Flagship sedans from Hyundai reflect sedate styling on a package of generous scale for the mid-size class with power supplied by a V6 engine and the passenger compartment -- featuring leather-lined seats and automatic everything -- rivaling a refined luxury car.
Exterior styling seems subtle but elegant with a series of flat horizontal and vertical surfaces united by crisp angled surfaces that form etched character lines across the hood and along each side as shoulders.
Power for XG350 stems from Hyundai's dual-cam 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers 194-hp in concert with a sophisticated 5-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual shift mode.
There are two trims -- XG350 and the luxury-laced XG350L. XG350 continues to offer an extensive list of standards including leather seating and 16-inch alloy wheels, with a CD changer for eight discs new on 2005 issues.
