The Hyundai Trajet (Hangul: 현대 트라제 ; pronounced as trajay), is a seven-seater car that was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company between 1999 and 2008. Described as a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the series was officially launched in 1999, with the 2.0 GSI model and choices of gasoline, diesel, or LPG fuel. A limited-edition SE version with a 2.7 V6 engine was added in 2001.
Sales began in South Korea in spring 1999 and the UK premiere was at the London Motorfair in October of that year.[3] Vehicle sales in Europe began in spring 2000.
The name is derived from the French word "trajet" which means "journey",[4] "path, walk, course, haul, itinerary"[5] or to "travel from one point to another." In South Korea, it was marketed as the Hyundai Trajet XG to align it with the more luxurious Grandeur XG which uses the same platform.[6][7]
