The Hyundai Terracan is a mid-size SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai from 2001 to 2007. It was based on the Hyundai Highland concept[1] and featured a chassis derived from the second generation Mitsubishi Pajero.[2] It was powered by one of two engines: a 2.9 litre inline-four Hyundai J engine, or a 3.5 litre V6 Hyundai Sigma engine. The car's name derives from Tarascan, a Mesoamerican empire state was located in west central Mexico. The Terracan was replaced by the Hyundai Veracruz.
Australian specification Terracans were available in two trim levels - base and Highlander. Highlander models came standard with leather seats, climate control airconditioning and an automatic 4wd differential that engaged 4wd on the fly. All models came with low range gearing and a separate ladder frame chassis.
The Terracan has also been built and sold in China since 2004. The facelifted version was only available and came with the 2.4 litre 4G69 engine as standard. A 4G94 engine is also available. The only transmission choice was a 5 speed manual. Pricing is currently ranging from 60,800 yuan to 69,800 yuan.
