If you like the idea of driving an electric vehicle around Washington DC, take a look at the Hyundai Kona EV. This Hyundai vehicle is very impressive, and it can be practical as well, given its versatile cabin, great range, and modern technology. All the new trims run on the same type of powertrain. The electric motor can provide the Kona with 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. With this kind of capability, the vehicle feels very fast and responsive. The SE is the first trim in the lineup at Fitzgerald Hyundai in Rockville. It uses 17-inch alloy wheels and features LED daytime running lights. It's also fortunate to have heated side mirrors which come in handy during frosty Arlington, VA mornings. In its cabin, you'll find cloth seats and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Both the driver's seat and front passenger's seat have heating elements to keep you cozy during your drive in Alexandria, VA. You can get a lot of use out of the eight-inch touchscreen, which comes with SiriusXM, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth. The SEL feels more luxurious with its sunroof and 10.25-inch touchscreen. That touchscreen has navigation integrated into it, so you can easily look up directions. In addition, the SEL is upgraded with wireless charging and the Hyundai Digital Key program. Through this program, your smartphone can be set up to act as a digital key fob. The Limited has the most to offer. It's the only trim to come with smart cruise control and a highway driving assist function. Its exterior is enhanced with LED headlights and LED taillights, and its cabin is decked out with leather seats. The front seats offer heating and ventilation for added comfort. Other little improvements can make a difference to the overall driving experience across Baltimore. Those extra features include a Harman Kardon sound system, a heated steering wheel, rain-sensing wipers, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a brand-new model at Fitzgerald Hyundai in Rockville. This car has a unique style with its rounded frame, and it should be able to attract a lot of attention around Arlington, VA, with its all-electric powertrain. This car is similar to the Ioniq 5, which has already impressed many customers in Baltimore. They have the same type of platform as well as similar battery packs. These models both have spacious cabins, though the Ioniq 6 isn't quite as large as the Ioniq 5 in terms of passenger volume and cargo space. It still has plenty of room for your passengers and gear, and notably, it has a longer wheelbase than its counterpart. Both the Ioniq 5 and 6 are available with many configurations as to how much power and range they have. When you look at maximum range, the Ioniq 6 pulls ahead. One of its configurations allows it to travel 361 miles around Washington DC on a full charge. The Ioniq 5 does very well in this regard, too, as it has a maximum range of 303 miles. These two vehicles are available with all-wheel drive, and if you take advantage of this type of enhanced drivetrain, your range will decrease slightly. The differential in range isn't very significant when comparing the AWD models of the Ioniq 5 and 6 around Alexandria, VA. We're excited about what the future holds. The Ioniq 6, just like the Ioniq 5, brings so much to the table. This car has a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, and it features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. It's also able to have wireless charging, a digital key program, and a Bose premium audio system. In addition, it's very capable, and it can make up to 320 horsepower. Let us know if you'd like to hear more about this new EV.

April has really come and gone quickly here in the Baltimore, MD area. With so much going on, you'll be forgiven if you've forgotten about seasonal service and care for your Hyundai or other vehicle you drive around Washington D.C. and Alexandria, VA. But it's never too late for a checkup at the service center at our Rockville, MD Hyundai dealership. Simply schedule a visit today and we'll get you in as quickly as we have an opening for any type of routine maintenance, a car wash, and more as you head out this spring around D.C. or Arlington, VA. Typically we stress seasonal service and maintenance at the beginning of wintertime, when it's really important for your car's tires, brakes, transmission, and more to work, while we'll make sure you have the right windshield wipers and other amenities to deal with colder weather. But as temps rise and the sun stays out longer, it's a good time to check in on your Hyundai's A/C system before it gets really hot out there. We'll also swap out your winter set for summer tires, give your car a thorough wash – especially in the undercarriage where months and miles of driving over salt-covered roads can really have an impact – and a total checkup to ensure you're ready for the rest of springtime and for the summer. Whatever type of checkup you're planning this April or later this spring, we'll make it easy here at Fitzgerald Hyundai in Rockville. First, you can schedule service online from the comforts of your home in Baltimore or Arlington. From there, check out the various service specials we're currently running, helping you save as we get your Subaru ready for springtime driving and your travels well into the summer. Schedule service at Fitzgerald Hyundai today and we'll get your car ready to go this spring.

Fitzgerald Hyundai of Rockville encourages shoppers to check out our comparison of the Hyundai Kona vs. the Competition. The new Hyundai Kona is a popular compact crossover with lots of appeal due to its starting price, fuel efficiency, comfort, and user-friendly technology. Shoppers will find the new Hyundai Kona available here at Fitzgerald Hyundai Rockville. We encourage you to learn more about how this crossover compares to its top competitors and visit us at our dealership near North Bethesda, MD. Shoppers in our nation's capital of Washington DC will find Fitzgerald Hyundai Rockville less than 15 miles north. Offering Lots of What the Competition Doesn't To better show you the accolades of the Hyundai Kona, let us take one crucial point from each top competitor and compare it against our midsize crossover. While the Hyundai Kona does not stand alone in its class, it offers many advantages over these worthy challengers: Ford EcoSport: Despite its name, this compact crossover from Ford offers lower fuel economy over the Kona. Our SUV can travel up to 33 mpg on highways outside Alexandria. Whereas, the EcoSport travels up to 29 mpg on the highway. Chevy Trax: Chevrolet SUVs generally do not earn as many accolades for its fuel economy, but the Trax does come close. However, if you want to enjoy more standard features for a lower starting price, the new Hyundai Kona is the SUV you want. Honda HR-V: The HR-V is a versatile crossover with a comparable powertrain, but Arlington drivers may notice it falls short on standard features. The Kona comes standard with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and a host of driver-assistive safety features. The comparable Honda Sensing suite and smartphone integration only come standard on select trims of the HR-V. Nissan Kicks: The Kona outperforms the Kicks in terms of powertrain and warranty coverage. If you want to enjoy more comprehensive coverage for twice the time frame of the Nissan warranty bundle, then you will appreciate Hyundai Assurance.
