The Hyundai Aslan is one of 150 Hyundai models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2014. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Hyundai Aslan properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Ferrari Ferrari 488, the Infiniti Infiniti Q50, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Camaro — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Hyundai Aslan reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 3.0 L Hyundai Lambda engine#G6DG / Lambda II Gasoline direct injection / GDI V6 engine / V6 / 3.3 L Hyundai Lambda engine#G6DH / Lambda II GDI V6; quoted output is 266-270 PS (3.0 L) / 290-294 PS (3.3 L); kerb weight is recorded at 1665 -; drive goes through 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic (2014–2016) / 8-speed automatic (2017); the layout is Transverse Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 160 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Hyundai story

Within Hyundai's own catalogue the Hyundai Aslan sits alongside the Hyundai Accent WRC, the Hyundai Accent, the Hyundai Atos, the Hyundai Aura. The record names the Hyundai Dynasty as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Assembly is recorded at South Korea: Asan (Hyundai Motor Company Asan Plant).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Hyundai Aslan costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
