The Hyundai H-100 is not a single model but an export badge. Hyundai Motor Company uses it abroad for two related light vehicles: the Porter pickup truck and the Grace van and minibus. Both are small cab-over machines, and both are discussed in their own pages.

Based on one very short source: the English Wikipedia page for the H-100 is a two-line name entry, so this page is much shorter than usual.

History of the Hyundai H-100

The H-100 badge covers the light commercial side of Hyundai’s export range. The first of the two vehicles is the Porter, the small pickup truck that Hyundai has sold in large numbers in Korea and beyond; the second is the Grace, the van and minibus that Hyundai built as its version of the Mitsubishi Delica family.

Because the name is shared, buyers can meet an H-100 pickup and an H-100 van in the same market. The two vehicles have little in common beyond their size and their cab-over layout, and they are described separately on this site.

Design and features

  • Shared badge: the same H-100 name covers a pickup and a van.
  • Light commercial focus: both vehicles are small cab-over machines for trade and passenger work.
  • Export only: the name is used outside Korea, where the vehicles have their own model names.

Hyundai H-100 versions

  • H-100 pickup: the export name of the Hyundai Porter.
  • H-100 van and minibus: the export name of the Hyundai Grace.

The two vehicles behind the name are the Porter pickup and the Grace van, the latter related to the Starex line. More Hyundai models are in the Hyundai collection.
