915 below average minivan 136,834 gasoline gold automatic
This model sets itself apart with Bargain pricing, powerful V6, and best ever IIHT minivan crash test results. And Hyundai makes sure its first entry in the minivan segment is instantly competitive by loading it with standard features not found on its peers
There is just enough room for six in pleasant yet functional surroundings. It has a five-speed automatic transmission to help get the best fuel economy and performance out of its v6 engine. another attractive feature is hyundai's long warranty. The bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles while the powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. That's more than either honda or toyota, but those japanese automakers have a superior track record when it comes to reliability. some independent studies have shown hyundai's quality has improved considerably although on a long-term basis it does not yet match honda or toyota. The curtain airbags cover all the side windows in a side-impact crash to offer head protection and to keep heads and arms inside the vehicle in a rollover. The honda odyssey got a 'marginal' rating for rear impact while the toyota sienna and nissan quest got 'poor' ratings. Even the inside door handles for the second row seem the same. That is a helpful feature that allows some flexibility with legroom and cargo capacity. flexibility is a good thing for anybody planning to sit in the third row. Like most third rows it is designed for small to mid-size children. but it is worth noting that hyundai measures what appears to be a generous 34 inches of third-row legroom with the second-row captain's chairs in their forward-most position. The reality is 27 inches of third-row legroom if the people in the captain's chairs insist on their maximum legroom. the third row can easily be folded into the floor and a spring-loaded mechanism makes it easier to pull up than the third row on the honda odyssey. hyundai rates the cargo capacity behind the third row at 32 cubic feet. That's about twice the size of the trunk of a mid-size sedan but such calculations typically involve stacking stuff to the roof. With the third row folded flat, the cargo capacity increases to 80 cubic feet, according to hyundai. driving impressionwhile some people disdain minivans as being less appealing than a big truck-based suv this involves a moderate amount of delusion. It handles rough surfaces well, which is a good plan for a vehicle intended as a people carrier not a sports sedan. but a particularly deep pothole sends a quiver through the body that suggests the structure isn't as solid as it could be. Driving the honda odyssey on the same roads shows it has a better structure. That contributes to the locked-down and reassuring feeling on the interstate. It is a 3. 8-liter rated at 242 horsepower and it uses a five-speed automatic transmission. Five-speed automatics are becoming more common and done thoughtfully they are a good thing. This would be most helpful in mountain driving when the driver could easily shift to a lower gear helping to slow the vehicle. Neither honda nor toyota did as well with their first minivan efforts. Short-term studies have shown hyundai's quality has improved considerably but the unknown is its long-term quality often defined as a minimum of three years. Meanwhile, honda and toyota are known quantities. There is just enough room for six in pleasant yet functional surroundings. Its safety equipment includes electronic stability control and air curtains to cover the side windows and offer head protection in a side-impact crash. Anti-lock Brakes✔ Sunroof/Moonroof
