2007 Hyundai Entourage
Hyundai continues to expand its lineup, stepping now into the minivan segment with the Entourage. It's packed with the usual features and options in this class — things like folding third-row seats and dual and power-sliding rear doors.
But the Entourage also loads up on safety features, including side curtain-type airbags and an electronic stability system. Hyundai hopes that will put it in a good position to take on better-known, established rivals such as the Honda Odyssey, which it surpasses in interior space.
Exterior
The Entourage fits the basic look of a minivan; it doesn't take risks that could drive intended buyers away, but neither does it break the mold. The headlights are large and there is a pronounced chrome grille. The hood appears raised from the fenders, and the beltline extends from the top of the fenders at the same height from front to rear, giving the vehicle a solid, uniform appearance.
The Entourage features chrome accents on the exterior, most conspicuously on the door handles. There's an integrated roof rack with body-colored side moldings, and a rear spoiler integrates the van's brake lights.
Interior
Faux wood or metal-like trim finishes are available on a two-tone interior scheme. Leather seats are optional, as are heated seats, a DVD entertainment system, backup warning sensors and adjustable pedals.
There are climate controls for both front seats as well as for the second row. Those second-row seats fold to the floor, and the third-row seats fold into the floor to increase cargo area. With all its seats in place, the Entourage seats seven.
Under the Hood
Hyundai is anxious to compare engines with rivals, pointing out its V-6 makes more standard horsepower — 242 — than those in the Ford Freestar and Dodge Caravan, while also producing more torque — 251 pounds-feet — than the Honda Odyssey.
A five-speed-automatic transmission with manual shifting capability is standard. When the driver engages the manual shifting, an LCD screen shows which gear is engaged.
Safety
While other automakers often make an electronic stability system an extra-cost option, it's standard on all Entourage trim levels.
The Entourage packs in six airbags, including front airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags and side curtain-type airbags. All seating positions include three-point seat belts and adjustable headrests.
Also standard is a tire-pressure-monitoring system that alerts the driver to a low tire through a readout in the dash.
