  The Hyundai Galloper began life in 1991, when Hyundai Precision Products acquired a license to build a vehicle based on Mitsubishi's first generation Pajero platform. This vehicle, sold by Hyundai as the Galloper, and also by Dodge as the Raider, is a compact sport utility vehicle that enjoyed its success primarily in Japan and Europe. The original Galloper run ended in 2003, with the introduction of the Galloper II.
