It's belt cam and needs to be automatic because the manual five-speed had a peculiar set of gear ratios for hauling caravans. Very low 1st and 2nd, then a huge gap to 3rd make it horrible to drive solo. Test here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/hyundai/hyundai-sa.../

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
