The appearance of the "Hyundai-Tratjet" model in 1999 coincided with the active expansion of the representatives of the Korean automotive industry to the world markets. The producer pinned special hopes on the USA, where cars with such bodies were very popular.
Exterior
Speaking about the shape of the car, first of all it should be noted his calm appearance. This can be explained by the fact that the design was developed by the European branch of the company. "Hyundai-Trajet", a photo of which is located at the top, received a radiator grille with a chrome-plated visor. Unlike many other minivans, the doors for the rear passengers are plowed up, and not "driven", which creates certain problems when parking in tight conditions. The increased versatility of the car is emphasized by the roof rails installed on the roof. Since the machine has three rows of seats, then under full loading they are used to install an additional luggage compartment. As a result of the update, which took place in 2004, the design of the front optics was changed.
Interior
A large opening of the door makes the landing in the Hyundai-Trajet very convenient. In the car there is no driver's armrest. The front seats of the machine are equipped with mechanical adjustments, which change their position. Demanding car enthusiasts may not like the green backlighting of the dashboard in the model. Considering the year of the car's debut, the materials used in its decoration can be called decent. The large area of the vehicle's glazing, both in the front and rear, provides excellent visibility to the driver. With regard to the steering wheel adjustment, in Hyundai-Tratzhet it is possible to change only the angle of its inclination. For convenience of passengers in the backs of the first and second row are cup holders. The luggage compartment (even if the third row of seats is spread out) has a volume of 304 liters. In the event, if you add both rear rows, the car turns into a real van, which can accommodate 2700 liters. Plus, as already mentioned above, the roof has attachments for an additional luggage compartment.
Specifications
"Hyundai-Tratjet" can be completed with three variants of motors. The simplest of them is a two-liter petrol engine, whose capacity is 139 "horses". Auto of this modification takes 13 seconds to accelerate to "hundreds", and its maximum speed is 172 km / h. The second power plant is a gasoline "six", reaching a mark of 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. The third modification is a two-liter "diesel", equipped with a turbine with a capacity of 113 horsepower. As for the transmission, the choice here is reduced to two options: "automatic" for four steps or "mechanics" for five. The average fuel consumption in the mixed cycle is about 10.3 liters. Given the fact that it is a minivan, such characteristics can be safely called acceptable. As for the cost of Hyundai-Tratjet, the price of such a car on the domestic secondary market is in the range of ten to fourteen thousand US dollars, depending on the state.
