We drove a Terracan for 10 days in Costa Rica. Up to the Arenal Volcano then around the Nicoya Peninsula on mostly dirt roads. A/C on all the time. No interior diesel noise, great fuel consumption, good looking, rear seats would fall down over bumps. Center console lid would pop up all the time over bumps. Overall positive reaction. |

10.1L /100 km is the consumption according to the ADR81/01 government formula (mixed city and highway driving).
If you only do highway driving then you will get about 800Km's, based on the above formula.
745Km is the average of city and higway driving based on a tank of 75L. |

Hyundai Debuts Turbo-Diesel Terracan
Hyundai is targeting rural, heavy towing and more serious off-road drivers with the launch of its first diesel model locally - a new Terracan CRDi 4WD offering new turbo-diesel technology, plus a locally developed Trek’n’Tow suspension kit option for all Terracan models.
Affordably priced from just $37,490*, the new CRDi (Common Rail Direct Injection) badged model in Hyundai’s medium-heavy, seven-seat, dual-range Terracan 4WD wagon line-up delivers small-medium car levels of fuel economy, strong performance at extremely low engine revs especially in towing and tough terrain, minimal emissions, no black smoke or diesel smell, reduced in-cabin engine noise and all available with virtually instant key turn start-up-no waiting for ‘glow plug’ warm up.
New diesel deal
Such are the benefits of common-rail diesel, which has consigned the slow, smelly, smokey and sooty evils of older-tech ‘oilers’ to history thanks to their electronically controlled direct injection of ultra finely metered fuel into each cylinder at extremely high pressure from a common fuel rail, and performance-boosted by a turbocharger force-feeding cooled denser air for a cleaner, higher energy burn.
Fuel economy is a major reason people buy diesel 4WDs and Terracan CRDi delivers with the manual rated at just 10.1 litres/100km and the automatic just 10.3, according to the ADR81/01 government formula which is a combined city and highway regime lab test but biased to city usage. This would extend Terracan’s 75-litre tank range well past 800km of highway touring or over 700km for mainly urban driving, depending on variables.
In local pre-launch testing in predominantly flat country highway driving at the speed limit on the speedo, in hot weather with the air-conditioning on, both manual and automatic CRDi Terracan models surpassed 1000km on a tankful, the higher-geared automatic posting the best economy with an outstanding 6.96 litres/100km. In the EnergyWise Rally in New Zealand last November, a Terracan CRDi topped the Large Lifestyle/Leisure Vehicle class with economy of 7.29 l/100km in a mix of real-world urban and rural driving.
Fat and flat
Cruising in overdrive at an indicated 110kph in Terracan CRDi is quiet, with the automatic revving at only 2200rpm and the manual at 2600rpm, both well within the engine’s fat and flat maximum torque table with ready acceleration immediately on tap if needed and permitted.
The CRDi’s performance virtually equates with the petrol powered Terracan but is achieved at lower engine revs. Top torque of 345 Nm from just 1750 rpm through to 3000rpm and power peaking at 120kW at just 3800rpm are the impressive outputs of Terracan CRDi’s 2.9 litre, twin-cam, alloy head, 16-valve, four-cylinder air-to-air intercooled turbo-diesel J3 engine.
The diesel engine nestles under a massive air-to-air intercooler which is fed fresh cool air by the CRDi Terracan’s hood air scoop-the CRDi’s main distinguishing exterior feature from its V6 petrol siblings.
Heavy-duty fuel and air filters are fitted to CRDi Terracan to guard against the sometimes varying levels of diesel fuel purity in Australia and the omnipresence of dust.
The Terracan CRDi model line-up mirrors that for the 3.5 litre petrol V6 models with manual and automatic variants of Terracan and Terracan Highlander offered.
Both models offer the quality reassurance implicit in Hyundai’s long-established, fully transferable, factory five-year/130,000km new car warranty.
Trek’n’Tow Suspension Kit
A significant new Astrel accessory applicable on either diesel or petrol Terracan is the Trek’n’Tow Suspension Kit, which offers superior handling dynamics with ride comfort on and off road and when heavy towing.
Trek’n’Tow is the only after market suspension kit rated to maximize Terracan’s tow capacity to its full 2.5 tonne capacity braked trailer load, achieved by boosting its tow-ball load mass capacity to 250kg from 200 and trimming the car level when towing substantial loads via its 20mm raised rear ride height.
Terracan travellers with Trek’n’Tow are treated to smooth road tautness along with reassuring stability and big bump absorption when the going gets really challenging.
The Trek’n’Tow Kit was locally developed, tested and calibrated specifically for Terracan and uses absolute top technology, custom-made components. Long-life, variable-rate, premium chrome-silicon alloy-steel rear coil springs are cold-wound in Germany by Eibach - Formula One and World Rally Championship spring suppliers. Edelbrock shock absorbers from California minimize rougher road pitching via a patented Inertia Active System of adjustable oil flow valves factory pre-set for Terracan, while still more big bump absorption is afforded by the special aerated cellular polyurethane bump stops from Elastogran, also in Germany.
Range completed
“The addition of the turbo-diesel CRDi completes the Terracan range and positions it now as a full competitor in the larger 4WD market in Australia,” said B.G.Lee, CEO of Hyundai Motor Company Australia (HMCA).
“Terracan CRDi has been available globally for a couple of years but we waited until we were convinced low-sulphur diesel fuel distribution was complete across the country before offering common-rail turbo-diesel technology with confidence,”
“Also, we wanted to launch CRDi with Terracan’s new 2005 look and include cruise control which wasn’t available in CRDi until late 2004 production,” Mr Lee said.
HMCA’s Director of Sales & Marketing, Theo van Doore, said there was considerable pent-up demand for a modern turbo-diesel variant of Terracan among Hyundai dealers, especially in rural areas, following extensive field demonstrations over the last year.
“Terracan CRDi is as easy and pleasant to drive as its 3.5 litre V6 petrol stablemate in every day urban and highway conditions, but comes into its own when towing heavier trailers or whatever with remarkable economy or getting steeply down and up in the rough using turbo-diesel’s legendary, low-rev lugging torque and engine braking but without the compromises of older oilers,” he said.
“And if you tow a reasonably heavy rig or actually act out the 4WD dream or simply prefer a slightly sportier, more responsive handling feel, then Astrel’s Trek’n’Tow Suspension Kit is the superior solution, tailored to Terracan, whether diesel or petrol.
“Trek’n’Tow uncannily delivers handling precision and rough stuff stability with a ride softness that less-sophisticated aftermarket offerings just can’t match. The tuning to Terracan of such high technology and quality components really shows.
“The CRDi’s coming has triggered some local 4WD accessory suppliers to now look at customizing other specialized off-roading equipment for Terracan not offered by Hyundai’s accessory Astrel brand, such as snorkels, extra interior storage fitouts, auxiliary fuel tank and possibly a swing-out extra spare wheel carrier.
“In fact, SUV buyers have never had it so good - from Hyundai at least, now with three different models to choose from, Tucson, Santa Fe and now turbo-diesel in Terracan, all typically benchmark value priced,” Mr van Doore said.
Benchmark affordability
Terracan CRDi debuts as the market’s most affordable diesel 4WD wagon at $37,490* for the manual, with the automatic just $39,590*.
This mirrors its stablemate petrol Terracan which remains the most affordable seven-seat dual-range 4WD on the market at just $35,490* for the manual for the present, automatic also and which features a smooth yet spritely 3.5 litre quad-cam petrol V6 delivering peak power of 145 kW at 5500 rpm and top torque of 302 Nm at 3000rpm.
The standard Terracan’s Electronic Shift Transfer 4WD system can shift ‘on-the-fly’ from RWD (rear wheel drive) to 4WD High up to 80kph. Both High and Low ranges lock drive into 50/50 front/rear and back to RWD via a Centre Axle Disconnect System which frees the front drive shafts and gearset. A limited-slip rear differential is standard on all Terracan models.
All automatic Terracan models incorporate an extra low gearing hill descent facility which kicks in when low range and first or reverse gear is selected and no throttle applied.
Standard kit includes pollen-filtering air-conditioning, cruise control, alloy wheels including a full-size spare, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, front seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters, MP3-capable CD/FM/AM audio, remote central locking with alarm/immobilizer, electric windows and mirrors, four 12 volt power outlets and roof rails with integrated carry cross bars.
Terracan’s overall look is of elegantly straight-edged body lines, deep vision glasshouse and prominent wheel arch flares integrated into the front and rear bumpers and side cladding.
The uncluttered rear tucks the full size alloy spare wheel out of vision’s way underneath and the top-hinged tailgate offers ready access and weather protection when opened.
Terracan’s spacious and lighter-toned interior has contoured front seats, a wide, dual-bin centre console and legroom aplenty. The driver’s seat adjusts for height, tilt, backrest rake and lumbar support and the passenger seat has a storage drawer underneath. Both seats have tilting head restraints and seatback storage pockets.
The centre seats split 60/40, have four-stage backrest rake adjustments including vertical and double fold forward to offer up to 1.56 metres of storage floor length when the two third row seats are retracted.
The two separate third row seats offer mid size kids proper legroom and good side vision, both amenities compromised by competitors with tapered rear rooflines, raked rear glass and thick stylized pillars. The seats also have vertically adjustable head restraints, backrest rake adjustments and they fold up off the floor each side.
Terracan Highlander sports full-time on-demand 4WD with Active Torque Transfer, auto climate control, leather-faced cabin trim, woodgrain dash and door trim inserts and chrome door handles. Highlander CRDi manual is priced at $41,490* and $43,590* for the automatic. Petrol V6 Highlander models are $39,490* manual and, currently, automatic.
Updates
Late last year, Terracan freshened up for 2005 with matt charcoal honeycomb inserts in the upper and lower front grilles, new slimmer line front bumper with rectangular fog lights, more rounded rear bumper and cladding re-sculptured along the sides and added to the lower part of the tailgate to integrate with the new bumper and restyled taillight lens.
Inside, a new centre console offers two-bin storage with the previous CD-deep bin - with a coin rack added - now topped with a shallower tray under the padded armrest which can be raised to accommodate tall front occupants’ elbow height.
The console now also provides for the centre seat row occupants a couple of flip-down cup holders and a 12-volt power outlet. Instrument dials are now white-faced and satin chrome finish applied to the interior door release handles, transmission lever plinth and buttons for handbrake and T-bar levers.
