Hyundai Terracan crde 2.9L 2004

5 star review

I have been an SUV buff for quite some time. Out of all new and and old SUV’s I selected a Terracan for myself for its responsive engine. You feel one with the vehicle when you drive it and the torque delivered is fantastic. It is a good package for its price. Go for it!

Hyundai Terracan 2.9 CRDi 2004

4 star review

Had the Auto Terri’ for two years, with one previous owner - bought specifically for pulling a boat (which it did effortlessly) and winter journeys across the Highlands. POSITIVES: excellent value for money. Loads of space inside with lounging comfort. Expensive looking, well-built black interior with full leather. Loads of torquey pulling power from engine and 4 speed (plus OD) autobox. Honest, hardworking image. Proven winter and serious off-road ability with electronic "shift on the fly" transfer (rescued a number of other vehicles including £70k Cayenne!) Reasonable economy - up to 35mpg. NEGATIVES: part-time 4wd only possible on low-friction surfaces, ie NOT during normal on-road driving. Some parts slow to obtain and sometimes pricey. Very ’common rear diff’ problems/shudder. Fuel pump failure leading to injector problems (as with mine - £2,500 cost of replacement). Cost of 60k mile belts changing service (from £1,000 at main dealer). Ride can be a bit knobbly. SUMMARY: After changing for a 7 seat people carrier with much lower running costs, I still miss the Terri’ every day and if enough of my numbers came up in the Lottery, I would buy my old friend back again. Really!

Hyundai Terracan 2004

5 star review

I bought a second-hand Terracan after having a new van (twin axle), we love it, would have another one tommorow. Only done 40,000 miles, has anyone else had trouble with their immobiliser’s? Ours has been causing trouble with the central locking the car lock’s itself have had it in dealership and they have said it’s the immobiliser will cost over £350.00, as luck would have it it went wrong just before the warranty ran out how lucky were we? Question: Would we buy another one? OH YES! Love the car to bits MY WIFE’S LEARNIG TO DRIVE IN IT, NEVER SEEN PEOPLE MOVE SO FAST WHEN THEY SEE IT COMING TOWARDS THEM WITH L PLATES ON IT! She even calls it ’Terry’

Hyundai Terracan 2004

5 star review

Terracan my first 4x4 - puchased March ’04. Hobbies shooting / fishing so some off road. Impressed - in low ratio will climb a wall! (AT tyres - not noisy). Initially mainly motorway / A roads 28 mpg and annual mileage 32K but since retiring much less. Now coming up to 6 years old 100,000 miles and apart from minor replacements - all taken car of under warrenty - trouble free. Due for MoT and I know some suspension wear (rattle} but if this cost me a few £100 so what as my only expense to date is serving costs - far too high at main dealers. I’m now using local garage 1/2 the price. Overall I’m greatly impressed with my Terracan and as it’s current trade price is less than 1st years depreciation on new intend running to death.

Hyundai Terracan 3.5V6 7 seater 2004

4 star review

We currently live in Perth, Australia and bought a Terracan with the 3.5V6 petrol engine, auto, 7 seats and Tow n Trek pack. This transforms the lumpy suspension. The 3.5 engine is brilliant - smooth, powerful, but drinks fuel like its going out of fashion. Not a problem in Oz, but we’re thinking of shipping it back to the UK, and would be an issue there. Servicing here is cheap, which is good because it needs servicing every few thousand miles. Brilliant off-road: use it a lot in the bush and it takes pretty much anything you throw at it. Its an old Shogun underneath that has been fitted with additional off-road protection, so its a proven chassis etc. The auto + v6 power make it great on sand: many a Landcruiser / Patrol driver has had a shock as I’ve driven past them, and with my tyre pressures still on normal ! 7 seats are really useful, but not an option in the UK apparently. If they could sell this version in the UK with reasonable fuel consumption would be amazing value for money. They’re a similar price over here, but can be imported: note the Aussie warranty won’t be valid though, and parts for the engine would need to come from Korea. Great no nonsense off-roader that’s OK on road with the Tow n Trek pack fitted.
