The Hyundai Terracan is a mid-size SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company from 2001 to 2007. It was kept in production in China, by Hawtai Motor Group, until 2011.
Overview
The design of the Hyundai Terracan was originally previewed by the Hyundai Highland concept[1] and featured a chassis derived from the second generation Mitsubishi Pajero.[2] It was powered by one of three engines: a 2.9 liter diesel inline-four Hyundai J engine, a 2.5 liter diesel inline-four licensed from Mitsubishi (4D56), and a 3.5 liter petrol V6 Hyundai Sigma engine. The car's name derives from Tarascan, a Mesoamerican empire state located in west central Mexico. The Terracan was replaced by the Hyundai Veracruz.
Markets
Australia
Australian specification Terracans were available in three 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.
China
The Terracan has also been built and sold in China from 2003 to 2011 under the Hawtai brand in a joint venture with Hyundai that lasted up to 2010. Only the facelifted version was available there, and came with the 2.4 liter 4G64, a 2.5 liter diesel, 2.9 liter J-Series diesel, or the 3.5 liter Sigma V6 engine. Transmission choices were a 5-speed manual or 4 speed automatic.
2001
The Terracan was offered with three engines: a 3.5 litre V6 gasoline, a 2.5 litre diesel licensed from Mitsubishi, and a more fuel-efficient 2.9 litre diesel offered in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
2002
When the Terracan entered its second year the only changes were some additional colors.[3]
2005
