Hyundai Terracan is a SUV produced by Hyundai Motor Company since 2002. It is based on the 1990s Mitsubishi Pajero.
The word "Terracan" is made with two words, Terra-, which means earth, and Khan(can) meaning King. So Terracan means the King of the earth. Hyundai company had named it hoping that Terracan would indeed become the king of the earth, and king of all other SUVs.
There are 2002 (the first) model of Terracan and a 2005 model.
There are 3 different colors available for Terracan, Black, Silver, and White. The cars list price in the UK is £18,495 and the one model uses a 2.9 litre engine.
In Australia, the Highlander trim line of the Terracan caused serious confusion with the North American Toyota Highlander. Despite this, the Terracan will be discontinued after 2007 as the mid-size Veracruz crossover SUV replaces it as Hyundai's flagship SUV. As part of this strategy, Toyota Australia will replace its Kluger with the Highlander.
