The Tiburon is available in four trims: the GS, GT, GT Limited, and SE. The base GS model has a 138 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission. A 172 hp 2.7-liter V6 engine powers the other models, with the GT models carrying a five-speed manual or available four-speed automatic transmission, and the SE models carrying a six-speed manual transmission. Safety features such as side-impact airbags and four-wheel antilock brakes come standard. The 2008 Hyundai Tiburon is a carryover from 2007.
