Hyundai Terracan (03-07) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Who said off-roaders have gone soft? Terracan is proof that the macho 4x4 still exists, and if you need a workhorse rather than fashion accessory, it fits the bill. It's cheap to buy, stacked with kit and quite capable in the rough stuff. And used prices are enticing, making it a great second car for towing horseboxes or caravans. On the down side it's not particularly nice to drive, nor comfortable.

Safety

This model has seatbelt pre-tensioners, driver and front passenger airbags, limited-slip differential for better traction, side impact bars and ABS with EBD. Security-wise, there's remote central locking, an alarm/immobiliser and a 'face-off' stereo front.

Reliability

Hyundai make generally very reliable cars and the five-year warranty is reassuring. Terracan has good panel fit and the interior is well put together, despite too much plastic and fake wood. No major problems reported from owners since it went on sale in 2003.
