A xg is a the top of the line luxurious car by hyundai. Its called a XG in US, and in Korea its called a Granduer. It may be the top of the line car here in the US but in Korea the Equis and dynasty are top

I am interested in the Hyundai XG350. It is an incredibly luxuriously appointed car for the money. My test drive was a mixed impression. It rode great. You could not feel the bumps and it was very quiet. (This is not an enthusiasts car, it is a luxury ride) It seemed to shift strangely and I noticed a slight hesitation but it had good acceleration. The A.C. didn't seem to cool adequetely and the brake pedal felt a little mushy. I also am concerned about a few things about Hyundai, namely reliability, quality, depreciation and service. Does anyone have any opinions or reviews to share?

Think about it savage depreciation, soggy suspension, looks like a Russian limo.


The V6 is OK as is the tiptronic, it is well equipped and priced, but I don't think that is enough to save it

they look pretty shity but if u check out the hP on the car u'll be amazed. It is suppose to beat a stocked manual civic . and o by the way... the xg only comes in automatic

There' a few people on www.teamsr.org that have custom XG's. Also, check out Club GTR.com and SharkRacing.com for custom go fast goodies and external mod's.

I would agree with you on the XG 01-03 are pretty ugly, but check out an 04. Updated the front and rear with different headlights, grille, front and rear bumper, taillights, and trunk lid. It looks a whole lot better than the prior ones. I am the parts manager at a Hyundai dealer in Indianapolis and I would say the XG and the Sante Fe are the most reliable cars Hyundai makes. I've been with Hyundai for a year and a half, not once have we done an engine or a transmission on an XG. We hardly ever see an XG in here, especially for something major. Biggest problem with the XG would probably be in the evap system, have replaced a few purge control valves and rollover valves, but even those are few and far between. We have an XG in our shop right now, probably biggest repair I've seen on an XG yet. Clip for the drivers floor mat put about a 1" rip in the carpet, so, we are replacing the carpet throughout the car. But really the XG is a really nice car for the money and very reliable. I just bought a Sonata for my wife in April, right before the 04 XG came out. With I would have held out a couple months and gotten an 04 XG.

I have a 02 XG and the only thing I don't like is that the paint job isn't very good. You could walk by and I think the paint will chip off. Can't beat the ride and room inside.

haha badassgremlin you drive a figgin Neon so your opinion doesn't count. you talk about a cheap car with shitty construction your driving it!!! The XG is an awesome car for the money and thae construction is as good as toyota or Honda. You obviously haven't driven a Hyundai lately.

[Tiburon99]

Those XG series's are awsome! What is the HP in the 04?

you realize its an srt-4 right?.....
uhhh whens the last time dodge had a shitty car.... and had a questionabe backing and foundation like hyundai?.... hmmmmmmm

[C-DUBYA]

just ask JD power and associates. Or talk to anyone in the car industry about dodge/chrysler cars, or check out the lemon guide. I agree the early hyundais were shit but they have come a long way from the pony. And check out hyundai's backing...and then chrysler product studies.

Their so ugly. Stole all the styling cue's from other cars. If you want a luxury car, spend the money. If not, get an Accord or Camry. MUCH better than this wanna-be XG.
