The 2008 Hyundai Entourage is a cleanly styled minivan, with a silhouette shared by its corporate cousin, the Kia Sedona. It’s a basic one-box design that is simply styled and features little detailing.

Noting that the "Entourage and Sedona are very close in appearance," Automotive.com describes the Hyundai Entourage 2008 as "crisp and contemporary, perhaps a little more interesting than the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, but certainly not as unusual as the Nissan Quest." Cars.com acknowledges that the Hyundai Entourage 2008 is a "nice-looking minivan -- not as homely (GM) or polarizing (Nissan Quest) as some," but suggests "if you're looking for high fashion, you're shopping in the wrong vehicle class." In any event, this 2008 Hyundai seems to be very generic in appearance; Kelley Blue Book observes that "except for details of the grille, headlamps and lower air intake up front, not much differentiates the Entourage from Kia's Sedona...both look a lot like most minivans on the road."

The Entourage’s interior elicits few raves and few complaints from reviewers. MyRide.com reports that the 2008 Hyundai Entourage interior offers "pleasant yet functional surroundings." Cars.com is not sold on the "stripped-down [2008 Hyundai] GLS model's velour-style upholstery, which appears on the door panels in addition to the seats," suggesting that while it "gives the cabin a warmer feel than some of the new woven-cloth fabrics that are spreading throughout the market," the cloth fabrics are of a higher quality. Kelley Blue Book disagrees on this point, stating that the "fuzzy suede-like fabric in the handsome two-tone interior" gives the Hyundai Entourage 2008 "an upscale look and promises easy care," but notes that its "durability compared to other materials is uncertain."
