Maverick challenger from Hyundai?

[Dad]

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.

That's too cool looking to not be AI.

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...

That looks like a truck designed purely for work. It would be less of a Maverick competitor than the Santa Cruz was.

Climbing over/on top of the wheel well to get in and out would suck.

Search Hyundai “commercial vehicles” on a foreign site, been around for just under 50 years. Also known as the H-100 but usually looks like this.

Power train options: 2.5L diesel or plug in electric with a claimed (wishful thinking?) 131-mile range. Deal breaker for me.

Someone else can have mine. That thing looks downright hideous.

Will never pass American crash test standards.

It’s the Hyundai Porter Potty!

In all seriousness Hyundai has a confirmed they are developing a new Body on frame mid sized truck for the U.S. market and we should see it by 2030.. It will be more a Tacoma competitor than a Maverick competitor though.

You win the internet! Whoever runs the Hyundai naming dept needs a reset. This Porter truck begs satire.

Looks more like a Toyota Land Cruiser competitor.

Looks more like a Toyota Land Cruiser competitor.

Boulder looks even more like a Toyota FJ Cruiser. The pickup is going after the Tacoma. How original! At least they copy decent vehicles.

Kind of reminds me of neighbors bulldog.
