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

Other than a few cosmetic enhancements, the XG350 remains largely unchanged for 2004. The front end was slightly reworked and projector-type foglights were added. The rear of the car looks slightly different as well -- the license plate is now housed in the rear deck lid rather than the bumper. Inside, the XG350 offers lighter tone wood grain trim, a new Infinity sound system and recessed child seat tethers. The only mechanical changes to the XG are larger front brake rotors and a trunk lid that is lifted by gas-charged struts rather than torsion bars. All XG350s now come with a full-size spare.

Edmunds says

If upscale features are more important to you than tight handling and a mainstream name, the XG350 is worth a look.

Best value for my money!

2004 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Bought it brand new. Hyundai was first to back up their vehicles with a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty and after owning one for 6 years and putting on over 100,000 trouble free miles on mine I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for value. Built very well and durable. Showed it to my neighbor and he bought one! I like all the many features of this car. In fact, I would refer …

Excellent Car, would buy again

2004 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Purchased new in 2004. XG is a heavy car which tends to smooth out the ride and give it a stable feel over rough roads. It's been very reliable and has many features of more expensive cars. Have 80k miles on it now and it will be paid of in a month. normally that means deciding on a new car but I'm keeping this one. Fully expect to get another 80k before selling.

Good car for the money.

2004 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Traded a 05 Chevy C1500 to my sister for the car. Wife is main driver of the car and she loves it very much. Rides smooth and feels solid, not tinny like a small car. Decent power(I am used to V8 cars with manual trans) and will out run most similar type cars. Has almost every otion you can think of except HID lights and navigation. Has 45,000 miles on it now, only warranty work was …
