Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Classy interior materials, long list of standard features, low price, excellent warranty.

Cons

Flaccid handling, easily confused automatic transmission, dated styling.

What’s new

For 2003, Hyundai's flagship sedan gets a new instrument panel and trip computer. Otherwise, the XG350 is unchanged.

Edmunds says

If you'd like to break away from the mainstream and save a couple of bucks doing it, the XG350 is worth a look. However, the mainstream is the mainstream for a reason...

A BMW in Sheeps Clothing

Mark, 04/26/2010

2003 Hyundai XG350 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

The XG is by far the best car I have ever owned and at 168,000 miles she is still running like a top. The cost of ownership of this BMW in sheeps clothing has been minimal to say the lest. I keep up with the regular mainteance and expect to get at lest 200,000 miles out of this car. Driver comfort is awsome, I'm 6'6" tall and have no problem fitting behind the wheel. Even with the driver …

Transmission and Steering Problems

Mr. Pitt, 02/18/2003

2003 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

For owners or prospective purchasers of an XG350 be aware that Hyundai is hiding some information. The erratic automatic transmission may be caused by an "accelerator position senson" which I just had replaced. If you are having problems with wheel alignment or tire wear as I have be advised that they have had to install adjustable rear ball joints on some of these cars …

love my XG

2003 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I owned as Pontiac G6 and was not happy with the payments, so I took it back. Bought this out of the classifieds in the local paper and I am very very happy with it. For a small price, with some minor repairs from me, I love the smooth way it drives. Everyone says they though I was driving a Jaguar when they see me pull up. Very classy car and the ride is great. I do not race the car, I …

Champagne taste on a beer budget

a driver, 05/16/2006

2003 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Being a 'car nut' I could nit pick the car to pieces, but I'd be comparing it to much more expensive automobiles. The only downside is the fuel mileage; if you drive it easy and use the cruise @ 72mph or less, it good to great. "Race car" it and you'll be hard pressed to more than 350 mi/tankful. Now the good stuff: great acceleration, very comfortable, all the features you'd want plus; …
