2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE MAKES WORLD DEBUT AT

CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

More Safety, More Room, More Value Than Honda Odyssey

Entourage Packs Unsurpassed Safety, Quality and Convenience into a Minivan

CHICAGO, February 8, 2006 – The new 2007 Hyundai Entourage minivan made its

world debut today at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. With its unprecedented combination

of unsurpassed standard safety, comfort and convenience matched with a powerful engine

and outstanding quality backed by Hyundai’s 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty, this new

star in Hyundai’s lineup is sure to attract a following.

Entourage is the first vehicle with the Hyundai Hideaway™ third-row seat, a

simple-to-use 60/40 split fold-into-the floor seat offering flexibility for up to seven

passengers. At 202 inches long and 78.1 inches wide, the new Entourage is truly full-size.

In fact, these larger dimensions and efficient packaging deliver an interior volume of 172

cubic feet – more than Honda Odyssey.

Hyundai packed the all-new Entourage with the industry’s most effective safety

technologies, including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), anti-whiplash active front

head restraints and six airbags including side air curtains, which help protect occupants in

all three rows during side impacts. Entourage is expected to earn the National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) top five-star crash test rating for front and side

impacts.

UNSURPASSED SAFETY

The all-new 2007 Entourage continues Hyundai’s leadership in standardizing the

industry’s most effective safety technologies. The new Entourage features six standard

airbags, including side air curtains for all three rows of seats. The combination of side

and curtain airbags, which help protect the head and body during side impacts, can reduce

fatalities by more than 45 percent, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway

Safety (IIHS).

In addition, all Entourage trim levels come standard with Electronic Stability

Control (ESC), one of the industry’s most effective life-saving technologies. ESC

compares the driver’s intended course with the vehicle’s actual response. ESC then

brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces engine power as needed in certain

driving circumstances to help correct understeer or oversteer. IIHS studies show vehicles

equipped with ESC experience 56 percent fewer fatalities in single-vehicle crashes.

Entourage joins Santa Fe, Tucson, Sonata and Azera as vehicles in Hyundai’s growing

lineup with standard Electronic Stability Control – a commitment to this sophisticated

and effective automotive safety technology that is unmatched by any other non-luxury

automotive brand.

Front (11.7-in.) and rear (11.9-in.) disc brakes are standard and are coupled with a

four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that includes Electronic Brake force

Distribution (EBD) to optimize brake performance even with differing vehicle loading.

All seating positions feature three-point seatbelts and adjustable head restraints.

Front seat active head restraints help prevent whiplash by automatically reducing the

space between a front occupant’s head and the head restraint during a rear collision, and

are highly recommended by safety-focused organizations such as IIHS.

Convenient Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) points allow child

seats to be secured in the second- and third-row seats.

Additional standard safety equipment includes a high-line tire pressure

monitoring system (TPMS), which alerts drivers if one or more tires are under inflated.

An illuminated readout on the dash lets drivers know the exact tire(s) needing inflation so

corrective action can be taken.

EFFICIENT INTERIOR

The all-new 2007 Entourage is one of the most comfortable and convenient

minivans on the market. Hyundai accomplished this by appointing Entourage with a

refined interior design and highly desired standard features. The new 2007 Entourage

offers power dual rear sliding doors with power windows, adjustable conversation mirror

and a foldaway center tray table with four cupholders standard. All Entourages have a

premium HVAC system with dual front climate controls and separate second-row

controls and rear-seat vents for both the second- and third-row passengers. For drivers,

there are folding sideview mirrors, tilt wheel steering and optional power adjustable

pedals. The interior is finished with a two-tone color scheme with woodgrain or

metalgrain accents. Luxurious leather seats are standard in the Limited model, as are a

power tailgate, heated front seats and an electroluminescent instrument cluster. A rear-

seat entertainment system with an eight-inch LCD monitor, backup warning sensors and

Infinity® AM/FM/CD-changer/MP3 audio system with Logic 7® surround sound take

passenger comfort to the next level.

Adding to Entourage’s space and versatility, flip and fold second-row seats

provide easy access to the Hyundai Hideaway™ third-row seat. The Hyundai

Hideaway™ third-row seat is a new, simple-to-operate 60/40 split fold-into-the-floor

design that is standard on all models.

V6 ENGINE

Entourage’s modern all-aluminum 3.8-liter DOHC 24-valve standard V6 engine

produces 242 horsepower and 251 lb.-ft. of torque placing it at the top of the minivan

segment. Entourage has more standard horsepower than the Ford Freestar, Chevrolet

Uplander and Dodge Caravan, and more torque than the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna

and Dodge Grand Caravan. It also features timing chains with no scheduled maintenance

(instead of the belts found on many V6s, which must be replaced at set intervals). Even

with its impressive output, the Entourage is also environmentally friendly and achieves

Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) certification levels.

Married to the technically advanced V6 is an equally advanced five-speed

automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual control. The transmission offers

smooth shifts and a wide spread of ratios that ideally suit the engine’s characteristics and

includes an overdrive lock-up torque converter for quiet, efficient highway cruising.

Drivers can access the SHIFTRONIC® feature by moving the gear selector into a

separate gate. Pushing the selector forward or pulling it rearward will shift the

transmission up or down sequentially, adding to driver control. A clear LCD readout on

the instrument panel shows the gear that’s in use.

BOLD DESIGN

Entourage continues the dramatic

new styling theme introduced on the all-new

2007 Santa Fe – assertive, refined and

confident. Dropped fenders, a sophisticated

hood crease and a bold chrome grille give

Entourage an assertive face. Large jeweled

projector beam front headlights and optional

fog lights complete the front-end styling.

The dropped fenders continue into the beltline for a uniform side profile. Standard

integrated functional roof rack rails and color-keyed bodyside moldings with chrome

inserts complement the dropped fender bodylines. A rear spoiler with integrated brake

light, chrome accents and combination tail lights repeat the design theme from up front.

PURPOSE-BUILT PLATFORM

The Entourage rides on a purpose-built unibody minivan platform with a

118.9-inch wheelbase and a 66.3-inch track width that is longer and wider than the

competition. This chassis was specifically designed to deliver a rewarding ride. Thanks to

the suspension geometry and wide track width (which enables greater turn angles),

Hyundai engineers were able to give Entourage an impressive, tight turning diameter of

39.6 feet for parking situations and U-turns.

Entourage’s four-wheel independent suspension system is comprised of

MacPherson struts with coil springs and a stabilizer bar in the front, while the rear

suspension uses a multi-link design with coil springs and a stabilizer bar. Engine-speed-

sensitive power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering also contributes to the Entourage’s

solid handling dynamics.

Entourage models come with 16-inch steel wheels and 225/70 R16 tires or 17-

inch alloy wheels fitted to 235/60 R17 tires.

HYUNDAI VALUE

airbags, anti-whiplash active front head restraints, TPMS, 3.8-liter V6 engine, roof rack

rails, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, keyless entry, AM/FM/CD player, front wiper

deicer and tri-zone climate controls system will be priced at $23,7951, more than $1,500
