Hyundai gives Tiburon a facelift

HYUNDAI has released a revised 2005 Tiburon with more aggressive exterior styling and interior updates.

The facelifted two-door aims to maintain the V6 Tiburon’s recent sales momentum, yet is priced $1000 more than before – despite this year’s five per cent tariff reduction for imported vehicles.

Tiburon manual is now priced at $32,990 (or $34,490 with a power tilt/slide sunroof), while the auto costs $34,680 ($36,180 with sunroof).

Headlining the changes is a deeper new lower front air intake with black mesh grille insert that’s echoed in the upper intake, while headlights are now black-bezelled and feature clear-lens indicators.
