FactThe Trajet kept plain hinged rear doors through its whole run while every rival minivan switched to sliding ones.
The Hyundai Trajet (model code FO; the Highway Van in the Netherlands; sold as the Trajet XG in South Korea to align with the Grandeur XG on the same platform) is a seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle made by Hyundai from 1999 to 2008, officially launched in 1999 with petrol, diesel or LPG choices; sales began in South Korea in spring 1999, the UK premiere was at the London Motorfair in October 1999 and European sales started in spring 2000 (initially only the 2.0 GSI in the UK, with a limited-edition 2.7-litre V6 SE added in 2001). Reviewers criticised the firm, bouncy ride, light steering with little feedback, noisy engines and the tall gearing of the 2.0-litre four (which cost performance but paid off at the pump), while others found the ride comfortable. In European specification the 2.0 Sirius II (1,997 cc) produced 139 PS (137 hp) at 5,800 rpm and 180 N·m (133 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm, for a claimed 178 km/h (111 mph) with the five-speed manual. The range was updated in September 2004: the 2.0 GSI switched to the Beta II engine with CVVT, rising from 133 to 139 bhp with CO2 down from 223 to 208 g/km, and every rear passenger gained a three-point belt; the automatic selector moved to the steering column and the centre console was dropped, and Hyundai kept regular hinged rear doors rather than sliding doors. Production ended in 2008 without a direct successor.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.
The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
