Is this Korean Multi -use sports car the first Toyota Landberrery competitor?

- The pioneer in Hyundai 2026 gets a dangerous, taller, tougher glow, and aims directly to the land and periodicals.
- The new XRT Pro variable brings a real off -road balance with all terrain frames, locking teams, and terrain patterns made for Australian conditions.
- But with the capacity of the diameter much less than the big boys, it may lose the most analog adventurers.
Hyundai torn the new 2026 inventory completely. It was unveiled at the New York Auto exhibition during the weekend on Easter, where the leading Korean SUV is getting more space, more possibility, and better off-road capacity-taking the goal of Australian candidates such as Toyota LandCruiser and Nissan Patrol.
The suggestion is that this is not soft soft with strong plastic cladding. Hyundai wants you to think that the new inventory means business, especially in XRT Pro Guise.
The 2026 model is larger, with another 70 mm wheelbase. translation? More space for your colleagues, children and weekend equipment. The redorial glasses include a larger panoramic side, flooding the third row with light and improving vision – a welcome upgrade for those narrow rear seats.
Under the hood, there is an updated 3.5 -liter V6 Petroleum, but the real story is the hybrid hybrid option at all. The 2.5-liter Turbo Hybrid setting provides an estimated 245 kW and 460 nm-while it is better than 7.8 liters/100 km.
However, noting that Hyundai Australia has not confirmed the details of power generation down.

But the new XRT Pro must make Aussie 4wders sit and notice. This is not just a design package like Santa Fe XRT- There are functional promotions for off-road SUV accreditation papers. For beginners, XRT Pro gets a limited sliding background, 213 mm of ground clearance-approximately (approximately) of standard models and a decent approach (20.5 degrees), leaving (22.4 degrees) and spreading angles (18.3 degrees). It also rolls on Rubber Rubber hooks and fully functional sports, which are drawn in light red, naturally.
Hyundai also added new terrain modes, including clay, sand and snow settings-ideal for various Australian conditions, from driving on the beach to the country’s adventures.
Here is rubbing, although the diameter capacity has been covered at about 2268 kg for V6 and even less (about 1814 kg) hybrid. This is much lower than LandCruiser and Patrol capacity of 3500 kg, frankly, for Australian buyers looking to withdraw caravans, horses, or dangerous boats. Let’s be honest. This is half the reason that buys these large excavators in the first place.

Inside, Hyundai Premium went without forgetting the practical application. The cabin is characterized by planning a horizontal impulse with soft touch materials, panoramic shows, and sitting for up to eight.
Will the new Australians be seized from their players and their beloved patrols?
With this diameter restrictions, its work will be cut. But for those who sometimes ventured on rough roads and do not need Simpson, the new inventory may be worth a look when he reaches Australia, probably in late 2025.
