    Hyundai iMax Australia

    Hyundai iMax Australia

    FROM
    $41,030

    Hyundai's eight-seat people mover has been a big hit down under against dedicated vans like Kia's Carnival and the Honda Odyssey, despite the move towards SUVs.

    It's been a remarkable success, too, to the point where the Australian subsidiary is virtually begging its parent company to build more to fulfill demand. First launched in 2008 and facelifted twice in the interim, the iMax come with a 2.4-litre petrol auto, as well as a 100kW diesel manual and 125kW diesel auto. It also offers thorax airbags and multimedia touchscreens as standard kit. Current prices range from $41,030 for the Imax Active to $53,130 for the Imax Elite.

    Shown above are seat details for the Hyundai Imax 2019.

    Hyundai Imax Interior

    The Hyundai iMax's large front doors open wide for easy interior entry and exit and with no console between the front seats, the driver and front passenger can literally walk through to the passenger area. Sliding doors on each side allow generous access to the second and third row seating. As shown in our road test review images, these bench seats provide ample head room and adequate shoulder and legroom for medium-sized adults, even with three across the back row. Leather accented seat trim is standard on the top-spec Elite model, and there’s also ample ventilation, not just up front in the dashboard, with roof and floor-mounted air vents for the second and third rows linked to a separate control panel which allows passengers to adjust the fan speed and air-con temperature independent of the driver.

    The turning circle in the iMax is actually smaller than a lot of mid to large SUVs.

    Hyundai Imax FAQs

    What is the best van for a camper conversion for less than $15000?

    The Hyundai iLoad/iMax is a great buy for what you intend to use it for, as they're big, robust and roomy boxes on wheels. Not especially quiet, refined or car-like, but well suited to a camper conversion.

    However, you must ensure that the example you are looking at has a full and regular service record. This is because the well-known diesel engine and turbo failures are connected with lapsed servicing. It seems oil sludge builds up, thus starving the engine and turbo of sufficient lubrication.

    But here's the tricky bit. Hyundai recommended that all scheduled servicing was carried out every 15,000km, when actually 10,000km maximum was closer to the truth for vans that were driven regularly or had a hard life. Which is most of them.

    So, you need to buy on condition as well as service history, to ensure you get the promised long-life out of the iLoad/iMax. If that's the case, you can expect to hit 300,000km without any major issues. Just get that oil changed regularly!

    What are the best 7-seat SUV's?

    A better option for someone with a tribe to transport would be a peoplemover, such as the Kia Carnival, Hyundai iMax, or VW Transporter. They’re made for that purpose and much more practical than an SUV.

    Which big family cars do you recommend?

    I don’t believe there’s an SUV that would meet your needs. The best and most sensible solution would be a peoplemover, like a Toyota Tarago, Hyundai iMax, VW Transporter.
