30-second brief

Hyundai PORTER II recorded cumulative registrations of 3,630 units from January to October 2026, winning dual titles in the 3.5-ton class and medium-duty truck segment, up 5.2% year-on-year, with 443 units in October setting an all-time October high.

Dual-Segment Champion in First 10 Months

HYUNDAI PORTER II recorded cumulative registrations of 3,630 units from January to October 2026, ranking No.1 in both the 3.5-ton class with gross weight of 3.2 to 3.49 tons and the medium-duty truck segment with gross weight of 2.7 to 3.49 tons, up 5.2% from the same period last year. Its market share in the 3.5-ton class reached 66%. While the overall medium-duty truck market declined 11.5% in the same period, PORTER II was the only medium-duty truck model to grow year-on-year, demonstrating steady sales momentum.

October Sales Hit Record High for the Month

Registrations in October alone reached 443 units, with a market share of nearly 84% in the 3.5-ton class, setting a new October record for PORTER II registrations. Amid an overall decline in the medium-duty truck market, its monthly market share performance stood out, reflecting highly concentrated support in the 3.5-ton segment, continued favor from commercial cargo buyers, and a consolidated market leadership position.

New Cruise Control for 5-Speed Automated Manual from November

On the product side, starting in November, PORTER II adds a cruise control system to its 5-speed automated manual models. Drivers can set the cruising speed via steering-wheel controls to maintain a constant speed under suitable road conditions, reducing the burden of keeping a foot on the accelerator during long trips. For operators handling cross-region deliveries and long hours on the road, it helps ease right-foot discomfort, maintain a steady driving rhythm, and improve long-distance comfort and convenience, while smooth cruising under appropriate conditions also helps fuel efficiency.

For payload and power, the diesel 3.5-ton standard single-cab steel-bed manual model features a 10.3-foot cargo bed with a maximum payload of 1,564 kg.

It is powered by a 2.5L common-rail turbo diesel engine, with an average fuel economy of 10.6km/L as tested by the Energy Administration. Standard equipment includes a driver SRS airbag, plastic-steel explosion-proof fuel tank, and systems such as ESC, ABS, TCS, EBD, BAS, HAC and ESS. The model range is priced from NT$778,000 to NT$988,000, with single-cab and extended single-cab models upgradeable to an original wooden bed for an additional NT$25,000.
