we caution you to slow down, increase your following distance, and avoid standing water. In snow particularly, try to drive in the tracks that the vehicles ahead of you created. Another hazard to be cautious of when taking to the road are the other drivers. The road can be unpredictable, especially when you share it with so many others. Sometimes other drivers can even be reckless on the road, which as a result can put others at risk. Fortunately, Hyundai has designed their vehicles to provide next-level safety features to protect drivers from the many dangers of the road. A plethora of new Hyundai cars are packed with features like blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and forward collision-avoidance assist, all of which provide drivers with greater peace of mind. If you want to experience what it is like to sit behind the wheel of a Hyundai, our team of car experts at Sansone Hyundai is more than willing to set you up with a test drive. We are proud of what Hyundai has to offer and are happy to demonstrate why Hyundai continues to be a leading manufacturer in the industry.

How to Prepare for Your Next Road Trip

At Sansone Hyundai of Avenel, NJ we train our Hyundai car dealers to tailor their services to meet the unique needs of our customers. As such we specialize in more than just selling great cars, we also provide expert automotive advice as well, and to us, few pieces of advice are quite as useful as knowing how to prepare your car for a road trip. In our opinion, the best way to see the country is to take to the road. Sure flying is faster, and going by train may be easier, but the best way to experience travel is by road tripping. That said, long-distance driving should not be taken lightly, and before you embark you should be sure your car is ready for the journey. There are many forms of maintenance you should do before hitting the pavement, but one of the most important things you can do is to have your oil changed. Motor oil is a crucial motor fluid responsible for the smooth function of your engine. By swapping having your oil changed out every 5,000 miles you can ensure the long-term health of your engine, and enjoy a far smoother ride. Another bit of useful servicing your car could use before a road trip is to have your engine’s air filters replaced. Your engine requires clean air to function properly, and it is the job of the air filters to provide that clean air. Unfortunately, these air filters can become clogged with debris, and as a result, push your engine to work harder than is necessary. To avoid this, we recommend having your air filters inspected and changed by a technical professional before you hit the road. Whether you’re preparing for a road trip, or just need regular inspection, our Hyundai service department at Sansone Hyundai has got you covered. It is our goal to fulfill all of your automotive needs, pre-road-trip maintenance needs included.

2019 Hyundai Tucson for Sale in Avenel, NJ

At Sansone Hyundai, we strive to bring true customer service excellence to every person that walks onto our dealership. In our state-of-the-art showroom we offer a plethora of new and used Hyundai cars that far exceed expectations. One of these mold-breaking vehicles is the 2019 Hyundai Tucson, a compact SUV that is on the cutting edge of the modern driving experience. The modern SUV is far and away from what SUVs promised in the past. Once upon a time, SUVs were oversized pieces of machinery that guzzled gas and pumped out horsepower without a second thought of fuel economy. Times have certainly changed, and the 2019 Hyundai Tucson is evidence of that. The 2019 Hyundai Tucson is a sleek compact SUV with a starting fuel economy of 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. There once was a time when these numbers would have been better suited for a sedan, not a flagship SUV. Standard models of the Hyundai Tucson are equipped with a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine which provides a reasonable range of powering offering up 161 horsepower and a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. The Hyundai Tucson also comes with a suite of modern features that for other models are considered premium add-ons. Features like active lane control and automatic braking both come as standard, making for some pretty stress-free driving. The upgraded interior is quite the offering as well, as 6-way adjustable seats and a 7.0-inch infotainment screen come as standard as well. The 2019 Hyundai Tucson is quite the vehicle, and you can test drive it today at our Hyundai dealership. At Sansone Hyundai, we are proud of the vehicles that we offer, and are excited to help you drive home with one.

Road-Trip Features

If you’re looking for some of the best Hyundai new car deals, and a Hyundai dealership that has your best interest in mind, Sansone Hyundai should be your first pick. Every day, we strive to find the vehicles that best fit our customers, and in doing this we understand that every driver is different. Of all the different kind of drivers that we get into our dealership, those who are looking to use their car as a road-tripper often ask the most out of their vehicle; and that is far from a bad thing. There are plenty of things to look for in a road-trip-ready vehicle. For starters, fuel economy should be on the top of the list. The greater your fuel economy, the less often you’ll have to stop for a refill, and the less money you’ll spend in purchasing fuel. Another thing to look out for is cargo and passenger space. Having minimal space can dramatically hinder your long-term road tripping plans. Lastly, we recommend that hopeful road trippers pick up something that is equipped with an AWD drivetrain in order to ensure greater versatility on the road and off. Of all the vehicles in our dealership that fit this description, the 2019 Hyundai Kona is our top recommendation. This sleek compact SUV earns a quite reasonable 26 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

How to Keep Your Car Running Smoothly All Summer Long

As a leading NJ Hyundai dealership, our team at Sansone Hyundai is proud to provide our customers with more than just a generous selection of great Hyundai vehicles. We also offer up expert car care knowledge, and in our opinion, summer is the best time for expert automotive maintenance advice. With the summer season comes hot sunny weather, long days in the pool, plenty of BBQ parties, and of course, recommended car care. What does it mean to care for your car during the summer season? Well, our team of technical experts is here to give you professional advice on how to keep your car running smoothly all season long. For starters, you should ensure that your air conditioning is up to tackling the hot temperatures that at times can skyrocket to triple digits. While it is important to keep your engine cool, keeping you and all your passengers comfortable should take a close second. We suggest having your cooling system serviced. Your engine already runs pretty hot, and with the added summer heat, can experience excess strain. Your cooling system is designed to keep the powertrain running at optimal temperatures, however, the system isn’t perfect and requires maintenance. Whether you need to swap out your air filters or repair your radiator, having your cooling system inspected can ensure flawless driving conditions. Additional summer maintenance items include tire inspections and battery tests, as heat can do a number on these components. Of course, we also recommend that drivers receive regular maintenance from a service team that they trust. At Sansone Hyundai, our Hyundai service team goes the extra mile to ensure your vehicle continues running smoothly all year round, from summer to winter, and back again.

Hyundai Safety Features

At Sansone Hyundai, we understand that car buying can be pretty complicated and will go above and beyond to make the process as simple as possible. Our Hyundai car dealers are skilled in customer service and will help you find the vehicle that best matches your lifestyle. Of all the determining factors in the car buying process, safety is near the top of the list. Safety technology has transformed dramatically over the years. In the past we may have been satisfied with just airbags and seatbelts, now, things like rearview cameras are considered standard. Hyundai is at the cutting edge of this safety technology revolution and offers a wide variety of features in their family lineup. One popular safety feature found in our Hyundai vehicles near Edison, NJ is lane keeping assist. This feature uses an array of hardware and software to detect the lane lines of the road and will adjust the wheel accordingly to keep you within your lane. As a result, the dangers of lane drift can be severely mitigated. Driver attention warning is a standard feature found in select Hyundai models. This alerts the driver when their attention has drifted off the road. As a result, sleepy driving and distracted driving can be reduced. Blind-spot collision warning is mostly an available option, designed to give drivers significant awareness of the road. This feature alerts drivers when another vehicle enters their blind spot, helping reduce the chances of changing lanes and colliding into another vehicle. These are just some of the exciting new safety features you can find in a Hyundai car or SUV. Our team at Sansone Hyundai is happy to give you an in-depth review of these features and how they offer you greater peace of mind when behind the wheel.

The Basics of Motor Oil Maintenance

At Sansone Hyundai, we have earned a reputation for providing our customers both local and beyond with the very best in automotive services. We’re a Hyundai car dealership that believes in the value of the customer experience, and strive to not just sell cars, but to share some much-needed automotive info. One of the most important pieces of information that you should carry with you when caring for your vehicle is the basics of motor oil maintenance. What is motor oil used for? Well, motor oil is a lubricant utilized by nearly every part of your engine to promote the smooth movement of various components. Motor oil, like all other motor fluids, becomes less effective over time, depleting, developing grime, and hindering its lubricating properties. Fortunately, by swapping out your motor oil once every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, you can avoid some of the long-term damages old motor oil can cause. That said, there is more to motor oil maintenance than just swapping it out on a regular basis. There are four different types of motor oil to be aware of: full synthetic, synthetic blend, conventional, and high-mileage oil. Full-synthetic motor oil is a motor oil used most by performance vehicles. Full synthetic motor oil offers the most lubrication, however, is often much more expensive than alternatives. Synthetic blend is the cheaper option, offering some of the benefits of a full synthetic with a smaller price tag. Conventional motor oil is used in a vast majority of vehicles, however, once your odometer exceeds 75,000 miles its time to transition to high mileage motor oil. High mileage motor oil is used to reduce emissions and help you avoid troublesome oil leakages. Unsure of where to begin with motor oil maintenance? Don’t worry, at Sansone Hyundai our Hyundai service team has got you covered. They’ll keep up with your regular motor oil maintenance, and ensure your car continues to run smoothly long into the future.

What to Expect from the 2020 Hyundai Sonata

When you visit Sansone Hyundai, you can expect to find a team of auto experts who find incredible value in the customer experience. We’re a Hyundai car dealer that believes in doing more than just selling our customers new cars, but keeping them fully informed on everything Hyundai has to offer. One of the upcoming 2020 models to soon hit our showroom is the Hyundai Sonata. The Hyundai Sonata has earned a reputation providing owners with a reliable, comfortable, and particularly fulfilling driving experience. Since 1985, the Hyundai Sonata has continued to excel in providing the ideal sedan, and the 2020 iteration is expected to be no exception. One look at the design of the 2020 Hyundai Sonata, and you’ll see Hyundai’s commitment to improving the appeal of the sedan. As drivers move towards SUVs, the 2020 Hyundai Sonata stands to be a substantial challenger to the growing trend. Sleek and angular, the new Hyundai Sonata looks more like a performance vehicle, and the promise of a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine seems to confirm this transition. This 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is expected to provide drivers with an estimated 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The 2020 Hyundai Sonata is expected to be packed with plenty of technology as well, including an innovative smart-phone entry system, which can allow you to use your smart-phone as a kind of digital key. Unfortunately, there is still a lot we don’t know about the newest Hyundai Sonata. That said, you can test drive earlier models and other Hyundai cars at Sansone Hyundai to edge off your anticipation. At Sansone Hyundai, we’re always excited to show our customers all that the Hyundai family lineup has to offer.

The Car Buying Process: Engine Types

At Sansone Hyundai, we understand a lot goes into the car buying process. Fortunately, we’re a Hyundai car dealer that makes a concerted effort to make it as simple as possible. One of the most important aspects is purchasing a car with an engine type that matches your lifestyle. So you’re trying to buy a car, but you’re unsure of what engine type would best fit your needs. Don’t worry, you’re not alone; plenty of new car buyers are overwhelmed by the nature of engine types. While each powertrain is about as varied as the vehicle itself, they tend to sit under one of three major categories: four-cylinder, V6, or V8 engine. Each engine category is separated based on the number of cylinders at the engine’s disposal. As can be expected, the more cylinders, the more powerful. However, with extra cylinders, you’ll need to have extra fuel to supply power to them, which can affect fuel economy. So, in most cases, four-cylinder engines are going to be better about fuel consumption than V6 and V8 options. While these engine types differ greatly from one another, no engine type is superior. A four-cylinder model can be equally impressive as a V6, just in different ways. Not to mention that four-cylinder engines have come a long way in recent years, offering power ratings that rival several V6 motors. Do you take pride in driving? Or do you simply have a need for speed? Consider opting for a V6 or V8. Do you commute on a regular basis? A four-cylinder could be the better pick due to efficiency. No matter what kind of Hyundai car near Union, NJ you’re looking for, we’ll strive tirelessly to help you find the one that is the perfect match. At Sansone Hyundai, you can always expect the best in customer service.

How to Make the Most of Your Trade-In
