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, conservative styling, no side curtain airbags.

What’s new

The XG350L receives a standard eight-disc CD changer.

Edmunds says

If upscale features are more important to you than tight handling and a mainstream name, the XG350 is worth a look. However, most buyers would be better served by a well-optioned Accord or Camry.

Great car!

2005 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I bought this car used, based on high ratings I found online. It's not the car I imagined purchasing (I had a Honda Civic LX for a decade prior to this vehicle) but I really fell for it after a test drive. I've had it for almost a year now, and I'm still loving it. I would recommend this car to anybody wanting a comfortable, fun vehicle that is roomy enough but with decent gas mileage …

I bought a dealer model 2005 in 2006. I still have it, and plan to keep it until it dies....which I do not think will be any time soon. I have had no repairs, just routine maintenance. Love this car, and wish it would last forever.

Best bang for my buck!

2005 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I bought my XG when it was 10 years old and had quite a few miles on it. I'm the second owner and it turns out that the original owner was an older woman who lived down the street from me. She had all her maintenance, right up til the time she sold it, done at the dealership. I had access to the records and she had all recommended service done. The condition of the car reflected it. when …

Simply the best!

2005 Hyundai XG350 L 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Have put on 80,000 miles cross country driving - oil changes, gas and new tires our only expense. Comfortable, fast, great handling/cornering, totally reliable. We have averaged 24 MPG (US gallons). I have been driving 45 years and owned many cars in all price ranges. This is the best. The climate control does have a mind of its own sometimes but not a major issue.
