According to the Hyundai website it comes with everything as standard, on the configurator it didn't even give an option for adding things. That seems pretty good to me on a £48k car, it even has heated and cooled rear seats!

I'm not sure I go as far as to say it's a bargain but I don't think it's outrageous as some on here do. Of course, that does depend on the quality of the construction which I don't know about, but if it's decent then I don't see an issue.

Hurting mid range Lexus sales in the US and the 5.0 version is amazing. Sadly VAT and import duty into the UK bump up the price. Beautifully made, big warranty and surprisingly good to drive on the open highway or in town, but not in Suffolk, Devon or any B road in Britain.

I think it looks great. I'd buy one used, most certainly.

In the US you can have a 5.0 version fully loaded for under £35,000. Now you can see why these sell so well. A fully loaded Lexus LS 600H is just over £55,000. Ever wondered why the UK is just an afterthought for some of these huge car manufacturers who don't or cannot do business in the EU. It is all about a closed market with punitive taxes and duties on imports to protect the Germans.

If like one of these.

Far more subtle than most other cars.

Looks well equipped.
