First shown as a 2005 'concept' in Chicago, Hyundai is hoping their R-Class-like crossover will fill all the niches where Mercedes and Chrysler’s Pacifica failed.

Flexible seating for the Portico means two rows of seating with seating for 4 or 6 – depending if the center seat is folded down or upright. With six passengers in two rows - the Portico will offer more cargo area than similarly sized vehicles.

The Portico is expected to be offered with a V6, as well as with a hybrid powertrain, and will be built in Alabama.
