Hyundai stated that Hyundai Starex is not the Trajet’s successor because the Grand Starex is not a minivan. The Kia Carnival-based Entourage is the closest to direct successor, but available in a limited number of markets.

The Trajet features three rows of seats. 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 a picnic area. The second and third row seats are double folding and can also be completely removed.

Standard equipment for the 2.0 GSI and 2.0 CRTD GSI (diesel version) included driver, passenger and side airbags, ABS with EBD, power steering, seat belt pre tensioners, front and rear air conditioning, electric front and rear windows, stereo RDS radio/CD unit, and sliding outer seats on second row.

The range was updated in June 2004.[2] A Trajet SE model featured a DVD player, privacy glass, SmartNav satellite navigation, and reversing sensors as standard. It was available with gasoline or diesel engines, and manual or automatic transmissions.

With the launch of the SE 2.7 V6, all previous models, of the Trajet, were upgraded. The gasoline 2.0 GSI included CVVT, which was previously available in the Coupé, and going from 133 to 139 bhp (99 to 104 kW; 135 to 141 PS) , with lowered CO2 emissions from 223 g/km to 208 g/km.[3]

Fuel consumption was also improved — the combined figure (average consumption in town and highway driving) rose from 30.4 to 32.5 mpg‑US (7.7 to 7.2 L/100 km; 36.5 to 39.0 mpg‑imp). Trajets now included three point seat belts for all rear passengers.

A new full five year unlimited mileage warranty was a feature, which was also transferable between owners. Production ended at the beginning of 2008.
