Hyundai Trajet
The Hyundai Trajet (Hangul: 현대 트라제 ; pronounced as tra-jay, derived from the French word, meaning "travel from one point to another"), ) is an 8-seater multi-purpose vehicle that was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company between 1999 and 2008. The series was launched in 1999 with the 2.0 GSI models and a choice of gasoline, diesel or LPG power, followed by the limited edition SE 2.7 V6 in 2001.
The Trajet models have three rows of seats. A variety of seating configurations allows for extra luggage space, and the seats can be removed to accommodate larger items. The front seats can rotate through 180 degrees to face the passengers at the back when the car is stationary, and the back seats can also be turned into tables, making a virtual office space or picnic area.
Hyundai stated that Hyundai Starex is not the Trajet's successor, because the Grand Starex is not a minivan. The Kia-based Entourage is the closest thing to direct successor, but it is only available in a limited number of markets. The Trajet competed in the same market segment as Kia Carnival and Toyota Sienna.
