Prado Vs Terracan
Last Updated: 18 October 2009

This is a brief comparison between the Prado and the Hyundai Terracan.  I put this page up so that you can compare purely for personal interest reasons - also because the Terracan has been discontinued worldwide. 

The Prado and the Terracan where comparable in prior years, in particular with the pre-2002 Pajero which it shares the same basic platform or architecture and engines. But the Terracan had various issues which meant it wasn't a very popular model.  Nevertheless it can be purchased in the used market.

The Terracan was dated in all ways except for its engines which where state of the art.  Not surprisingly there where essentially Mitsubishi engines.
 

However as years have past Hyundai has also moved on and quality in every way including specific engines and suspension have improved dramatically. 

Hyundai have not announced a replacement for the Terracan at the time this article was posted.

To pick an easily understood example of why specifications are NOT the ultimate factor on what makes a car popular - take the example of the Toyota Corolla.  It's a consistent best seller in its class all over the world - not because it's specifications are better than other competitors but other less tangible things like perception of  reliability, reputation, cabin feel, style and price.

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories.  You should check the official Hyundai website for your country for the most up to date information.
