Cons
  1. CKD model is more expensive than the CBU
    CKD variants are more expensive than CBU thanks to the latter’s classification as a commercial vehicle due to its 11 seats, and commercial vehicles have lower taxes.

  2. No 3rd or 4th air-conditioning vents
    The ceiling-mounted vents are available only on  the second row seats

  3. No other powertrain combo
    The only combination available is the 2.2-litre turbodiesel partnered to an 8-speed automatic gearbox

  • Modern Amenities- The lack of modern features such as mobile phone connectivity makes the car less appealing to the modern consumers.

  • Safety Feature- The lack of ISOFIX anchor point for a car aimed predominantly at large family seems like a gross oversight from Hyundai.

  • Dated Design- The dated interior design may be functional, but it could certainly use a major refresh.
