In 2002, Hyundai introduced the Terracan as a replacement for the Galloper lineup, based on the first-generation Mitsubishi Pajero / Montero. With little knowledge of developing an SUV from scratch, Hyundai decided that it could disassemble the Galloper chassis and give it a new body. It also replaced engines and improved transmissions, but basically it was more or less an updated Pajero / Montero. Inside, the Terracan was already recognized as a spacious car, mostly designed for four passengers. Its huge trunk was easily accessed from behind through the wide rear door or from inside the car, thanks to the 60/40 folding rear bench. Depending on the interior trim level and options, the steering wheel received several audio system buttons. The automaker worked hard to integrate a stereo cassette and CD player into the center stack, replacing the old stereo, which was like a secondary. Under the hood, Hyundai offered a choice of two engines: a 3.5-liter gasoline V-6 and a 2.9-liter turbodiesel. Both were coupled to a 4×4 system and a high and low pressure range for the transfer case.

Hyundai designers tried to make significant changes to the interior, making the interior more upscale, at least for the higher trim level. The base version included cloth seats, power windows, locks and mirrors, an AC unit, and a decent stereo in the center console. Full-option models added leather seats, a sunroof, and wood trim throughout. Under the hood, Hyundai installed a choice of engines depending on the market. European and Australian buyers got a 2.9-liter turbodiesel, while other countries got a 3.5-liter gasoline V-6 or even a 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder engine.
