• The 1st impression when you look at the car is " Mercedes Benz  CLS's Cousin"!!!  I just ask for a test drive and without waiting  too long we were out on the road.

• Overall i feel that this is a better looking Hunydai car so far , i mean all this while all the design is base on oriental's concept untill they get some outsider to asist them.

• The cockpit give you a grand , luxury and very european style.Without warning it is actually designed by the Mercedes Benz and BMW design team.From steering , dashboard , center console , the glass roof top , retractable or power roof ,push to start button , drive train and etc.

• All this features has been reimplement or revolutionized Hunydai image and status for this very moment and all this development costs USD372 million.

• Cabin space is comfortable , luxury touchs of the leather , head and legs room is sufficient and Luggage cargo is  adequate as well.
