Having said that Mitsubishi Canter's Russian brother, this time its Korean relatives came again, and it is estimated that the original factory has fainted in the toilet. To say that this car also has relatives in China, that is, the Shengtu light truck of modern commercial vehicles. The car I want to talk about today is the 2008 e-Mighty light truck, which is also the model with the biggest difference from the Japanese series in terms of styling.
Mighty is hyundai's light commercial vehicle series in South Korea, with four newer generations from the first generation of models introduced in 1987 to the present. The second generation is the Mighty II introduced in 1998, and the car introduced today belongs to the third generation e-Mighty introduced in 2004, while the latest model is the all-new Tomorrowy launched in 2015.
The second generation of modern Mighty light trucks
To say that the exterior design of this car has gone through three stages, its first generation of models is completely designed by Mitsubishi Fuso, and the shape refers to the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter. The second generation was designed by Hyundai and Mitsubishi Fuso together, so the first two generations were similar in appearance to Mitsubishi. Perhaps it was the economic crisis of 1997 that spurred Korean designers, and the third-generation model looked a little sharper, similar to the Kia Bongo introduced earlier.
Modern commercial vehicle Mighty light truck
The latest fourth-generation model has returned to the Japanese style, which still looks more interesting. This car is no stranger to everyone, it is the Shengtu light truck launched by modern commercial vehicles. The rearview mirrors of the large U-shaped swing arms on both sides have a wide field of view, and the front headlights are bright.
Speaking of today's 2008 e-Mighty model, the rounded shape is so good that I want to hammer it. Above the roof is the compartment's chiller, which is a closed refrigerated transporter. The inclination front features a single windshield and two large swing arm wipers underneath for a larger cleaning area. The same front mirrors as kia Bongo are on both sides of the front, and I personally find this design more convenient to observe.
The upper right corner of the shield-type front face is the "HYUNDAI" hyundai logo, the lower middle of the shield is a horizontal air intake grille, and the middle of the grille is the "H" type modern logo. The headlights on both sides are similar in shape to kia Bongo, but the car's headlights are partially obscured at the bottom, and the turn signals are erectly mounted in the corners. The lower square bumper design is also the same as kia Bongo, with the middle of the embedded fog lamp hollowed out on both sides. I guess the two cars are masterpieces of the same group of designers, and kia and Hyundai can be said to be family.
Right side of the car body
The front of the rearview mirror has a large swing amplitude for easy observation, the window is diamond-shaped slightly downward to reduce the blind spot, and there is a sealed side window on the rear side of the door. These designs have only one purpose is to increase the field of view and reduce blind spots, and the details are very well designed. There is a side door on the right side of the refrigerated compartment to facilitate the adjustment of goods.
Left side of the car body
Unlike kia Bongo, the boarding pedal is not protected inside the door, but the pedal is non-slip and hollowed out. There are width indicator lights on the side of the doors, and there is a concave deflector in the middle. On the right side of the frame is the air filter system and battery pack, and on the left side is the conventional elephant trunk fuel tank.
Main car door
Opening the door from the left, the car's red and black seats are eye-catching. The inside of the door has a boarding armrest, matching power windows, and a key lock on the main driving side. The two-spoke flying wing steering wheel is standard in modern cars, with a joystick underneath. The front dashboard is embedded inside the wrap-around center console, with the multi-function area on the right side of the dashboard.
Two large and two small instruments
Designed with rounded multi-purpose areas
The adjustable seats in the cab are above the front wheels, the co-pilot has storage compartments in front, and the seat layout is 1+2 but the legroom is not very spacious. Turning the cab forward to see the powertrain, the car is equipped with a modern 3933cc diesel engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a 5-speed manual transmission.

Rear twins
The traditional side-beam frame is paired with the new X-beams, with multi-leaf spring suspension at the front and rear, and spare tires under the rear of the frame.
The rear of the carriage is convenient for loading on the car door, and the bumper with safety markings on the bottom is very obvious. The vehicle measures 6490mm in length, 2030mm in width and 2980mm in height. The car now belongs to the HD series, including HD65, HD72, HD78.
