History
=== First generation (1977–1981) === The first generation, launched in March 1977, was called the Hyundai HD1000 and was available as a truck or as a minibus (3 and 12-seater van, ambulance, introduced in January 1978). The truck was marketed as the Porter. It used the chassis of the first generation Ford Transit, but with locally developed, angular bodywork reminiscent of Japanese commercial vehicles from the period. The HD1000 was discontinued in 1981, subsequent to a government imposed rationalization drive; Hyundai was only allowed to build passenger automobiles as a result.

It was built with the following body styles: 2-door truck, 4-door truck, 3-door van and 4-door van. Upgrade. The upgraded second generation was a facelifted version of the second generation model.

The third generation, called the New Porter that based on Hyundai Grace, was launched in March 1996. It was built as
