2007-2008 Hyundai Entourage: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Hyundai's first minivan carried seven passengers and had a third-row seat that folded into a floorwell. Front-wheel drive, like most minivans, the Entourage shared its basic design with the Kia Sedona; Hyundai was Kia's corporate parent. Entourage styling touches echoed the newly-redesigned Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. Entourage had a 242-horsepower V6 engine (later re-rated at 250 hp) and a five-speed automatic transmission, with a manual shift gate. GLS, SE, and Limited trim levels were offered. Second-row bucket seats slid fore and aft, and could be removed. The third-row "Hideaway" bench was split 60/40. All-disc antilock braking, active front head restraints, a tire-pressure monitor, and traction/antiskid control were standard. Also standard were front side airbags and curtain side airbags, which covered all three seating rows. A foldaway center tray table between the front seats included four cupholders. All models had power windows in their sliding side doors. Dual power sliding side doors were standard on SE and Limited models. Leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power tailgate were standard on the Limited. Also available were a sunroof, DVD entertainment, power-adjustable pedals, and rear obstacle detection. Rivals included the Dodge Caravan, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna.
