FO Overview:
Hyundai Trajet (FO). With 183 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1812 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 13.1 s). The top speed reaches 179 km/h. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
The Hyundai Trajet (FO) generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. Safety features typical for its era included ABS, but it lacks the advanced safety systems found in modern vehicles.
2.0 i 16V (136 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
A balanced petrol option, offering reasonable performance for a minivan with a 0-100 km/h time of 13.1 seconds. Adequate for most family duties.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption of 9.3 l/100 km combined is on the higher side for a 2.0L engine, reflecting the Trajet's size and weight. Less economical than the diesel.
