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 14.7 s). The top speed reaches 172 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.

The automatic transmission slightly dulls performance, resulting in the slowest acceleration at 14.7 seconds. Best for those prioritizing ease of driving.

With a combined 10.3 l/100 km, this is one of the least fuel-efficient options, making it costly for regular use, especially in stop-and-go traffic.
