FactThe restyled Galloper II looked like it was chasing the all-new second-generation Mitsubishi Pajero — but underneath, it was mechanically almost unchanged from the first Galloper.
The Galloper II was released in 1997 with composite replaceable-bulb headlights and, on many models, extra side cladding to emphasise its rugged nature; mechanically it was similar to the preceding generation, with updated styling that made it resemble the second-generation Pajero. By 1999 Hyundai had produced more than 300,000 Gallopers, and on 31 July 1999 the plant and production line were transferred from Hyundai Precision to Hyundai Motor Company (renamed Hyundai Motors Ulsan Factory #5). It was discontinued in January 2004 after a 13-year run, succeeded by the Terracan; a Galloper-based EV restomod announced in November 2021 as the third of Hyundai's "Heritage Series" was likely cancelled. The page gives the same engine list for the whole Galloper (3.0 L G6AT V6 petrol and 2.5 L D4BH diesel), so these trims carry it without per-engine years.
