Hyundai's SUV conforms to the compact class with four doors and two rows of seats for five, draws from either a four-cylinder or V6 powertrain and brings the choice of all-wheel-drive (AWD) or FWD.

The all-time AWD system employs a unique Dual Drive front differential with planetary gears plus viscous coupling. It sends as much as 60 percent of the engine's muscle to front wheels and 40 percent to the rear.

Cabin layout consists of bucket seats and center console in front of a bench seat for three and a bay in back measuring to 30 cubic feet for cargo and sports equipment.

Three trim variations provide premium features standard like air conditioning, power controls for windows and door locks, and a stereo audio kit.
