Thank you for the review. I'm considering buying an RV for the first time. My 90 year old Korea War veteran father recently passed away and was buried with military honors 2 days ago here in America. I took care of him and my mother until be their last breathe these last five years. Right now, I just want to get in an RV with my dogs, drive somewhere to clear my head, find myself again and be free to grieve without anybody telling how especially by people who don't know what it's like to lose both parents and never been their parents caregiver who had debilitating illnesses. Its exhausting and I'm glad I was able to be there holding their hand until the very end. 🇺🇸🇰🇷 Rest in peace Mom and Dad. 🙏💞
Very sorry for your losses. My mom passed in January; I was her caretaker/only child/travel buddy roommate since her husband passed 5 years ago. A huge part of me wants to get an RV, adopt 2 dogs & wander for a while. I hope you get to get away, find peace and some happy places. Stay safe, well & blessed.
@@robgindc1 Thank you and I'm very sorry for your loss too. Learning to live without then is very challenging. I wish the you the same and may you find your dogs. Their unconditional love made my losses more bearable. Be safe and well too.
Hyundai would have to build multiple plants to build this in the United States. It would be the only way they could keep up with the demand! This would absolutely Crush the RV World in the US. Can't wait for this to come.
For now Hyundai has no plans to export this motorhome. But hopefully Hyundai will change their mind. Thanks DeanMartin 64. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

LOL. Sorry no can do. This camping car is very tall and high with very high center of gravity, so it was not fun. Thanks for watching our motorhome or camping car from Hyundai. Thanks Moonwalker.
Very well thought out and an amazing price. It might not be big enough to hold many American egos but those that want a simple and affordable way to travel it fits the bill.
This guy is not qualified to tell you if this is a good RV to buy or not. He doesn't RV. This RV will have a lot of trouble climbing 6% and 10% grades out west I promise you. My credentials: I've been RVing the west for 12 years.
It would be a great move to bring prices of motor homes down. Here in the states, sportsmobile, winnebago, and other makers charge a ridiculous amount for these things. 90-100k is not what I would consider a fair price.

$100,000 here for junk that will leak within the first year you buy it it's all about gouging money out of people this motorhome is beautiful look at all the amenities inside
@Drakilicious I suspect it is not intended for normal people, but rather, the wealthy families who want to occasionally cosplay as middle-class folk. I went camping last year and the ratio of tents to campers was 50%. It was pretty surprising.
Yeah, i mean, but it was hot on the filming day and producer Kim was telling me the same thing. Thanks for watching our review on the 1st motorhome or camping car from Hyundai. Thanks Alek.
@@AsianPetrolhead Perhaps Hyundai's finest engineers and designers can convert the front passenger seat into a cooking area for delicious korean foods like 삼겹살구이 especially if you are a 뚱보
I enjoyed the review. I could actually see myself buying one of these at that price point if they bring it to the US. However, they’re going to need to change that name.
As someone who is researching RV's at the moment, I think this is an amazing option for someone with kids who is interested in a Van build, it gives you all of the amenities, and actual live-able interior height, but I have some concerns: 1. For the price-point (comparing to actual motorhomes), I would have loved for the button controlling the smart room to have been on the inside of the rig, and I did not see any sort of leveling gear? 2. There is no propane storage/easy hookups 3. The cartridge for the toilet is interesting but is it reusable? 4. I would have loved to see easy solar hookup or solar prep, if this doesn't already come with a solar panel installed 5. What is the fresh water and grey water capacity on this? and how do you dump your grey water? 6. Again for the price-point, I feel like a backup camera should have been included. 7. I hope the microwave is at least a convection? 8. I did not see an outlet in the kitchen area where one could easily plug in a cooktop? 9. The bathroom seems really amazing for the space given, I would have loved to see you step into the shower, as a taller person I fear the shower needs to be taller, I also feel like that basin is unnecessary and cumbersome, also is there a fan in bathroom for ventilation, and can you sit on the toilet while the door is closed? 10. Is there storage underneath the 2 passenger seats? And what is the seatbelt situation? Can you hook up child car seats? Although all of those issues sounded negative, I do think they are easy details to take care of, but all in all this is a very interesting concept, I actually would really consider getting this RV as I think it would be perfect for especially National Parks etc.
Husband and I are looking forward to seeing this in the United States. We really want a small camper no longer than 19 feet. On a side note that's a horrible name .
Hyundai has moved like no other automotive car maker in recent years. Carry more of that technology over to this vehicle before you ship it to the US - by adding a few hundred dollars worth of these refinements you'll find a willing market here. Hundai may want to consider the ground clearance for people who don't necessarily camp on level concrete pads and AWD. Solar capability is almost a must have in 2020. After they see how well it sells in Korea, I hope they'll consider the US market.
Those are great idea. Are you listening Hyundai? AWD and more ground clearance. Thank you for watching our review on the 1st RV, motorhome or camping car from Hyundai.
Imagine if Hyundai makes this for the us consumer direct from a dealer ... that would be amazing ( one thing would top it ... if they make an off-roading version lifted suspension, metal bull-bars , lights , wrench ect and the amenities and tech that came with their new sonata and genesis and bring some cool off-road tech exterior look to it ... it would be baller If they do that ... I have no prob getting one and I feel it would be a hot seller for the overlanding ( off-roading ) community

@@AsianPetrolhead Do you have shorter one? To me, the high bed in the front and the sofa bed is enough. No need the bed on the rear. But a shorter bus is easier to drive and park. Also with smaller van, the price should also be more friendly to people. Thanks!
I think it is advisable to install more positioning lights along the body, reflective panels. When traveling more safely, other vehicles are easily recognized when operating on the highway. Given the large size of the vehicle and the extended width, this is a necessity.

This things looks so well engineered that even with its modern aesthetic all I think it would take to dominate the western market is 4x4. So much of that internal layout is genius.
If it was well-engineered it wouldn't have the trouble it will have climbing 6% and 10% grades out west. This guy is not qualified to tell you if this is a good RV to buy or not. He doesn't RV.

I have owned a Hyundai Starex 2.5 Premium 2012 for ten years now. It has a little over 184k km. At 5yrs just 2 weeks before the warranty ran out the service department discovered a problem with the engine and ended up replacing most of the engine. The Starex was a great daily driver. We always had it serviced at the dealer and had no complaints. Service from staff is excellent. So we are more than willing to buy another Hyundai. I would highly recommend Hyundai consider expanding their market to the US and selling the Porest there as a base cabover truck with an accessory detachable truck camper for part time campers and consider the same for the KIA Bongo platform. Thanks again for the excellent review. Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
This is almost my perfect camper. Raise it a few inches and add at least an AWD option (I don't need true 4wd but I know others will want it) and if it's sold in the USA at this same price point, I would buy it in a second. A pocket door option to close off the dedicated bedroom would also be nice, but I guess I could always add that later.
Me and my husband are ready to buy one now but seeing this -- thinking to just have more patience until this come out in 🇺🇸 .. Hoping it'll come out in the next few months!!
For the North American market, a 2 burner stove--pprop;ane usually--is mandatory not just for self-contained motorhomes but even for minimalist camper vans.

Occasionally a person sleeping in an RV or van has to quickly move the vehicle in the middle of the night, due to noisy or harassing people. I hope that sliding room can be closed from inside of the RV, instead of standing outside to close it.
Well, the smart room is only closed from outside for safety issues. Thanks R. C. And if you love and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Absolutely bring to North America ASAP...suggestion is to make the slider an option (not needed and introduces cost/complexity - so cheaper still, and great for 2 people) and add option for inductive cooking vs. microwave...looks awesome otherwise...
You shouldn't. This guy is not qualified to tell you if this is a good RV to buy or not. He doesn't RV.

There are some smart designs in it, perfect wash room, A/C and front bed are great but there is no stove, no trash can, no hanging closet and in general too few wardrobes to put your stuff especially for four. I think no matter how organized you are, with for people there would be constant disorder in there. Also didn’t see any outlets! 4 people means a lot of devices to charge. I think you should increase the length with 14-15 inches and fix these shortfalls and incorporate some additional storage below the seats in the front if possible. I don’t see the need for 6 beds in such a small camper. In the back you should split the window and move them to the sides so that you could put an “overhead” storage instead of the back window. Of course in that case you gotta sleep with head to front which makes harder to come out of the sleeping box but it may be a good trade-off for some extra storage. With a bit smaller storage it might not even necessary to make. Pretty important spec the water capacity and the battery type and size which we didn’t get any info of either. Make sure to mention those in the next review. Overall the price sounds good yet the value for money ratio could and should be increased.

This RV would be a big seller in the US as this Class B sleeps 4. Most of the Class B’s only sleeps 2. One comment the control of the smart bed in the back should be located in the main cabin and not in back of the storage. This would eliminate getting wet if its raining or snowing outside when you arrive at your campsite and your trying to setup your camp.

Yes, Roy. Hyundai will have to get new name before exporting this RV, camping car or motorhome to US. Well, you guys have strict regulation about the diesel engines, so probably not. Thanks Roy. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
The diesel would give it decent mileage and range. European diesel emissions standards are pretty strict too. They should be able to meet the US standards. A gas version wouldn't get more than low teens, mpg.
Sure hope it comes to the US! Here RVs are famous for having atrocious (or non-existent) quality control. You buy a brand-new RV, drive it home, and the next day you find out half the things don't even work in the RV. And the dealers give exactly zero f**ks and will happily take 2 or 3 months to fix your brand new RV, because warranty work doesn't make them any money and RV lemon laws don't exist.

The Porter (in Japan ) H100 in Africa has a small cab frame, I think the H1 MPV frame would have worked better, the competition has wider cab, it seems to be riding too close to the ground on the rear, but could be higher than it looks on video. I suppose Hyundai is testing the market, I like the fact that it's a compact car ladies would love it's nimbleness. That retractable rear definitely makes it expensive, (electric) all nice inside
I'm researching RVs for the outward future, like 5 years. This looks awesome. I've never seen a bed come down from the ceiling. That's inventive engineering. The price point looks excellent also. I'm mostly looking for a RV that is city drive-able and able to spend extended time traveling around America. This looks like a good fit.

I am from the U.S. and am highly impressed with this camper. I agree with Charles Mackey. The raised ground clearance would be a big issue for me, it’s a must. It looked to me as though they would only have to raise those side panels to accomplish it. I could see Solar and AWD as options but not necessary. I absolutely loved the rear passenger chair versatility and the bed coming down from the ceiling! The extra bed in the rear was great, as well as the large fridge. Most small campers I have seen only have a very small fridge. Whether the rear bed was present or if it was changed to two twin beds perpendicularly in the lower price point, I would still buy it. My only concern would be how well the smaller motor could pull the camper through the mountains, Rockies or Appalachians. Even the smoothest highways can get steep. Thanks for such a great review!
I rather liked it. Especially that drop down bed feature. Very nice. Nice little wet bath inside as well. And that fridge is huge. I also like all the stainless steel around the sink.
It’s good and compact the extension feature is great , but where is the tv and the stove, I like that it has a ac unit which runs on battery , it will be good for a couple , 4 people a tad tight
Hi Prezo. Thank you for watching our Hyundai motorhome review. There's TV right left side of the entrance. But unfortunately there isn't any stove. Thank you for tuning in.
The engine reminds me of some of the old Toyota RVs from the 70-80's. Wondering if they offer solar. The layout is nice. The mirrored sink will be an issue for fingerprints, but that's life. Still like the design 😍 Perfect for one traveler or a couple. That's all I need.
Be prepared to be in 1st to 3rd gear low HP gas USA, no mileage review, you did a GREAT error by not driving it in moderate hilly area. Steep hills forget it. Under HP you stress drivetrain, here come the repairs, did you bring up the cooling CAPACITY of the engine? Not Very misleading review. Did you evaluate the quality of the components or give frame floor specs, or grey dark water specs. Air CON Furnace? Very poor review and misleading.
Get this RV over there in the USA it will sell very well.... I will be the first one to buy one ..I have two Kia's and Love them...I want to sell my trailer and move into a RV and this is a sensible choice and I can park it at my home ......

That's amazing. The only think that could be improved upon is the bathroom. There's a lot of dead space in the upper half that isn't used most of the time. The whole bathroom could be enclosed and counter height unless in use, which is when an accordion-type door (like the one used) could enclose the area from the counter top to ceiling. Of course other details, like having a hose with a shower head that can be attached to the wall, would be easy to work out.
I'm a Hyundai fan. I have been driving Hyundai's since the mid 80's when I was in South Korea for a few years. This camper van is very nice but in that price range you can get a better RV with much more horsepower and more room. Naming it Porest (poorest) wasn't a good idea for the US market. Yeah, I know it's not poorest but I also know Westerners. The smart room is not different than slide outs on existing RV's but it's also a bit small. There isn't much room in the front of the cab and the ground clearance isn't that good either. The US is ready for a smaller camper vehicle like the old Toyota but this needs more power, more "gadgets", more room and more clearance, especially in that price range. I recently heard about this vehicle but this is the first time I've actually seen it. Thanks very much for the review. Edit: Talking about pricing it was mentioned that it tops out at over $70K, that seems a bit high for the small engine, lack of power, lack of modern safety electronic advances, electronic gadgets, etc.. It was even mentioned in the review that it didn't have powe,r didn't stop too well and rode like a truck.
Longing to see this in Canadian road. Concept is comparable to European design and price is a whooping deal at US $ 42k to US$ 72k 👍. To capture North American market, Hyundai should think about changing the cab into a more spacious and not based on porter platform of engine under your seat.

A few things i would improve. 1st Decrease the sink size a little and add a induction or gas burner to allow come cooking other then microwave. 2nd Move the 2 rear seats back a few inches. Western people are bigger and the 3rd and 4th passenger are to cramped. 3rd Add at least a rear camera for parking. Other then that, it would work. Its not fancy, Its not powerful, it does not have all the kewl toys some may be used too, but it can work. For a first try, it is great, but I think it can be improved. I do not know the options available, but adding a Generator and the gas burner would be a step in the right direction.
First time I saw it, it was the camper van that Yoongi sleeps in BTS in the soop. It's really nice camper, although some tall people will find it a bit hard to sleep in the bed at the back (like my hubby, he is 187). It's rather short but very fit for an asian like me 💜

Hyundai could make a killing in the US with these for everyone getting into #vanlife thanks to COVID. Starting at $41K is so much more affordable than domestic options here, and the fittings seem to have a good balance of features and simplicity without the corniness of American RV builds that try to mimic suburban homes on wheels and end up looking cheap.

@Asian Petrolhead - like your style (direct and simple). As for the Porest, I like the product, but I do have questions: How well does the Porest perform going up hill on FWYs? Does it have enough power? What is the mileage on the Porest?
Well, i haven't had to drive this motorhome on very steep hill, but it felt pretty okay. It's got 2.5L diesel engine, so it's not fast, but has good torque. MPG is not given from Hyundai yet.l Thanks John Roth. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

This is a great idea and has a lot of excellent features, but it sounds way too under powered for the US roads and camping terrain (2.5 l engine 130 HP). You also mention it is rear wheel drive. See how it navigates the hilly Korea terrain and what its max speed is in those areas and then revise to make it be successful in the US. It’s a great start, but in the varying altitudes and mountainous regions, loaded with personal gear and food, it’s going to be downshifted into first gear going 10 mph. We had a VW camper style bus when I was growing up. My Dad thought he was going to have to have us kids get out and walk up the mountain in Cloudcroft, NM as the bus was just so underpowered for that altitude and incline. On flat land, it topped out at 50-55mph. Make sure the engine is powerful enough and go for it! My Hyundai Santa Fe is a V-6 with 185 HP and front wheel drive. You NEED that much power as a minimum for the US. The Santa Fe is an excellent vehicle. Adapt it’s motor and transmission to this camper and change the name from Porest (which has a very negative connotation in the US) to Forest (more of a camping mindset). THEN you won’t be able to keep up with production. All the best to you on this camper/RV!
Yes, for now this Hyundai Camper is only sold here in Korea. If Hyundai wants to export this camper, then they better change the 2.5 diesel into a gasoline engine. Thank you.
hey before this rv coming to the states, consider this, add a hot plate with propaine gas or electric, camera rear mirror, bigger water tank and sewer tank
Depends on cost. If they can reasonably beat the price of US made vans, with lower gas costs, they might take over the market. The real problem would be overcoming replacement parts prices and availability. No body want s to wait 6 months to a year for repairs.
For RV my dream solution would be the new Airstream Basecamp 20X pulled by Kia Telluride. I love the design aesthetic of Airstream camper trailers. Campers with dedicated cabs are not appealing to me. It seems better to have those things be two separate things so that if you need to drive into a nearby town for supplies, leave the camper at the camp, instead of dragging the whole thing. Just my 2 cents.
I’m from Philippines design is simply nice, but Preferable 4x4 with comprehensive features as German RV like MB Serenity..with Solar as energy source, If possible electric 4x4 RV..

If there's an aftermarket racing gauge cluster to replace it that would be awesome. These two little things will prevent sight problem of washout in bright sunlight. When does it come to USA and will I be able to purchase from standard Hyundai dealerships? The Porest name would be removed or covered over immediately upon delivery.
Well, Hyundai has no plans to export this motorhome yet to N. America. But hopefully you guys will get this motorhome soon in the future. Thanks Max Chill. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
A nice first attempt at a motorhome with a good entry price. It definitely needs a more powerful engine though. The in-screen graphic for the "Porest" needs to also be updated to show the proper outline and not the outline of the "Porter."
Do you know if there will be a model of the year 2022 in South Korea of the Hyundai Porest? It seems to me a very valid option to travel around South Korea and more nearby countries like Russia. Thanks for the video and take care all of you.
The USD 41,000 is just basic model without anything, if you choose the one that could extend the length in the back of the RV, you will have to pay USD 72,000. It's end of not cheap either. Which model you were showing in the video? The 72K one?
Well, not 72K, but nearly there, our tester had everything except for the solar roof on the top. THanks Patrick. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

There are only 2 things that I don't like about what I saw in this review. The first is that there's no stove. 2 burners would be plenty, but they would make it a lot more livable. The other thing I don't like is that I haven't seen that it is indeed coming to the US. I want one, and I could afford the base model!
Yeah, burner would been very nice on this motorhome from Hyundai. Thanks Matt. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

Thank you for the review. I'm considering buying an RV for the first time. My 90 year old Korea War veteran father recently passed away and was buried with military honors 2 days ago here in America. I took care of him and my mother until be their last breathe these last five years. Right now, I just want to get in an RV with my dogs, drive somewhere to clear my head, find myself again and be free to grieve without anybody telling how especially by people who don't know what it's like to lose both parents and never been their parents caregiver who had debilitating illnesses. Its exhausting and I'm glad I was able to be there holding their hand until the very end. 🇺🇸🇰🇷 Rest in peace Mom and Dad. 🙏💞
Very sorry for your losses. My mom passed in January; I was her caretaker/only child/travel buddy roommate since her husband passed 5 years ago. A huge part of me wants to get an RV, adopt 2 dogs & wander for a while. I hope you get to get away, find peace and some happy places. Stay safe, well & blessed.
@@robgindc1 Thank you and I'm very sorry for your loss too. Learning to live without then is very challenging. I wish the you the same and may you find your dogs. Their unconditional love made my losses more bearable. Be safe and well too.

RIP. Respecting and taking care of your old loved ones. It's such a beautiful and human thing. High fives from Brazil.
Thank you all for your kind words. 🙏
Hyundai would have to build multiple plants to build this in the United States. It would be the only way they could keep up with the demand! This would absolutely Crush the RV World in the US. Can't wait for this to come.

Consider renaming this camper “Forest” for USA models. I am excited to test this RV.
It is called Forest
@@kalijuri Currently, it is named Porest. It would be nice if they called it Forest in the US since most people camp in the forest/woods.

Excellent review.. He meant it for practicality and real world.. Though he forgot to mention weight.. 😉

Very well thought out and an amazing price. It might not be big enough to hold many American egos but those that want a simple and affordable way to travel it fits the bill.

@@stevewainwright3344 which one do you suggest? German RV's?
It would be a great move to bring prices of motor homes down. Here in the states, sportsmobile, winnebago, and other makers charge a ridiculous amount for these things. 90-100k is not what I would consider a fair price.

$100,000 here for junk that will leak within the first year you buy it it's all about gouging money out of people this motorhome is beautiful look at all the amenities inside
@Drakilicious I suspect it is not intended for normal people, but rather, the wealthy families who want to occasionally cosplay as middle-class folk. I went camping last year and the ratio of tents to campers was 50%. It was pretty surprising.
Cost of labour is too high in USA
Thus the prices
I’d think the front passenger doesn’t need seat warmer during winter time since the seat is right above the engine =p during summer however.....
Yeah, i mean, but it was hot on the filming day and producer Kim was telling me the same thing. Thanks for watching our review on the 1st motorhome or camping car from Hyundai. Thanks Alek.
I agree. There's gotta be some sort of insulation Hyundai can throw in!
@@AsianPetrolhead
Perhaps Hyundai's finest engineers and designers can convert the front passenger seat into a cooking area for delicious korean foods like 삼겹살구이 especially if you are a 뚱보
I enjoyed the review. I could actually see myself buying one of these at that price point if they bring it to the US. However, they’re going to need to change that name.
Yes, Jeff Hyundai will have to come up with a new name, but i think this 1st RV, motorhome or camping car came out great. Thanks Jeff.
Changing the placement of the motor would be most important
Its so tiny outside but inside has plenty of space ,love Hyundai
As someone who is researching RV's at the moment, I think this is an amazing option for someone with kids who is interested in a Van build, it gives you all of the amenities, and actual live-able interior height, but I have some concerns:
1. For the price-point (comparing to actual motorhomes), I would have loved for the button controlling the smart room to have been on the inside of the rig, and I did not see any sort of leveling gear?
2. There is no propane storage/easy hookups
3. The cartridge for the toilet is interesting but is it reusable?
4. I would have loved to see easy solar hookup or solar prep, if this doesn't already come with a solar panel installed
5. What is the fresh water and grey water capacity on this? and how do you dump your grey water?
6. Again for the price-point, I feel like a backup camera should have been included.
7. I hope the microwave is at least a convection?
8. I did not see an outlet in the kitchen area where one could easily plug in a cooktop?
9. The bathroom seems really amazing for the space given, I would have loved to see you step into the shower, as a taller person I fear the shower needs to be taller, I also feel like that basin is unnecessary and cumbersome, also is there a fan in bathroom for ventilation, and can you sit on the toilet while the door is closed?
10. Is there storage underneath the 2 passenger seats? And what is the seatbelt situation? Can you hook up child car seats?
Although all of those issues sounded negative, I do think they are easy details to take care of, but all in all this is a very interesting concept, I actually would really consider getting this RV as I think it would be perfect for especially National Parks etc.
Husband and I are looking forward to seeing this in the United States. We really want a small camper no longer than 19 feet. On a side note that's a horrible name .
Hyundai has moved like no other automotive car maker in recent years. Carry more of that technology over to this vehicle before you ship it to the US - by adding a few hundred dollars worth of these refinements you'll find a willing market here. Hundai may want to consider the ground clearance for people who don't necessarily camp on level concrete pads and AWD. Solar capability is almost a must have in 2020. After they see how well it sells in Korea, I hope they'll consider the US market.
Those are great idea. Are you listening Hyundai? AWD and more ground clearance. Thank you for watching our review on the 1st RV, motorhome or camping car from Hyundai.
Imagine if Hyundai makes this for the us consumer direct from a dealer ... that would be amazing ( one thing would top it ... if they make an off-roading version lifted suspension, metal bull-bars , lights , wrench ect and the amenities and tech that came with their new sonata and genesis and bring some cool off-road tech exterior look to it ... it would be baller
If they do that ... I have no prob getting one and I feel it would be a hot seller for the overlanding ( off-roading ) community
Yeah i wish Hyundai will decide to export this motorhome to N. America. That would be interesting. Thanks Moflex.
A very well thought out and thorough review. At $70k, this would be a no brainer in the US; but I think we’d need need a lot more engine.

@@AsianPetrolhead Do you have shorter one? To me, the high bed in the front and the sofa bed is enough. No need the bed on the rear. But a shorter bus is easier to drive and park. Also with smaller van, the price should also be more friendly to people. Thanks!
I have mixed feelings about a camper but I’m definitely sold on this one
“Porest” for US market.....maybe change the “P” to F. This is like when Chevy made the Nova, which means “no go” in Spanish.
NOVA LOL. Yes, this motorhome definitely need a new name before exporting. Thanks.
I think it is advisable to install more positioning lights along the body, reflective panels. When traveling more safely, other vehicles are easily recognized when operating on the highway. Given the large size of the vehicle and the extended width, this is a necessity.
That is a great point. Thank you for enjoying the Hyundai camper review.

This things looks so well engineered that even with its modern aesthetic all I think it would take to dominate the western market is 4x4. So much of that internal layout is genius.

I have owned a Hyundai Starex 2.5 Premium 2012 for ten years now. It has a little over 184k km. At 5yrs just 2 weeks before the warranty ran out the service department discovered a problem with the engine and ended up replacing most of the engine.
The Starex was a great daily driver. We always had it serviced at the dealer and had no complaints. Service from staff is excellent. So we are more than willing to buy another Hyundai.
I would highly recommend Hyundai consider expanding their market to the US and selling the Porest there as a base cabover truck with an accessory detachable truck camper for part time campers and consider the same for the KIA Bongo platform.
Thanks again for the excellent review.
Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
This is almost my perfect camper. Raise it a few inches and add at least an AWD option (I don't need true 4wd but I know others will want it) and if it's sold in the USA at this same price point, I would buy it in a second. A pocket door option to close off the dedicated bedroom would also be nice, but I guess I could always add that later.
Yes, Debbie. AWD+more clearance would make this Hyundai Camper a more rugged one! Thanks.
Me and my husband are ready to buy one now but seeing this -- thinking to just have more patience until this come out in 🇺🇸 .. Hoping it'll come out in the next few months!!
If they bring this to US market it will sell very good. 40kish for a new motorhome?
That's a freaking deal.
Well, 40K for the starting price, if you load it up it will go up to $72K. Thanks for watching our 1st review of motorhome from Hyundai. Thanks Nino.

@@olguiq1013 you don't know these trucks.
Not powerful but enough to Cary heavy loads. It's a diesel.

Occasionally a person sleeping in an RV or van has to quickly move the vehicle in the middle of the night, due to noisy or harassing people. I hope that sliding room can be closed from inside of the RV, instead of standing outside to close it.

Love the bench versatility
Yes!
There are some smart designs in it, perfect wash room, A/C and front bed are great but there is no stove, no trash can, no hanging closet and in general too few wardrobes to put your stuff especially for four. I think no matter how organized you are, with for people there would be constant disorder in there. Also didn’t see any outlets! 4 people means a lot of devices to charge.
I think you should increase the length with 14-15 inches and fix these shortfalls and incorporate some additional storage below the seats in the front if possible. I don’t see the need for 6 beds in such a small camper.
In the back you should split the window and move them to the sides so that you could put an “overhead” storage instead of the back window. Of course in that case you gotta sleep with head to front which makes harder to come out of the sleeping box but it may be a good trade-off for some extra storage. With a bit smaller storage it might not even necessary to make.
Pretty important spec the water capacity and the battery type and size which we didn’t get any info of either. Make sure to mention those in the next review.
Overall the price sounds good yet the value for money ratio could and should be increased.

This RV would be a big seller in the US as this Class B sleeps 4. Most of the Class B’s only sleeps 2. One comment the control of the smart bed in the back should be located in the main cabin and not in back of the storage.

The diesel would give it decent mileage and range. European diesel emissions standards are pretty strict too. They should be able to meet the US standards. A gas version wouldn't get more than low teens, mpg.
Sure hope it comes to the US! Here RVs are famous for having atrocious (or non-existent) quality control. You buy a brand-new RV, drive it home, and the next day you find out half the things don't even work in the RV. And the dealers give exactly zero f**ks and will happily take 2 or 3 months to fix your brand new RV, because warranty work doesn't make them any money and RV lemon laws don't exist.

The Porter (in Japan ) H100 in Africa has a small cab frame, I think the H1 MPV frame would have worked better, the competition has wider cab, it seems to be riding too close to the ground on the rear, but could be higher than it looks on video. I suppose Hyundai is testing the market, I like the fact that it's a compact car ladies would love it's nimbleness. That retractable rear definitely makes it expensive, (electric) all nice inside
Yes, this is Hyundai's 1st attempt making RV, motorhome or camping car. HOpe they do make more of these.
I'm researching RVs for the outward future, like 5 years. This looks awesome. I've never seen a bed come down from the ceiling. That's inventive engineering. The price point looks excellent also.

It is a small but pretty cool low end camping car at the price of a trailer. It is amazing how much stuff Hyundai packed in that small camper. I would definitely consider that instead of buying a trailer for a casual camping journey.

I am from the U.S. and am highly impressed with this camper. I agree with Charles Mackey. The raised ground clearance would be a big issue for me, it’s a must. It looked to me as though they would only have to raise those side panels to accomplish it. I could see Solar and AWD as options but not necessary.
I absolutely loved the rear passenger chair versatility and the bed coming down from the ceiling! The extra bed in the rear was great, as well as the large fridge. Most small campers I have seen only have a very small fridge. Whether the rear bed was present or if it was changed to two twin beds perpendicularly in the lower price point, I would still buy it.
My only concern would be how well the smaller motor could pull the camper through the mountains, Rockies or Appalachians. Even the smoothest highways can get steep.
Thanks for such a great review!
I rather liked it. Especially that drop down bed feature. Very nice. Nice little wet bath inside as well. And that fridge is huge. I also like all the stainless steel around the sink.
It’s good and compact the extension feature is great , but where is the tv and the stove, I like that it has a ac unit which runs on battery , it will be good for a couple , 4 people a tad tight
Hi Prezo. Thank you for watching our Hyundai motorhome review. There's TV right left side of the entrance. But unfortunately there isn't any stove. Thank you for tuning in.
Excited about this RV! Affordable and has everything we would need! I love it!! And being Hyuandai I know it will be reliable! Thank you for sharing!
Study engine Hp gas be prepared to be in first to third gear unless you are in Kansas.
The engine reminds me of some of the old Toyota RVs from the 70-80's. Wondering if they offer solar. The layout is nice. The mirrored sink will be an issue for fingerprints, but that's life. Still like the design 😍 Perfect for one traveler or a couple. That's all I need.
This is my favorite review by far bc it's not a typical car petrol head would review.
Thanks Choo Choo for watching our 1st RV, motorhome or camping car review! It was fun!
Be prepared to be in 1st to 3rd gear low HP gas USA, no mileage review, you did a GREAT error by not driving it in moderate hilly area. Steep hills forget it. Under HP you stress drivetrain, here come the repairs, did you bring up the cooling CAPACITY of the engine? Not Very misleading review. Did you evaluate the quality of the components or give frame floor specs, or grey dark water specs. Air CON Furnace? Very poor review and misleading.
Get this RV over there in the USA it will sell very well.... I will be the first one to buy one ..I have two Kia's and Love them...I want to sell my trailer and move into a RV and this is a sensible choice and I can park it at my home ......
Yes, hope Hyundai will start shipping these Hyundai Porest soon to the N. America. Thank you Dave. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. Thank you.
Even the illustrated image on the gauge cluster is still a Porter utility truck..
You should try and test the vehicle on steep gradient climbs.
hahahah. I think i will flip this motorhome if i do try that. But thank you DM 2MW for supporting us!
That's amazing. The only think that could be improved upon is the bathroom. There's a lot of dead space in the upper half that isn't used most of the time. The whole bathroom could be enclosed and counter height unless in use, which is when an accordion-type door (like the one used) could enclose the area from the counter top to ceiling. Of course other details, like having a hose with a shower head that can be attached to the wall, would be easy to work out.
I'm a Hyundai fan. I have been driving Hyundai's since the mid 80's when I was in South Korea for a few years. This camper van is very nice but in that price range you can get a better RV with much more horsepower and more room. Naming it Porest (poorest) wasn't a good idea for the US market. Yeah, I know it's not poorest but I also know Westerners. The smart room is not different than slide outs on existing RV's but it's also a bit small. There isn't much room in the front of the cab and the ground clearance isn't that good either. The US is ready for a smaller camper vehicle like the old Toyota but this needs more power, more "gadgets", more room and more clearance, especially in that price range. I recently heard about this vehicle but this is the first time I've actually seen it. Thanks very much for the review.
Edit: Talking about pricing it was mentioned that it tops out at over $70K, that seems a bit high for the small engine, lack of power, lack of modern safety electronic advances, electronic gadgets, etc.. It was even mentioned in the review that it didn't have powe,r didn't stop too well and rode like a truck.
Longing to see this in Canadian road. Concept is comparable to European design and price is a whooping deal at US $ 42k to US$ 72k 👍. To capture North American market, Hyundai should think about changing the cab into a more spacious and not based on porter platform of engine under your seat.
Yes, Juan. This is the 1st motorhome from Hyundai. I hope Hyundai will continue making progress. Thanks. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
I like this. Affordable and perfect for two people.
Well, good for four people. Thanks saboth for watching our Hyundai motorhome review. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
I already checked if it will fit in my garage. Send it over to the Philippines. You already have at least one buyer!
Glad you like this 1st motorhome from Hyundai. Thank you Raymund. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
hello how much tax would that incur if it were to be shipped in the ph?
A few things i would improve.
1st Decrease the sink size a little and add a induction or gas burner to allow come cooking other then microwave.
2nd Move the 2 rear seats back a few inches. Western people are bigger and the 3rd and 4th passenger are to cramped.
3rd Add at least a rear camera for parking.
Other then that, it would work. Its not fancy, Its not powerful, it does not have all the kewl toys some may be used too, but it can work. For a first try, it is great, but I think it can be improved.
I do not know the options available, but adding a Generator and the gas burner would be a step in the right direction.
What are you waiting for....These are fantastic!!!! Bring them to the USA!!!!!
It is currently available in USA saw 1 at my local dealership
First time I saw it, it was the camper van that Yoongi sleeps in BTS in the soop. It's really nice camper, although some tall people will find it a bit hard to sleep in the bed at the back (like my hubby, he is 187). It's rather short but very fit for an asian like me 💜
I am 187cm, too. but in the middle on the rear bed i am okay, but on the side is a bit short. Thank you for watching our Hyundai Porest review, the 1st motorhome from Hyundai. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Hyundai could make a killing in the US with these for everyone getting into #vanlife thanks to COVID. Starting at $41K is so much more affordable than domestic options here, and the fittings seem to have a good balance of features and simplicity without the corniness of American RV builds that try to mimic suburban homes on wheels and end up looking cheap.
For now Hyundai has no plans to export this motorhome to anywhere else. But i really hope Hyundai will change their mind. Thank you bucoybrown. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
@Asian Petrolhead - like your style (direct and simple). As for the Porest, I like the product, but I do have questions: How well does the Porest perform going up hill on FWYs? Does it have enough power? What is the mileage on the Porest?
Well, i haven't had to drive this motorhome on very steep hill, but it felt pretty okay. It's got 2.5L diesel engine, so it's not fast, but has good torque. MPG is not given from Hyundai yet.l Thanks John Roth. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
No worries with the name, I'll just add the name Gump at the end "Porest Gump "Lol. This is a very economical and reliable cool RV with a huge sleeping area. When is it going to be available in the US?
Very good review, much better than the last one, I think that outdoor storage unit next to the outdoor shower is also known as the Mother-in-Law suite......Thanks again for the review the Porest looks cool.
Yes, hope you guys get this Hyundai Camper soon in N. America.
The first. View of your newest. RV model. Looks promising for us. Eager to see it in a camping demonstration.
Yes, Steve. This is the 1st camping car from Hyundai and looks promising. Thank you for tuning in. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
This is a great idea and has a lot of excellent features, but it sounds way too under powered for the US roads and camping terrain (2.5 l engine 130 HP). You also mention it is rear wheel drive. See how it navigates the hilly Korea terrain and what its max speed is in those areas and then revise to make it be successful in the US. It’s a great start, but in the varying altitudes and mountainous regions, loaded with personal gear and food, it’s going to be downshifted into first gear going 10 mph.
We had a VW camper style bus when I was growing up. My Dad thought he was going to have to have us kids get out and walk up the mountain in Cloudcroft, NM as the bus was just so underpowered for that altitude and incline. On flat land, it topped out at 50-55mph. Make sure the engine is powerful enough and go for it!
My Hyundai Santa Fe is a V-6 with 185 HP and front wheel drive. You NEED that much power as a minimum for the US. The Santa Fe is an excellent vehicle. Adapt it’s motor and transmission to this camper and change the name from Porest (which has a very negative connotation in the US) to Forest (more of a camping mindset). THEN you won’t be able to keep up with production. All the best to you on this camper/RV!
Yes, for now this Hyundai Camper is only sold here in Korea. If Hyundai wants to export this camper, then they better change the 2.5 diesel into a gasoline engine. Thank you.
hey before this rv coming to the states, consider this, add a hot plate with propaine gas or electric, camera rear mirror, bigger water tank and sewer tank
Depends on cost. If they can reasonably beat the price of US made vans, with lower gas costs, they might take over the market. The real problem would be overcoming replacement parts prices and availability. No body want s to wait 6 months to a year for repairs.
For RV my dream solution would be the new Airstream Basecamp 20X pulled by Kia Telluride. I love the design aesthetic of Airstream camper trailers. Campers with dedicated cabs are not appealing to me. It seems better to have those things be two separate things so that if you need to drive into a nearby town for supplies, leave the camper at the camp, instead of dragging the whole thing. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah, that sounds Awesome Michael. Thank you for watching our 1st RV, motorhome or camping car review. Thanks.
I’m from Philippines design is simply nice, but Preferable 4x4 with comprehensive features as German RV like MB Serenity..with Solar as energy source, If possible electric 4x4 RV..
Glad you like this Hyundai Porest, the 1st motorhome from Hyundai. Yes wish Hyundai will also add 4x4 capability in the future. Thank you KGAP. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
The third bed will be popular with the kids.
Yeah, it think it will be popular with adults, too. Thanks Tuomas for watching our motorhome review. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Sounds like it's the spiritual successor to the VW camper. Loud and not very comfortable, but cheap to buy. and highly functional. They should bring it to America with the diesel.
No plans yet, but hopefully Hyundai will decide to bring this motorhome to N. America soon. Thanks CarluvrSD. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
My Dream RV to travel the whole Australia NZ Tasmania with a Luxury home to sleep while travelling from different states as well ❤❤❤❤❤love everything about it..
That's the 1st slide-out on an RV that I like. The numbers on the instrument cluster look easy enough to read but I would still prefer white faces with black numbers and the LCD screen is too small. If there's an aftermarket racing gauge cluster to replace it that would be awesome. These two little things will prevent sight problem of washout in bright sunlight. When does it come to USA and will I be able to purchase from standard Hyundai dealerships? The Porest name would be removed or covered over immediately upon delivery.
Well, Hyundai has no plans to export this motorhome yet to N. America. But hopefully you guys will get this motorhome soon in the future. Thanks Max Chill. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
A nice first attempt at a motorhome with a good entry price. It definitely needs a more powerful engine though. The in-screen graphic for the "Porest" needs to also be updated to show the proper outline and not the outline of the "Porter."
Do you know if there will be a model of the year 2022 in South Korea of the Hyundai Porest? It seems to me a very valid option to travel around South Korea and more nearby countries like Russia. Thanks for the video and take care all of you.
Yes, i think Hyundai will make it even for 2022. Thank you for enjoying the Hyundai camper review.
The USD 41,000 is just basic model without anything, if you choose the one that could extend the length in the back of the RV, you will have to pay USD 72,000. It's end of not cheap either. Which model you were showing in the video? The 72K one?
Well, not 72K, but nearly there, our tester had everything except for the solar roof on the top. THanks Patrick. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
When will this be in the USA?? Probably not soon enough!! Very smartly designed.
Yes, just for Korean market for now. Hope you guys get the Hyundai Porest soon in N. America, with new name!
What is the point of a rear view mirror when the view is completely blocked? They could have easily install a rear view camera instead of a mirror.
Yes, you're right about that. So we had rear view mirror that (electric) showed images from the back camera. That was quite helpful. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
A back-up camera is a MUST! I'm spoiled by certain features in my Santa Fe.
Yes, back up camera would be great in this Hyundai Porest. Thank you Squigglove. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. Thank you.
There are only 2 things that I don't like about what I saw in this review. The first is that there's no stove. 2 burners would be plenty, but they would make it a lot more livable. The other thing I don't like is that I haven't seen that it is indeed coming to the US. I want one, and I could afford the base model!
Yeah, burner would been very nice on this motorhome from Hyundai. Thanks Matt. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Missing some important stuff for campers:
Size of white water tanks, grey water tank and black water tank.
@Jesus Is SATAN Most RV reviews do.
@Jesus Is SATAN I would say all reviews from RV Living, almost all American Class A till Class C reviews. And not even one German review is missing such important detail! The most are also describing the mileage per gallon.
@Jesus Is SATAN MattsRVReviews
@Jesus Is SATAN Matt's RV reviews.
Perfect for couple for staying in within their budget 👍wish to have one for my self to travelling around
Yes, i hope Hyundai will export this RV, motorhome or camping car to N. America. Thanks T L H H. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing to our channel. Thank you.
A must have is a diesel or lp gas generator. Boondock camping in remote areas with generator or solar panels to power the coach. Slainte' ! Cheers !
Love it. I love the versatility. I love that i can take my grandkids with the flip of a seat and cushions.
