Hyundai’s minivan, the Entourage, combines top safety ratings
and new technologies to redefine value in 2009. Entourage now sports
standard XM Satellite Radio and iPod® integration with its top
five-star crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) and a TOP SAFETY PICK rating from the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) – the best rating ever for a
minivan.
2009 NEW EQUIPMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Standard XM Satellite Radio with three months of free service
Updated audio system with improved display and controls
Standard USB/iPod auxiliary inputs
Popular Equipment Package plus Rear Seat Entertainment replaces Premium Package
Entourage Limited receives more standard equipment
Music lovers will welcome the 2009 Entourage’s inclusion of XM
Satellite Radio and standard auxiliary input jacks (3.5 mm mini-jack
and USB input) to accommodate and charge audio devices such as iPods.
When an iPod or flash drive is connected through the USB port, not only
does it play music through the vehicle’s six-speaker audio system, but
it also charges the iPod. The new display included with this system
also allows both driver and passengers to easily view song/artist/title
information and control the music from the audio head unit rather than
only the iPod itself.
The GLS Premium Package has been deleted for 2009 and replaced
with the Popular Equipment Package plus Rear Seat Entertainment, which
adds a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with eight-inch LCD screen at
a more affordable price. The Entourage’s GLS Popular Equipment Package
also includes backup warning sensors to enhance driver awareness when
the vehicle is in reverse, steering wheel audio controls to minimize
driver distraction and dual power sliding doors with power sliding
windows, power rear quarter glass and power driver’s seat.
For 2009, equipment in the Limited Ultimate Package becomes standard on
Entourage Limited. This equipment includes a rear-seat entertainment
system, tilt/slide glass sunroof, power front passenger seat, power
adjustable foot pedals, integrated memory system controlling the
driver’s seat, outside mirrors and foot pedals as well as an
auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®.
All Entourages will continue to feature popular standard equipment like
the Hyundai Hideaway™ third-row seat, a simple-to-use 60/40 split
fold-into-the floor seat that offers flexibility for up to seven
passengers. Entourage’s flip and fold second-row seats add to the
vehicle’s space and versatility, providing easy access to its third-row
seating.
At 202 inches long and 78.1 inches wide, the 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 and Chrysler Town & Country.
