Hyundai IONIQ 6

Streamlined, Sophisticated, Sustainable:
2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6

After the success of the Hyundai IONIQ 5, it’s no surprise that Hyundai is continuing its push toward vehicle electrification.

Preston for Life
2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6

The Future of Driving

Some may be quick to call the Hyundai IONIQ 6 an electric sedan, but Hyundai maintains that the vehicle introduces a new category of vehicle: the Electrified Streamliner. Its exterior design is aerodynamically sculpted yet simple, featuring sensuous curves and close attention to detail. The real showstopper is the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 interior. Hyundai wanted to create a cocoon-like cabin that inspires mindfulness. Instead of focusing on a one-style-fits-all approach, the interior was designed for each driver to satisfy their unique preferences. Thanks to the elongated Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), designers were able to design the interior with optimized legroom and plenty of space to get comfortable. The Electrified Streamliner will contain Dual Color Ambient Lighting, which provides illumination in over 64 colors and six dual color themes. Over 700 Parametric Pixels can be found throughout the entire design of the Hyundai IONIQ 6, such as in the head lamps, rear combination lamps, vent garnishes, and more. There is no exact 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 release date yet, but Hyundai confirmed the EV will be available early 2023. Stay on the lookout for more information from Preston Hyundai about specifications, reservations, and more in the near future!

To Buy Or To Lease?

So, you’re ready to transition to a vehicle that better fits your lifestyle but are debating whether to buy or lease? There are several factors to consider when purchasing and leasing a car in Maryland, and the finance experts at Preston Hyundai have some insights that may help you make a decision. Review the pros and cons we’ve provided, and see which route best fulfills your needs in a vehicle. Then, contact us with any questions, and we’ll provide you with special Frog Incentives for the ultimate dealership experience.

Preston for Life

Financing a Hyundai

Buying or financing a car allows you to own your vehicle. If you choose to purchase your next vehicle, you are responsible for any repair costs once your warranty expires. The longer you possess your vehicle, the more it depreciates in value, but once it’s paid off, you end up paying less for the car than you would a lease. There are many advantages to buying a car, such as:

  • The long-term cost is less than leasing.
  • You can modify the car as much as you want.
  • You have more flexibility because you hold the title.
  • No excess mileage penalty.
  • Applying it toward a trade-in for your next purchase.

Leasing a Hyundai

When leasing a car in Maryland, there are several things to consider, such as driving habits, preferences, price, and term length. You’ll want to ensure your Hyundai remains in mint condition and within the chosen mileage limitations throughout the lease term to save yourself from costly fees at lease end. You will not own the car during a lease, so you won’t have the option to personalize it as you wish. On the bright side, there are many benefits to leasing a car in Maryland, such as:

  • Often having a lower monthly payment.
  • Staying current with the latest technology and features.
  • Choosing your term length (typically 1-3 years).
  • OEM warranty is included throughout your lease.
  • Fewer maintenance costs.

Shop Hyundai Hybrid & Electric Vehicles

what is the difference between a hybrid car and an electric car

Hybrid Or Electric?

Both hybrid and electric vehicles are highly efficient, but how they are powered differs slightly. Preston Hyundai is happy to share what the difference is between a hybrid car and an electric car, and showcase a few of our vehicles engineered with these powertrains. Our inventory has a considerable amount of each in stock, so you can experience firsthand what the difference is between a hybrid car and an electric car. Let’s first take a look at both of these powertrain technologies.

Preston for Lifenew Hyundai hybrids and electric

Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles are fueled 100% by gasoline, but also have an electric motor to help with acceleration and regenerative braking. Both systems work together, and the battery acts as a generator. For example, whenever you press the brake, that energy is regenerated and stored in the battery to use for your next acceleration. Our lineup of Hyundai hybrid models are copious, from the sporty Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, the Hyundai IONIQ Hybrid hatchback, and spacious Hyundai Sonata Hybrid sedan to the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid SUVs. In addition, there are several plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) that essentially reverse the roles, putting electric energy as the priority and gasoline secondary.

Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EV) have a large battery and a powerful electric motor that delivers enough performance and range, without the need to stop for gasoline. Another fact regarding what is the difference between a hybrid car and an electric car is that EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions. Charging is supported by Electrify America, providing a network of DC fast-charging stations across the nation. Check out the all-new Hyundai Kona Electric* SUV for an EPA-estimated range of 258 miles⁠ when you want a fun and versatile vehicle. Or explore the Hyundai IONIQ Electric** hatchback for 170 miles of EPA-estimated range.
