Hyundai Trajet 2000-2008

The Hyundai Trajet, a French word meaning "to travel", is a large, seven-seat, five-door MPV manufactured by Hyundai Motors between 1999 and 2008. It was powered by a 2.0-liter GSI engine and offered gasoline, diesel, and natural gas engines. A limited edition was introduced in 2001. The car features strong exterior styling from the front to the rear, along with powerful performance and youthful colors.

Sales began in South Korea in April 1999 and arrived in Europe in March 2000. The car has a distinctive front design with a medium-sized grille with the company logo in the middle. It has headlights divided into two halves, one with fog lights at the bottom, and two prominent lines on either side of the hood. The roof rack also features vertical taillights and a body-colored bumper with a hatchback-like design.

The car is also available with a 2700cc V6 engine, a fully aluminum engine with a double overhead camshaft, producing 179 hp. The car performs well with its engines and is suitable for touring.

Spare Parts

30%

Car spare parts are considered average in price, but they are scarce due to the car not being widely available in Egypt, as its availability is limited and few people work in its spare parts.

Suspension

The car features an advanced MacPherson strut suspension system with gas shock absorbers and high-performance coil springs in the front, while the rear features an advanced semi-arm suspension with gas shock absorbers and high-performance coil springs.

Resale

30%

This car is not popular in Egypt, and therefore not much is known about it. Therefore, reselling it in the used market is very difficult for those who own it. It is also difficult for those who want to find it. Therefore, the resale price of the car is much lower due to the lack of demand for it, due to fear of it. However, some prefer this model over models like the Kia Carens, which is considered a practical car and suitable for those looking for a different and unique family car.

However, some believe it is better than the older Kia Carens models that were available at the same time, because the latter had various defects and problems.
