Hyundai Motor Company Australia has updated the iLoad van and iMax
eight-seat people-mover ranges with more fuel efficient diesel engines, and a new six-speed manual transmission.
Whether its moving people or pallets, these frugal new powertrain combinations further enhance Hyundai’s versatile,
practical and stylish iLoad and iMax model line-ups.
Performance
The iLoad and iMax range of vehicles is now available with a more fuel efficient 2.5-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine
matched to a new six-speed manual transmission. In the iLoad this delivers 8 L/100 km, a 6% reduction in fuel
consumption; while the uprated 2.5-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine and five-speed automatic transmission combination
achieve 8.8 L/100 km, an 8% improvement, taking a real load off business operators diesel fuel bills.
When fitted with the 2.5-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine matched to the new six-speed manual transmission, the iMax
achieves 8.1 L/100km, a 5% more fuel efficient operation; while the uprated 2.5-litre CRDi turbo diesel engine and
five-speed automatic transmission combination improves to 9 L/100 km, an 8% reduction in fuel consumption.
When matched to the six-speed manual transmission, the diesel engine's peak torque of 343 Nm now starts earlier in
the rev range from 1,500 rpm through to 2,500 rpm, ensuring greater usability around town and has a standard Waste Gate
Turbo (WGT). Peak power is 100 kW @ 3,800 rpm. Matched to the five-speed automatic transmission, the diesel engine’s
peak torque has increased to 441 Nm @ 2,000 to 2,250 rpm and has a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT). Peak power is 125 kW @
3,600 rpm.

Shift into Gear
The new six-speed manual gearbox utilises multi-cone synchronisers for improved shift quality, and includes a
button-operated reverse gear lock-out to provide further ease of operation. The short stroke of the transmission
ensures a quick and accurate shift action to further enhance the economy of the driveline.
Comfort and Convenience
Offering business a myriad of load carrying possibilities, the iLoad can handle up to two pallets with ease within its
4.3 cubic metre capacity, while offering seating for three – or up to six in crew van configuration. The intelligent
design of the iLoad is demonstrated by offering standard twin sliding doors to reduce reach for easy load and unload, and
a large lift tailgate to provide a sheltered workspace. Twin-swing (barn) doors are available as a factory option on
selected models, with removable hinge pins that allow the twin-swing doors to open to 180 degrees, offering plenty of
room for a forklift to gain access.
For moving people plus their lifestyle accessories and luggage, iMax is among the class leaders. With flexible
eight-seat capacity, plus plenty of stowage space behind the third row and a well thought-out, comfortable and
well-appointed interior including dual-zone air conditioning, to ensure occupants travel in space and comfort.
Packed with conveniences, the iLoad, and iMax ranges offer Bluetooth™ connectivity providing safe hands-free telephone
use and audio streaming with any compatible device. Full iPod® integration (via the USB port) allows customers to connect
using their original iPod cables, conveniently making operation possible via the head unit or steering wheel. Functional
and well-designed interiors focus on driver comfort including air-conditioning, power windows and mirrors, indoor storage
compartments, cup holders and twin glove box to provide enhanced convenience and improved functionality.
Hyundai Genuine Accessories are also available for both iLoad and iMax including a comprehensive range of roof racks
(including a full technician kit for iLoad) plus lifestyle accessories to further meet individual business and owner
needs. A handy built-in technician step with grab handles is also available as a Hyundai Genuine Accessory for the iLoad
range, increasing both protection and accessibility.
Petrol models remain unchanged.
