Family space
The third row is usable for children and shorter adults. Cargo space behind it is limited but adequate.
A big family car with few reasons to complain.
Downsides
Fuel economy is average, with no hybrid in the first generation. High demand has meant markups at some dealers.
Before you visit the dealer
- Check second-row captain’s chair options
- Test the third row with children
- Confirm the warranty terms
- Ask about markups
Practical tip
Warranty coverage on Korean brands is often longer than rivals. Read the details for resale transfers.
Bottom line
A good choice for families who need three rows and a fair price.
Specifications, prices and rules change. Confirm current details with the manufacturer or the relevant authority before you buy or repair.
