Like the Odyssey, the Entourage has a tray between the front seats that folds down. Even the inside door handles for the second row seem the same. The Entourage's third row folds flat into the floor, too, a feature first introduced with the Odyssey.
The Entourage's basic controls are pleasingly simple and easy to operate. The leather upholstery on the Limited model contributes to the feeling that the Entourage is aimed at some pampering and not just day-to-day transportation.
The Entourage's second row uses individual captain's chairs, each of which can be moved forward or rearward seven inches. That is a helpful feature that allows some flexibility with legroom and cargo capacity.
Flexibility is a good thing for anybody planning to sit in the third row. Like most third rows it is designed for small to mid-size children.
But it is worth noting that Hyundai measures what appears to be a generous 34 inches of third-row legroom with the second-row captain's chairs in their forward-most position. The reality is 27 inches of third-row legroom if the people in the captain's chairs insist on their maximum legroom.
The third row can easily be folded into the floor and a spring-loaded mechanism makes it easier to pull up than the third row on the Honda Odyssey.
Hyundai rates the cargo capacity behind the third row at 32 cubic feet. That's about twice the size of the trunk of a mid-size sedan but such calculations typically involve stacking stuff to the roof. With the third row folded flat, the cargo capacity increases to 80 cubic feet, according to Hyundai.
