Hyundai creates an attractive dash that's easy to see and has well laid out instrumentation. The XG300's speedometer and tachometer feature a wavy pattern background, a subtle, yet funky thing that is attractive during the day and not noticeable at night. The automatic climate control system is easy to use and quickly heats up. However, I found myself setting the temperature up to 76 on cool mornings to get sufficient heat to my feet. The system includes a button that can be pressed to check the external temperature.
Radio buttons are large and easy to use.
The system sounds pretty good and includes a CD player, but no cassette. In between the seats are two cup holders, with a lid that swings open, plus two small coin holders next to the shift lever, which is surrounded by a brushed aluminum ring. Just behind the shifter on the console is a drawer that smoothly opens from the dash. It too could hold coins, a pen or other small odds and ends. Overhead there are sturdy sun visors, complete with extenders and lighted vanity mirrors.
