The Hyundai County has a big body structure which makes it withstand the necessary load and also able to carry the capacity of passengers it is designed to.

The exterior has a front bumper which adds an elegant body styling to the Hyundai County.

In most cases, tinted glass is used to cover the exterior top view and in other cases, the glasses are plain thereby allowing passengers to see the outside clearly. The painted glass is used to provide a thematic continuity between the side glass and rear section.

Interior

The Hyundai County is not a sports car or a luxury car hence you wouldn’t expect it to have a sophisticated, luxurious interior design.

However, the County has a roomy cabin which provides great comfort to the passenger. This cabin is wider and taller making sure the passenger no matter how tall does not hit their head on the roof of the cabin. It’s also wide enough so that it can accommodate relatively large people.

The seats are made of wool which have a great elegance that matches the county design beauty. The Driver seat is a bucket type and is automatically adjustable providing lower back support to the driver as this helps to keep the driver alert and the lumbar support helps to greatly reduce drivers fatigue in case of long trips. Over each passenger seat is an air conditioning louver that can be easily controlled to each passenger’s taste and desire.

Also included in the interior is a H-420 audio system with high fidelity 5.25 inches speakers which are delivered in a concert hall-like manner across the cabin ensuring everyone hears properly.
