2007 Hyundai Entourage Exterior Review [ 2008 ]
Hyundai Entourage Exterior Review
Exterior - NA
Auto writers generally see the 2007 Hyundai Entourage as nice-looking, even if it doesn't break any new stylistic ground. U.S. News reviewer Rick Newman deems it "not" hot, but still notes, "I proudly steer the Entourage, Hyundai's brand-new minivan, right into the midst of suburban self-satisfaction. It fits there. It's not a looker, but the Entourage has curves and proportions that give it presence."
The all-new Entourage borrows styling cues from the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and its platform mate, the 2007 Kia Sedona. Kelley Blue Book points out "Visually, except for details of the grille, headlamps and lower air intake up front, not much differentiates the Entourage from Kia's Sedona" and adds, "Both look a lot like most minivans on the road." Though the Entourage doesn't break the typical minivan mold, many reviewers still appreciate its exterior styling. Automobile.com says it projects a "clean, uncluttered, well proportioned image that's just as appealing, if not more so than any other example in today's wide array of minivan offerings." Cars.com similarly notes, "Entourage is a nice-looking minivan -- not as homely (GM) or polarizing (Nissan Quest) as some."
Some feel that certain exterior touches set the Entourage apart. U.S. News' Rick Newman continues, "Hyundai has put enough effort into design that with a few slight touches, like alloy wheels or a bit of chrome, the Entourage even looks luxurious." Cars.com describes the minivan's styling, noting, "The headlights are large and there is a pronounced chrome grille. The hood appears raised from the fenders, and the beltline extends from the top of the fenders at the same height from front to rear, giving the vehicle a solid, uniform appearance." The reviewer especially likes the chrome accents on the door handles.
