Hyundai H100: The Revolution in Light Trucks

Introduction

The Hyundai H100 is presented as a quiet revolution in light trucks, redefining expectations with its blend of toughness, versatility, elegance, power, economy, and practicality. It's designed to handle challenges, enhance business image, and offer a new standard of refinement and practicality, fit for the future.

Appearances That Count

Emphasizing first impressions, the H100 features a stylish and functional design. Key elements include a wide windscreen, large clear headlights, clear-type front fog and rear lights, and relaxed character lines that define its profile. Enhanced aerodynamics and wide-angle vision contribute to its advanced design. Wide-opening doors ensure easy driver and passenger access.

A New Quality of Comfort in the Workplace

The H100 prioritizes driver and passenger comfort to improve efficiency. It offers extra seat and shoulder width for freedom of movement, a driver-oriented console, and a car-like instrument cluster that puts comfort and control at the driver's fingertips. Reduced cabin noise and an optional audio system enhance the experience. Convenience features include a forward-folding center front seat, sunglasses holder, cup holders, and ample storage facilities, all combining to provide an exceptionally efficient and functional comfort.

The driver's seat is described as supportive, comparable to a high-quality saloon car.]

Stronger and Quieter Performance

Hyundai diesel engines are known for exceptional reliability and durability. The H100 is available with a powerful 2.5-liter Turbo Charger Intercooler engine (94 ps, 22.5 kg.m torque) or a 2.6-liter Natural Aspiration engine (79 ps, 17.0 kg.m torque). Both feature overhead camshafts for excellent combustion efficiency and high power output, producing less exhaust.

Cargo Space

The cargo space is designed for work efficiency, featuring a low deck height of just 745mm and an unobstructed load area. The H100 makes fast and efficient work of loading and unloading cargo weights of up to 1000 kg. Latching side walls and a bolting tailgate add extra security and cargo protection.

Chassis and Safety

The H100 is built on a tough 100 x 50 mm steel section chassis. It features double wishbone and torsion bar front suspension, and rear leaf springs. Safety features include side impact bars, single moulding body panels, and a variable cross-section cowl cross member.

Brakes

Reliable stopping power is provided by 15-inch ventilated disc brakes with a powerful 8+9 inch booster, ensuring the stopping power matches the dynamic performance. Wider section tires and a front anti-roll bar add extra precision to the enhanced power steering.

Locking Differential (LD)

The speed-activated Locking Differential (LD) is mounted in the rear axle and is more efficient than a Limited Slip Differential (LSD). It offers exceptional rough terrain maneuverability and gradient capability with lower maintenance, providing LSD functionality in road conditions at over 30 kph.

Variability and Flexibility

The H100 can be perfectly configured to suit your business needs with short and long wheelbases, and high and low platforms. Your Hyundai commercial vehicle dealer will be happy to advise and consult on all the possibilities.
