Verdict
Grande berline coréenne de 4,87 m, très rare en France, avec un V6 essence de 3,0 litres et une boîte automatique. Nous n'avons trouvé aucune panne documentée publiquement ni cote de prix fiable : les retours publiés manquent, la prudence s'impose et un essai complet avec contrôle de l'historique d'entretien est indispensable.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2005: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Hyundai XG”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Inspection checklist
Hyundai XG I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Demander le carnet d'entretien complet : sur une voiture rare, l'historique est le seul indicateur de fiabilité.
- Vérifier que les pièces d'usure (freinage, distribution, boîte automatique) sont disponibles avant l'achat.
- Essayer la boîte automatique à froid et à chaud : à-coups, passages hésitants, glissements.
- Contrôler la climatisation, les équipements électriques et les sièges, nombreux sur cette berline très équipée.
- Faire inspecter le dessous de caisse et les trains roulants sur un exemplaire de plus de vingt ans.
Questions to ask the seller
- Quel est l'historique d'entretien et qui a entretenu la voiture ?
- La boîte automatique a-t-elle été vidangée ou réparée ?
- Pourquoi vendez-vous, et depuis combien de temps possédez-vous la voiture ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip

Read fault codes
An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
Parts and maintenance
Compare prices of parts for the Hyundai XG I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
