2005 Hyundai XG350

The XG350 is a conservative rear-wheel-drive sedan equipped with a smooth and refined 3.5-liter V6 coupled with a five-speed automatic transmission. The interior is quiet, roomy, and jammed with amenities. Handling is short on agility, however, and the ride, while compliant at low speeds, gets buoyant on the highway. Traction control, ABS, and side air bags are also standard. For 2006, the much improved front-wheel-drive Azera replaced the XG. It is refined, quiet, and well-equipped. The ride is comfortable and steadier than past Hyundai models, and handling is fairly responsive. The 263-hp, 3.8-liter V6 has good power but only fair fuel economy.

Brand context

About Hyundai

<p>From low-cost sedans to three-row electric SUVs, Hyundai has a model for almost every kind of customer. Most new Hyundai vehicles are stylish, functional, and competitively priced, but the brand overall ranks around the middle in Consumer Reports’ reliability and owner satisfaction ratings. Performance for individual models and years varies widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost compact Elantra and midsized Sonata sedan. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsized Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer hybrid powertrains and three-row seating. In our testing, most Hyundai models are available with a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness while improving fuel economy. The Ioniq electric models are high-tech, well-designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.</p>
