Review and specifications
2003 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
From low-cost sedans to three-row EV 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. Individual models and years vary widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost subcompacts like the Elantra, and midsized sedans like the Sonata. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsize Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer three-row seating. Many models are available as hybrids or plug-in hybrids. In our testing, most Hyundai models benefit from a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness in addition to improving fuel economy. Hyundai’s EVs are some of the best values among electric cars. The Ioniq models are high-tech, well designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.
