The 1993 Porter was available with a regular cab, an extended cab, or a double cab. The diesel four-cylinder engine was called the Cyclone D4BX,[2] a Hyundai-built version of Mitsubishi's 4D56 2.5 liter four-cylinder.

The fourth generation is called the Porter II. In South Korea, it is available as either a single-cabin, extended-cabin or a double-cabin model. The single-cab model is available with a choice of two wheelbases, 2,430 mm (95.7 in) or 2,640 mm (103.9 in); the extended-cab is limited to the longer wheelbase; and the double-cab is limited to the shorter wheelbase.[5]

There is also a choice of two engines: a T2 (D4BH) 2.6-litre inline-four, turbocharged intercooler, which develops a maximum power of 79 PS (58 kW) at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 17 kg⋅m (123 lb⋅ft) at 2,200 rpm; or an A2 2.5-litre I4 common rail turbo diesel engine which develops a maximum power of 130 PS (96 kW) at 3,800 rpm and a maximum torque of 26 kg⋅m (188 lb⋅ft) from 1,500 to 3,500 rpm.

In January 2012, facelift version was launched in South Korea. Engine power was increased to 133 hp, 6 speed manual transmission replaced former 5 speed one, 5 speed automatic transmission replaced former 4 speed one. Also steering wheel design was changed. Safety features like airbags and reverse parking sensor were added. Convenience features such as steering wheel audio control, 7 inch navigation, hipass rear view mirror, bluetooth handsfree were added.

In August 2013, a four-wheel drive variant was added to the lineup, available only with a manual transmission.

Due to the introduction of new regulation tire pressure monitoring system, stability control and anti lock braking system became standard on every variant since 2015. But driver airbag is still optional instead of 4wd variant which doesn't offers driver airbag as option. Also, passenger side airbag and navigation option was added.

In 2016, the Porter was the best-selling vehicle in South Korea, with 44,696 vehicles delivered domestically through May 2016 (compared to 39,779 units of the Hyundai Avante in the same period).[6] Globally, Hyundai sold 99,743 Porters in 2015.[6]

In December 2019, EV version was launched in South Korea. It can go up to 211 km when charged.
