Hyundai power for boaties who want the best

New Zealand boaties can soon share the affordable high quality enjoyed by Hyundai vehicle owners.

A highly-developed range of powerful diesel marine engines known as Hyundai SeasAll is now becoming available throughout the country.Hyundai SeasAll, a corporate venture network of Hyundai-Kia Motors is a dedicated marine engine developer and manufacturer whose range will be expanded based on the Hyundai’s premier engine technology and proven power

The first two models of Hyundai SeasAll are an inline four cylinder 2.2 litre and a V6 3.0 litre in the range of 150~250 hp. An electronic engine management and common rail fuel injection system optimises engine power, fuel consumption and reduces emissions dramatically. They are available in sterndrive, shaft drive, with ZF down angle or V-drive gearboxes, or in jet drive configurations. The engines are designed for pleasure, or for the light duty commercial boaties seeking re-power or building a new craft.

“New Zealand boaties are looking for premium quality, efficient and cost-effective alternative marine engines – Hyundai SeasAll fits the bill exactly,” explains the Business Development Manager of the importer Allpower Industries, Mark Harrison.
“Initially we are launching with two advanced diesel engines, 170hp and 250hp.

“Both feature common-rail injection technology as well as an electronically-controlled variable geometry turbo for increased performance.

“These engines will suit pleasure boaties with craft anywhere from six meters up to 10 meters depending on the customer’s needs. The engines are available in Sterndrive, shaft or jet ready configurations.

“Best of all, Kiwis will be pleasantly surprised with the price tag; despite their highly advanced technology these marine engines will be competitively priced.

“My advice to any Kiwi boaties considering a new powerplant is, don’t make any decisions until you’ve had a look at Hyundai SeasAll.

Mr Harrison explains all Hyundai SeasAll engines will share the world-leading common-rail diesel technology which has made Hyundai a world leader in road vehicles.

“That’s the base technology from which the Korean research and development engineers have developed these innovative marine engines.

“Years of cutting-edge work at the Powertrain R&D Centre has adapted Hyundai’s world-class automotive technology and proven power for marine use.

“Hyundai SeasAll has placed great emphasis on superb fuel efficiency, lowering emissions to keep our waters cleaner and usable power hidden behind quietness enhancing the joy of powering across the water.

“Just as it has done with cars, SUVs and vans, Hyundai is aiming to become
one of the world’s leading marine engine manufacturers.

“Hyundai SeasAll displayed the latest-generation inline 4 cylinder 2.2-litre and V6 3-litre common-rail engines at the Korea International boatshow this year, and attracted big interest from across Asia, the USA and around the Pacific Rim.

“We also displayed at the Auckland International Boat Show this year, these are the engines we are now bringing to New Zealand boat owners,” said Mr Harrison.

The engine range will be expanded in time to include engines from 1.6-litre variants to above 12-litre diesels, which will cover a large range of vessels.

Allpower Industries, established for 30 years in Australia and approaching its second anniversary in New Zealand, is now accepting applications from retail dealers aspiring to become Hyundai SeasAll agents.

“Our dealers are integral to the success of the Hyundai SeasAll brand and we are being quite selective as we put together a nationwide network,” said Mr Harrison.

“As well as high levels of market knowledge and service, we want our dealers to be profitable – which is the same approach Hyundai takes with its motor vehicles,” he said.
