Is Hyundai making a play for the commercial van market in North America? Automotive News seems to think so.
These spyshots (from AutoGuide.com) show Hyundai testing a new large commercial van somewhere in Europe, whereas AN caught it testing in California. Either way, it’s clear that Hyundai wants in on the action that the Sprinter, Ram ProMaster and Ford Transit are eagerly targeting.

- Varezhka Maybe the volume was not big enough to really matter anyways, but losing a “passenger car” for a mostly “light truck” line-up should help Subaru with their CAFE numbers too.
- Varezhka For this category my car of choice would be the CX-50. But between the two cars listed I’d select the RAV4 over CR-V. I’ve always preferred NA over small turbos and for hybrids THS’ longer history shows in its refinement.
- AZFelix I would suggest a variation on the 'fcuk, marry, kill' game using 'track, buy, lease' with three similar automotive selections.
- Formula m For the gas versions I like the Honda CRV. Haven’t driven the hybrids yet.
- SCE to AUX All that lift makes for an easy rollover of your $70k truck.

It's utterly charming that they decided this box needed camo.
This is what I've just read about this new Hyundai: -Developed in cooperation with German partners. -GVW 7,700 to 11,000 lbs. -Introduction at the IAA Hannover in Germany. -Production in Turkey. Given its size and GVW I guess it will have a circa 3.0 liter diesel, just like its competitors. It's much bigger than a Ram ProMaster~Fiat Ducato by the way, it's more an Iveco Daily, the Ram's~Fiat's bigger brother.
