Hyundai does not build many cars like the Hyundai Porter with Diesel engine, built from 1977 as the oil crises and the first emissions rules rewired the industry.

How it came about

The Hyundai Porter (Korean: 현대 포터), also known as the Hyundai H-100, is a cabover Pickup truck produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1977.

The hardware

Under the skin sits Diesel engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual (T2 engine) / 6-speed manual (A2 engine) / 4-speed automatic / 5-speed automatic / 1-speed fixed gear ratio (EV). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Family and rivals

Where it sits in Hyundai's history is not in doubt: it was built at Ulsan, South Korea. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the BMW 7 Series, the Lotus Esprit, the GM (General Motors) Saab 900. Its Hyundai stablemates include the Hyundai Accent WRC and the Hyundai Accent.

The money

There is no federal ownership record for the Hyundai Porter — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
