This year, the pickup truck will be unveiled.
The Hyundai Porter (H100 in certain markets) is one of the most popular pickup trucks within the automotive industry. The Hyundai Porter (H-100 in some markets) has been in production since 1977. It is currently in its fourth generation. Although it is primarily a South Korean product, the rear-wheel drive cab-over truck can also be found in Algeria, Pakistan and other countries.
Santa Cruz is the perfect choice. HyundaN The company is preparing to launch a more sophisticated utilitarian model that has true global appeal than the Porter workhorse. The most striking spy photos of the pickup, taken a month ago, have been transformed by AtchaCars These renderings must be very accurate.
In recent years, Hyundai’s designs have changed from plain-looking models in the 2000s to more stylish sedans like Sonata and Elantra, as well as SUVs like the Genesis GV80 or Hyundai’s Palisade. This unique design DNA will soon be visible on a lifestyle pickup. The spy shots show that it will stand out in its class.
The front fascia will be the focal point of the design. It will feature a quirky grille that morphs with the upper lights, much in the same way as the next-generation Tucson. The Santa Cruz will use the same split headlight design that was used on the Palisade. The truck’s back was camouflaged with spy photos, but it couldn’t conceal what appeared to be a small bed a la Honda Ridgeline.
Our guess about the interior design is just as accurate as ours, but logic says it will share some parts with the all new Tucson later in the year. Although the Santa Cruz will have a more compact cabin than its predecessor, we expect it to be ruggeder.
Six years after the Santa Cruz idea, the Alabama-built truck will go into production in 2021. The expansion project, which is expected to cost $410 million, will create 1,200 direct and indirect jobs. It could be revealed by the end of the year.
