FO Overview:
Hyundai Trajet (FO). Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
The Hyundai Trajet (FO) generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. Safety features typical for its era included ABS, but it lacks the advanced safety systems found in modern vehicles.
2.0 i 16V (140 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Likely offers a slight performance edge over the 136 Hp variant, providing sufficient power for general driving, though specific acceleration data is unavailable.

Without specific fuel data, it's expected to be similar to the 136 Hp petrol, meaning moderate to high fuel consumption for a 2.0L engine in a large minivan.
