2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE MAKES WORLD DEBUT AT
EFFICIENT INTERIOR
The all-new 2007 Entourage is one of the most comfortable and convenient minivans on the market. Hyundai accomplished this by appointing Entourage with a refined interior design and highly desired standard features. The new 2007 Entourage offers power dual rear sliding doors with power windows, adjustable conversation mirror and a foldaway center tray table with four cupholders standard. All Entourages have a premium HVAC system with dual front climate controls and separate second-row controls and rear-seat vents for both the second- and third-row passengers. For drivers, there are folding sideview mirrors, tilt wheel steering and optional power adjustable pedals. The interior is finished with a two-tone color scheme with woodgrain or metalgrain accents. Luxurious leather seats are standard in the Limited model, as are a power tailgate, heated front seats and an electroluminescent instrument cluster. A rear-seat entertainment system with an eight-inch LCD monitor, backup warning sensors and Infinity® AM/FM/CD-changer/MP3 audio system with Logic 7® surround sound take passenger comfort to the next level.
Adding to Entourage’s space and versatility, flip and fold second-row seats provide easy access to the Hyundai Hideaway™ third-row seat. The Hyundai Hideaway™ third-row seat is a new, simple-to-operate 60/40 split fold-into-the-floor design that is standard on all models.
V6 ENGINE
Married to the technically advanced V6 is an equally advanced five-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual control. The transmission offers smooth shifts and a wide spread of ratios that ideally suit the engine’s characteristics and includes an overdrive lock-up torque converter for quiet, efficient highway cruising. Drivers can access the SHIFTRONIC® feature by moving the gear selector into a separate gate. Pushing the selector forward or pulling it rearward will shift the transmission up or down sequentially, adding to driver control. A clear LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the gear that’s in use.
BOLD DESIGN
Entourage continues the dramatic new styling theme introduced on the all-new 2007
weled projector beam front headlights and optional fog lights complete the front-end styling. The dropped fenders continue into the beltline for a uniform side profile. Standard integrated functional roof rack rails and color-keyed bodyside moldings with chrome inserts complement the dropped fender bodylines. A rear spoiler with integrated brake light, chrome accents and combination tail lights repeat the design theme from up front.
PURPOSE-BUILT PLATFORM
The Entourage rides on a purpose-built unibody minivan platform with a
118.9-inch wheelbase and a 66.3-inch track width that is longer and wider than the competition. This chassis was specifically designed to deliver a rewarding ride. Thanks to the suspension geometry and wide track width (which enables greater turn angles), Hyundai engineers were able to give Entourage an impressive, tight turning diameter of 39.6 feet for parking situations and U-turns.
