Hyundai's flagship sedan comes in two trim levels: XG350 ($23,999) and XG350L ($25,599).
Befitting its near-luxury status, even the base XG350 comes with power everything, automatic climate control, leather-faced seating surfaces and a six-speaker CD stereo. Four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) are standard, as are front-seat side-impact air bags and heated outside mirrors. As its nomenclature indicates, power for the XG350 is provided by a 3.5-liter V6, whichdrives the front wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with the company's dual-gate, Shiftronic manual override system. Also now standard are outboard rear seat reading lights, electrochromic rearview mirror and the HomeLink integrated transceiver system.
The XG350L adds a power tilt-and-slide moonroof, premium speakers and 210-watt external amplifier, heat and memory for the front bucket seats, a leather-and-woodgrain steering wheel, memory outside mirrors that tilt down when reverse gear is selected.
The only factory option available at either level is an 8-disc CD changer ($500). Options available for installation at port of entry are carpeted floor mats ($89) and rear mudguards ($35).
