Overview
2008 Hyundai Entourage LIMITED Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Hyundai is a late arrival to the minivan market, but its latest offering -- while breaking little fresh ground -- builds upon the reputation of a well-regarded current vehicle; the 2008 Hyundai Entourage is related to the Kia Sedona, which first went on sale as a mid-2006 model. Hyundai is Kia's parent company, and both automakers promote the high-value attributes of their vehicles compared to the league-leading Honda Odyssey and other familiar nameplates. But Hyundai model line manager Michael Deitz considers the Entourage "more refined" than the Sedona, thus warranting moderately higher prices. "People lean toward minivans with all the extras," Dietz said.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you like to keep expenses down but don't want to sacrifice any helpful necessities, the 2008 Hyundai Entourage may be a good common-sense choice. Shoppers who demand abundant safety features should note that the Entourage contains six airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), a tire-pressure monitor and Electronic Stability Control, and has the same five-star crash-test rating earned by Kia's Sedona. Naturally, if you're not a fan of minivans in general, the Entourage isn't likely to appeal to you, since -- unlike a few current competitors -- it doesn't try to be anything else. South Korean models also tend to trail their Japanese-brand rivals in resale value, which can be a drawback if you don't expect to keep the minivan for more than a couple of years.
What's Significant about this Car?
The mid-level SE trim is discontinued, with much of its content added to the GLS' optional Popular Equipment Package. The GLS now offers a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, while the Limited receives a new Infinity Logic 7 Surround Sound audio system. Both trims now offer Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity.
