My New Ride!!

[streetKIA]

HEy guys!

This my new ride which I got about 2 months back so I thought I'll post some pictures of it.

The car's a Hyundai Grandeur XG30. It has a 3.0 litre V6 engine that pumps out about 200bhp which enables it to accelerate from 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. It also has a top speed of 225km/h.

Luxury wise it has everything you could want from a car. Well it has leather seats, front electric seats, wood trim, 6 speakers, 5-speed shiftronic, foot operated parking brake, leather wrapped steering wheel, digital climate control,map lights, front and rear door lights, rear reading lamps, dual a/c, auto lights, etc.

It also has dual airbags and abs with ebd.

Looks lovely,

just curious what posessed you to go for a 3L V6 in the days of Petrol hitting Rs. 117 !!

But I am sure the engine is very smooth and refined, and I kind of like the leather in the Hyundai's even in the old Sonata's a bit firmer than the stuff you get on some Japanese cars

someones name goes as StreetKIA but the car is Hyundai, post some full pics so that we can clearly see!

Well sometimes luxury costs a lot!! But believe me its worth it. I have a little 1.5L rio that I use on some days. The XG does about 7- 8 km/l but to pump a full tank really does pinch the wallet. The leather is absoloutely gorgeous.It's really really comfy.

Beautiful car buddy.. real tasteful interior.. what was the approximate cost of getting the car bro?

PS : Your photos might take ages as you are trying to upload the original formats online.. use a software such as ACDSee etc. and resize the photo to around 1024x768 + convert the file format to about 75% Quality JPEG photos..

Dude, just resize the pics on the PC. Of if u really want to, there should be a control on ur cam that lets u take pics at a lower resolution.

I'm guessing there should be about 20 XGs at the most. Not as rare as the optima where there about 10.

cool ride mate. but you sure it does 7-8 kmpl???? thats pretty cool for a 3Ltr.

Yeah I was quite surprised myself! I think its because the engine was well maintained. It does the same as my dad's optima which is a 2L

hey dude, saw a XG30 parked next to leo burnett yesterday.. yours?

Nope that couldnt have been mine. There's another black XG30 that I've seen quite often. It look really lovely. He's got 18 inch alloys and the standard XG hood ornament. There's also a minister that has a white XG30. There's a picture of mahinda on the rear windscreen.

[streetKIA]

Here are some cool pictures I found of the XG online.

A russian automobile website said that the XG30 resembled the Silver seraph a bit. What I find is that the alloys of the rolls are similar to the XG's stock alloys, and the shape of the back(the way the body curves to the lights).

The last picture I think is not the XG30 but either a Rolls or a Bentley !

Obviously the inspiration has come from Rolls its a bit like the Chrystler 300c looks identical to a Bently in a LOT of ways !
