For a little under $50k you can get yourself into one of the best people movers around. Hyundai are at the top of their game, so expect good things from the new 2018 Hyundai iMax. Hyundai’s big people mover has been completely redesigned and is looking nice and strong with powerful styling at the front and a long, high roof that houses a cavernous space for people and luggage. Hyundai’s latest big van is perfect for people moving duties.
A bolder front end now has a more prominent nose than before which houses stockier headlights and a deep chrome grille. The grille drops into the bumper zone and connects closely with where the front air dam is situated for a stylish, smart design. Rounded outer edges and a soft raking windshield make the big van as smooth and aerodynamic as possible. You climb up into the driver’s seat and the expansive view out the front is superb.
A huge sliding door at the side makes it so easy for extra passengers to climb up and into the three rows of seating. Clever seat design ensures that access to the back row is straight forward. Seats are multifunctional and can be adjusted into various shapes and sizes according to the number of people and cargo being carried. All eight seats in a new Hyundai iMax are superbly roomy and comfortable – just perfect for the long haul. At the rear of the big van is a clean set of tail lights and a large door which lifts high-up and out of the way for easy access for loading luggage items.
On board the 2018 iMax, and where do I start? There are numerous modern features and new technology which keep the iMax cutting edge and a leader in its class. Even rear seat occupants get separate air conditioning air vents and controls in second and third rows. Rear seat passengers also get to enjoy loads of personal space. Isofix anchor points, cup holders, bottle holders, and head restraints with vertical adjustment are ways to enhance an occupant’s journey, and depending on which model you choose there are options like a big glass roof and sun blind, and even a luxury leather interior trim to impress.
You’ll be glad to note that driving the brand new iMax is easier than the big van dimensions might suggest. The new Hyundai iMax comes with the latest high definition touch display screen which, when reverse gear is selected, the rear view camera displays what’s behind the van. The 7-inch touchscreen comes equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Steering wheel mounted controls make life easy for the driver when it comes to selecting various functions like audio adjustments, Bluetooth communications and cruise control.
Two new Hyundai iMax models are available; the Elite being the model with all the kit, and the Active being the well-equipped model with a few less necessary items missing. Opt for the Elite and features like heated front seats, a temperature controlled glovebox, an electro-chromatic mirror, two glass sunroofs with slide and tilt functions, and premium leather seats being some of the key differences between models.
What powers the 2018 Hyundai iMax is a very strong 2.5 CRDi turbo-diesel motor. As a beast of burden the iMax offers 125 kW at 3600 rpm and a maximum of 441 Nm of torque between 2000-and-2250 rpm. This level of power ensures the new iMax makes short work of any task you care to throw at it. The 5-speed automatic with sequential manual mode is easy to use and smooth. Well under 10 litres/100 km can be achieved on a regular basis, and you can even tow up to 1500 kg as well.
Both the Active and Elite iMax come with all the same superb safety features. It’s a van that feels totally secure and safe on the road, offering a nice ride and plenty of stability.
