    Stunning vehicle. Well done Hyundai/Kia showing the European brands (and Land Rover) how to do it.

    Great review! For some reason it reminded me of the silver Fiat Tempra estate my friend's mother had back in the 90s 😂. Nice yoke though, even if a little ott on size for most families

    Great video again Nobby. The design looks great from the front and side but a bit hideous from the rear. Looks like a good package all round. I think if your spending that money on a car you should be getting a sliding panoramic roof as standard. Considering it's a 7 seater it's probably competitively priced. If I didn't need the 7 seats I'd still be buying the Toyota Rav4 plug-in hybrid in GR spec for 10k less and bags more power. Keep the vids coming

    These cars are practical up to the point where you try and park them in a standard parking spot or in a multistorey. kerrunch!
    The back end is awful, up there with the back end of the new Kona.
    Good review tks.

    Thinking Volvo estates in the 70s, 80s maybe 90s design-wise. Good XL family all rounder. Pity the Palisade is not an option in this market. Having said that this represents a very decent large SUV with loads of tech. at this price point when compared with rivals. Worth a ponder if you need 7 seats.

    I SPY something beginning with ''H''...It's fine to run with a theme, but the ''H'' thing is wayyy overdone, that is until you get to the Hyundai logo!, now I could probably get the joke if your car initials were *BJ*, And if Range Rover did this sort of thing no doubt they would be sued by Royce.

    Yeah, the back is VERY plain. There is a very big indication from the side that they have parked the Land Rover Defender outside the design office when designing it. Still think there needs to be a Diesel engine in the range.

    Annoyed they don't do a 5 seater version of it, yes I know you can fold down the 3rd row of seats but the 3rd row of seats evern folded down takes up cargo space under the floor which could be used for storage. I have a 5 seater X-Trail and we use that storage space when taking the dogs away. Also I've heard the 1.6 litre engine is not very good for towing, and it is darn expensive for a Hyundai. Apart from that, not a bad looking car.

    This one of those “Oh Sh$t” cars. Good looking front and sides, practical, well built, well priced, great trim… and than you get to the back and go “Oh SH$T!”. Honestly, it is bad enough for me to completely discard it. A real shame.

    • @herremilkanter

      The rear is my favorite part of the car, but I guess it depends on how nostalgic one is for early 90s designs.

    Looks a lovely car. Shame it's crap! The battery is good for circa 50km and it will take about 3.5 hours to charge it. When fully charged , about 7 mins on the M50 and it's basically gone! And then your just carrying dead weight.
    The bings and bongs will put you in a mental home!
    And then there is the widely reported transmission failures already!
    Seems to be OK, for town or city driving but really to big for just that and at €70k plus with sunroof, a tad expensive for just town/city driving.
    Other than the above, I like the looks of it.
    For anyone that does any kind of serious driving though, stay away from it!

    • @r1cha4d
      @r1cha4d Před 21 dnem

      The M50 is 45km end to end, so your statements here are just nonsense. However, 72900 for a Hyundai, is absolutely laughable.

    • @onslimited
      @onslimited Před 21 dnem

      @r1cha4d driving at 100km to 120km per hour will drain the battery quicker than driving at 50km per hour.
