Hyundai, blasted from pillar to post about build quality in its cars, has produced a stunning turn-around in its new family vehicle. On the higher spec model reviewed here, equipment levels are extensive, including Sportsmatic automatic gearbox with manual shift option, electric driver's seat with three memory settings, three lap sash rear belts and rear headrests, climate control airconditioning, remote locking, immobiliser with alarm, power windows and mirrors, in-dash CD, leather trim, spilt fold rear seats, trip computer and wood panelling. Safety features are anti-lock brakes, traction control, dual airbags, seat belt pretensioners, fog lamps and cruise control. Parts prices are, however, more expensive than other locally produced rivals. The new V6 engine is matched to a noteworthy adaptive automatic transmission, which also can be shunted sideways for use as a clutchless manual.
