Reminds me of this from my childhood.

The 2026 Hyundai Porter is not sold in the USA. It is primarily available in various countries in Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Australia.
In a high speed collision, it might get a little tight in the cab...
It does look interesting though.
EDIT: Did a search on the 2025 Hyundai Porter and there are many completely different pictures of it, some like a tricked out couple, a small pickup truck and something close to the picture above.
They all say it's the 26 Porter. Misinformation abounds on the web...

As long as you don't mind being a large part of the crumple zone, it's probably OK!

Lets see....where have I seen this design before....

Kind of reminds me of neighbors bulldog.

Hey, don’t insult your neighbors bulldog!

Yup. We've been there done that.
No thank you.

This would be lighter stronger and easier to park. This could also be design to have the rear wheels closer to the middle of the bed. If required by law this would encourage drivers to be more careful in their driving practices. Done this way the maverick could have a 7 foot bed in its 201 inch footprint with no weight gain.

That all had one thing in common, in case of a crash the first line of defense was the occupants legs! (VW also had one)

Personally, I would not be seen in that thing.

Toyota (Hilux) Champ (Scout) (Stout) work truck may be the most reliable abroad, but(t) ugly!

I like the fold-down sides though.

No, not the discontinued Santa Cruz, but the Porter. Found an advertisement for it on Facebook, but nothing on Hyundai’s website., so who knows. One thing for sure, it begs design questions.

The "Porter"? "Did you want me to toast your bagel sir?"

Looks like a Kei truck. Not legal in the over regulated USA. I like it.

There's plenty of jacked up pickups around that are just as difficult. Any cab over or forward cab would be like that. This one might be better lowered.

Kind of reminds me of the VW bus.

Now Hyundai is posting this photo of their proposed truck project. Who’s running their advertisement campaign?
