A great example of Hyundai’s commitment to design and innovation is the Heritage Series Grandeur. While this concept car isn’t available for sale, it’s a clear sign of how far Hyundai has come—and where it’s headed.
The Heritage Series Grandeur: Honoring the Past, Driving into the Future
To mark the 35th anniversary of the original Hyundai Grandeur (sold in the U.S. as the Azera), Hyundai designed the Heritage Series Grandeur—a concept car that blends 1980s retro style with cutting-edge technology. Though you won’t find it for sale, it’s a symbol of Hyundai’s passion for innovation and design.
Hyundai’s designers conceive innovative ideas by reflecting on past achievements, ensuring that each new model pays homage to its heritage while embracing modern technology.
This one-of-a-kind model takes the classic shape of the first Grandeur and reimagines it with:
- Parametric Pixel LED lighting
- A fully electric powertrain
- Burgundy velvet and Napa leather interior
- Wide digital displays and a built-in digital piano
- Sleek mirrors and warm bronze ambient lighting
The Heritage Series Grandeur pays tribute to the original grandeur of the 1986 model, celebrating its luxurious materials and design elements.
From the single-spoke steering wheel to the bold silhouette, the Heritage Series Grandeur is a perfect mix of old-school cool and futuristic function. And even though it’s a concept, its spirit can be found in every Hyundai we sell.

Hyundai Leads the Pack in 2025 IIHS Safety Awards: What North Little Rock Drivers Should Know
At Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock, we understand that safety is a top priority for Arkansas families. That’s why we’re proud to share that Hyundai has earned five 2025 Top Safety Pick+ awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). These prestigious honors recognize Hyundai’s commitment to protecting passengers in both the front and rear seats—something especially important for local drivers who rely on their vehicles for everything from daily commutes to weekend road trips across central Arkansas.
The IIHS awards highlight the importance of ongoing vehicle maintenance and routine safety inspections. Their updated crash tests, including the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation, are more rigorous than ever, ensuring only the safest vehicles earn recognition.
What’s New for 2025? A Stronger Emphasis on Rear Passenger Safety
For 2025, the IIHS updated its testing criteria, particularly regarding rear passenger protection. In the updated moderate overlap front crash test, a second dummy is placed in the back seat to represent a child or small adult. This helps assess how well back-seat passengers are protected during a collision. The back seat is an area where many vehicles fall short. The updated criteria also apply to small cars, which have earned recognition for their safety performance.
The IIHS aims to reduce deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes through these updated tests.
To win a Top Safety Pick+, vehicles must earn:
- A good rating in the updated rear crash test
- Good scores in updated side and small overlap front crash tests
- Acceptable or good pedestrian crash prevention (day and night)
- Good-rated headlights on all trims
This year’s criteria raise the bar. Hyundai is rising to the challenge by closing the safety gap for rear-seat occupants. The updated crash tests emphasize the importance of protecting second-row occupants.
Hyundai’s 2025 Top Safety Pick+ Winners
Despite tougher testing, these five Hyundai car models earned the top IIHS honor:
- 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (Electric)
- 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 (Electric)
- 2025 Hyundai Kona (Gas)
- 2025 Hyundai Tucson / Tucson Hybrid
- 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe / Santa Fe Hybrid (built after November 2024)
Manufacturers like Hyundai are committed to improving vehicle safety standards.
These models underwent rigorous crash testing, pedestrian detection evaluations, and occupant protection assessments. Their strong performance proves Hyundai’s dedication to engineering safe, reliable vehicles for Arkansas drivers. These models have earned good ratings in various crash tests.
Hyundai Motor Group Sets the Industry Standard
Along with Hyundai, Kia and Genesis (Hyundai’s sister brands) also earned IIHS awards—12 in total for Hyundai Motor Group, the most of any automaker. These accolades reflect a long-term investment in safety technology and real-world protection. The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) provides crucial safety ratings for new cars. It helps consumers make informed decisions.
Whether you’re navigating I-40 or heading toward the trails at Burns Park, these vehicles are built to keep you and your family safe. Safety professionals play a vital role in setting and maintaining these safety standards. This ensures that automakers continuously improve their safety features.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a nonprofit scientific organization dedicated to reducing motor vehicle crashes. They provide rigorous testing, research, and consumer education.
Hyundai SmartSense: Your Partner in Preventing Collisions
Many of Hyundai’s award-winning vehicles come standard with Hyundai SmartSense, an advanced suite of driver-assist technologies that helps prevent accidents and reduce injury.
Key features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Helps detect cars and pedestrians to prevent front-end crashes
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning – Monitors your blind spots
- Lane Keeping Assist – Helps you stay in your lane
- Rear Occupant Alert – Reminds you to check the back seat
- Side Airbags for Rear Passengers – Adds vital protection in side collisions
Some features are optional but highly recommended for enhanced safety.
As Cole Stutz, Hyundai’s Chief Safety Officer, says, “We want every passenger—front or back—to be safe.” That’s the Hyundai promise.
Ongoing research by the IIHS contributes to the development of these safety features. These features aim to reduce deaths and injuries from vehicle crashes.
Drive Confidently Through Central Arkansas
Whether you’re picking up the kids from school in Sherwood or planning a weekend drive to the Ozarks, Hyundai’s safety-first vehicles are built for your lifestyle. The IIHS’s updated testing includes a new rear-seat dummy to better simulate child safety. This underscores Hyundai’s commitment to all passengers, young and old. Policymakers play a crucial role in driving automotive safety standards, ensuring that vehicles meet stringent requirements to protect all occupants.
These vehicles excel in crash tests and are designed to help avoid accidents. Providing consumers with essential safety information is vital. It directly influences their purchasing decisions and helps them make informed choices about vehicle safety features.
The IIHS is dedicated to educating consumers, policymakers, and safety professionals about motor vehicle safety. This emphasizes the importance of knowledge dissemination through research and evaluation to reduce deaths and injuries from crashes.

AWD Capability: Stay in Control Anywhere

HTRAC AWD offers several benefits:
- Improved traction on wet and slippery roads such as rain, mud, or ice.

While all Palisade models can handle towing, choosing a higher trim provides added convenience and control.

- Check tire pressure on both the Palisade and trailer before starting your trip.

- Seating for up to seven passengers, making it a great option for families or group travel.
- Premium materials give the cabin a luxury feel.
- Advanced safety features, including nine airbags and driver monitoring technology for added protection.
Hyundai has also hinted that the Initium will include the latest technology for a connected and comfortable driving experience.

For nearly 30 years, Hyundai has been a leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology. The Initium is part of Hyundai’s long-term plan to expand hydrogen-powered vehicles worldwide.
Hyundai is also working to increase hydrogen fueling stations to make these vehicles easier to own. South Korea already has over 200 hydrogen stations, and Hyundai is helping to expand the network globally.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe vs. 2025 Toyota Highlander: Which SUV is Right for You in North Little Rock?
Finding the Best SUV
If you’re looking for a spacious, tech-savvy, and capable SUV, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2025 Toyota Highlander are two strong contenders. Both offer modern features, powerful engine options, and a comfortable ride. But which one is the best fit for drivers in North Little Rock?
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with its bold design, turbocharged powertrain options, and off-road-ready XRT trim. The Toyota Highlander, known for its reliability, comes at a higher price and lacks an off-road trim like the Santa Fe. Let’s compare these two SUVs to see why the Santa Fe is the smarter choice.
Performance and Powertrain Options
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe offers two engine choices, giving you options for both efficiency and performance:
- 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower, delivering a smooth and efficient ride.
- Turbocharged 2.5L engine with 277 horsepower, providing extra power for confident highway driving.
- Hybrid option, giving drivers the best mix of fuel efficiency and performance.
The 2025 Toyota Highlander features a 2.4L turbocharged engine producing 265 horsepower, along with a hybrid model for increased fuel economy. Both SUVs offer strong efficiency, but the Santa Fe’s turbo engine delivers more power, making it the better choice for drivers who want a fun and responsive ride.
With a smooth-shifting transmission and hybrid availability, the Santa Fe is perfect for both performance-driven and eco-conscious drivers.
Off-Road Capability
For those who love adventure and outdoor trips, the Hyundai Santa Fe XRT trim is designed for off-road performance. It includes:
- All-terrain tires, providing extra grip on rough trails.
- Skid plates, offering underbody protection.
- Advanced all-wheel drive, keeping you in control on uneven terrain.
The Toyota Highlander has all-wheel drive available, but it doesn’t include an off-road-focused trim like the Santa Fe XRT. If you want an SUV that’s ready for rugged terrain, the Santa Fe is the better choice.
Technology Features
Both SUVs come packed with advanced technology, but the Santa Fe offers premium features at a more affordable price.
2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Technology Highlights:
- Standard 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Optional 12.3-inch digital display for a high-tech, modern feel.
- Premium upgrades, including a Harman Kardon audio system, wireless charging, and a 360-degree camera.
2025 Toyota Highlander Technology Highlights:
- A 12.3-inch touchscreen is available on higher trims.
- JBL premium sound system offered as an upgrade.
While both SUVs provide great technology, the Santa Fe gives you similar features at a lower cost, making it the better value for tech-focused drivers.
Interior Space and Comfort
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe has a spacious and premium cabin, with seating for up to seven passengers.
Premium features include:
- Quilted leather seats, adding a luxurious touch.
- A panoramic sunroof, making the cabin feel open and bright.
- Plenty of cargo space, perfect for road trips, shopping, or outdoor adventures.
The 2025 Toyota Highlander can seat up to eight passengers, but its third row is tighter and less comfortable for adults.
For North Little Rock drivers looking for a roomy, upscale interior, the Santa Fe Calligraphy trim offers luxury features at a lower price than the Highlander’s top trims.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Both the Santa Fe and Highlander are equipped with advanced safety technology to protect drivers and passengers.
Hyundai Santa Fe Safety Features:
- Hyundai SmartSense, a full suite of driver assistance systems.
- Forward Collision Avoidance, helping prevent accidents.
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, improving visibility for safer lane changes.
- Highway Driving Assist, making highway travel easier and less stressful.
Toyota Highlander Safety Features:
- Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, with adaptive cruise control and lane departure alerts.
- Automatic emergency braking, helping to avoid collisions.
The Santa Fe’s Highway Driving Assist feature gives it an advantage, providing more support for long highway drives.
Which SUV is the Best Choice?
The 2025 Toyota Highlander is a solid SUV for larger families who need extra seating. However, it comes at a higher price and doesn’t offer an off-road trim like the Santa Fe XRT.
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with:
- More horsepower with its turbocharged engine option.
- Superior off-road capability with the XRT trim.
- Advanced technology and safety features at a better value.
- A spacious and stylish interior with premium upgrades.
For North Little Rock drivers who want a powerful, tech-savvy, and comfortable SUV, the Santa Fe is the smarter choice.
