The Hyundai Galloper is not a name that many would recognize outside of South Korea, and especially not in the US. Its picture, however, would be instantly recognized in most parts of the world. A majority of car enthusiasts would know it by a different name, the Mitsubishi Pajero. Technically, they wouldn’t be wrong, as this is essentially a first-generation Mitsubishi Pajero built in South Korea by Hyundai from 1991-1997. When Mitsubishi introduced the 2nd generation Pajero in 1991, the production lines for the 1st generation Pajero were moved to a Hyundai factory in South Korea. Initially, it was introduced only to the South Korean market (where it became the best selling SUV in the country within the first year) but in 1994, Hyundai started exporting them to other Asian countries as well. As this generation of Galloper was limited to Asian markets, the only way these vehicles could end up in the US if they were imported from South Korea (or another Asian country where it was sold) as this one was, making it a rare vehicle to own.
Exterior and Interior
Visually, the Galloper is almost identical to the Pajero, with Hyundai making only a handful of noticeable changes. A facelift was introduced in 1994, with square headlamps and horizontal side mirrors, but this car is one of the pre-facelift vehicles with round headlamps (which give it a more classic look). The striking yellow and black color scheme from the exterior is also carried on inside the vehicle. The yellow seats and door upholstery make the black interior components stand out. The folding seats in the back are useful if you need to take a few extra friends or extended family with you. Aside from the colors, the interior is mostly stock except for an aftermarket audio player with Bluetooth connectivity which makes it much more convenient to use nowadays. On the outside, this vehicle has been fitted with black aftermarket wheels, oversized tires and halogen lighting at the front.
Engine
The Galloper was initially available with a diesel engine and a manual transmission, though an automatic and a V6 petrol engine were introduced later. This vehicle has the 2.5L TurboDiesel engine and the 5-speed manual transmission. It has a 4WD system with a manual transfer case, making it a good old-fashioned off-roader. Its capabilities are enhanced by the upgraded wheels and tires as well.
