Which Hyundai Vehicles in Peoria, IL Have Touchscreens?
There is a lot to love about Hyundai vehicles, especially in regards to tech. Every year, more and more Hyundai models are built with state-of-the-art technology, including innovative infotainment systems.
If you’re looking for a Hyundai vehicle in Peoria with a touchscreen, here are some sedans and SUVs to consider.
2021 Hyundai Accent
The Hyundai Accent is a nimble little sedan that is super fun to drive. Not only does it come with a five-inch touchscreen, but it also comes with a USB port and Bluetooth® connectivity. In upper trims, you can swap out the five-inch screen for a seven-inch display.

How Much Can the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Tow?
When most car shoppers think about buying a vehicle with good towing ability, Hyundai is a brand that probably doesn’t immediately spring to mind. Our vehicles may contain advanced tech and exciting performance features, but at first glance, they don’t look like towing champions.
However, you might be surprised by how much our SUVs can actually tow. The new Hyundai Santa Fe, for example, is a model that you shouldn’t sleep on when it comes to towing.
Hyundai Santa Fe Towing Ability
In its base setup, the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe can tow up to 2,000 pounds. However, when it is properly equipped, that number climbs all the way up to 3,500 pounds. That means you should have little trouble towing a trailer or even a small camper.
Additional Features

Hyundai Parts 101: What is a Muffler and What Does It Do?
At Mike Miller Hyundai, we don't just help you find a new vehicle. We also help you take care of your Hyundai car and find the official Hyundai parts you need to keep it running right.
One car part we get a lot of questions about is the muffler. What is it? What does it do? Is it really that important? Our knowledgeable mechanics can answer all of your questions.
What is a Muffler?
A muffler is a critical part of your exhaust system. As the name implies, it "muffles" the sound of your engine. Without it, your car would be extremely loud and unsuitable for daily road use.
Your muffler takes the noise created by your engine and funnels it through a number of passages and chambers that quiet it down. This way, the hot exhaust gas creates a little bit of noise, but nothi...

2020 Hyundai Accent vs. 2020 Nissan Versa
Comparing the Hyundai Accent to competing sedans like the Nissan Versa is something we get asked about frequently at Mike Miller Hyundai. We’re not going to lie; these models are extraordinarily similar. However, there are perks to choosing not only the Hyundai Accent, but also our dealership and brand as a whole.
The Hyundai Accent is a true commuter’s car. With a compact body and a small turning radius (even smaller than the Nissan Versa’s turning radius), you can back in and out of tight spots without breaking a sweat. If you’re a new driver learning to parallel park, this car will be your best friend.
