Market prices
Price unknown: not enough online listings for a reliable estimate. Compare several listings before negotiating.
Importing this model
Prices abroad
Yearly medians of each country's listings (AutoScout24, in euros; United Kingdom: cinch dealer, in pounds), over years with at least 3 listings. Useful to judge an import (add transport, inspection and registration).
| Country | Range | Median | Gap vs France | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | €2,600 – €2,995 (2004 to 2006) | €2,650 | — | 7 |
Median gap shown only when the country's estimate covers the same years as the French one. Add transport, roadworthiness test and registration.
You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2006: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Known faults
Note: some faults below are cited by a single source only. They are still to be confirmed and the reliability score is only indicative.
Corrosion structurelle du châssis
Severity 3/3 · SeriousGetcarwise signale, sur la génération HP du Terracan, une corrosion structurelle qui réduit la rigidité du châssis. Elle fait partie des 2 défauts classés critiques pour la sécurité parmi les 5 que recense la base du site. Cette seule source n'indique ni kilométrage ni coût : faire contrôler le châssis et les longerons sur un pont avant l'achat.
Single source so far: to be confirmed.

Inspection checklist
Hyundai Terracan I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire examiner le châssis, les longerons et les bas de caisse sur un pont : la corrosion structurelle est le défaut le plus signalé.
- Demander les factures d'entretien du circuit de refroidissement : Getcarwise recommande les exemplaires qui en ont la preuve.
- Préférer un exemplaire restylé 2005-2007 en boîte manuelle, selon Getcarwise.
- Sur une boîte automatique, vérifier l'historique des vidanges et les à-coups au passage des rapports.
- Contrôler le fonctionnement des 4 roues motrices et du réducteur à l'essai.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le châssis a-t-il été contrôlé ou traité contre la corrosion, et avez-vous des photos du dessous ?
- Quand le circuit de refroidissement a-t-il été entretenu pour la dernière fois ?
- Pour une boîte automatique, quand le liquide a-t-il été changé ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
