Hyundai launches 2024 Xcient Pro heavy truck model

South Korean auto giant Hyundai Motor Co. announced on Tuesday the launch of its updated heavy truck model, the '2024 Xcient Pro.'

This new model is characterized by enhanced ride comfort and convenience.

The 2024 Xcient Pro offers optional premium driver's seats manufactured by the German company ISRI, which specializes in driver seats for commercial vehicles.

These seats reduce driver fatigue and have longer maintenance intervals compared to standard seats.

Additionally, the cargo 6X4 and tractor models now include front-axle air suspension to improve ride comfort.

This system adjusts the air spring pressure according to road conditions and load weight, mitigating surface impacts.

The durability of the body, general parts, and cargo space has been enhanced.

An optional composite gate made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials is available for the 8X4 22-ton and 10X4 25-ton cargo models.

This gate is designed to prevent rust while making it easier to open and close.

Both cargo and tractor models come standard with long-lasting LED rear combination lamps.

The 6X2 tractor model offers an optional disc brake with improved durability and maintainability, featuring a splined-type design.
