The i800 is a new minivan model with bodywork, rear wheel drive and eight seats, with which replaces Hyundai H-1. It is on sale for 28.900 €, with a diesel engine of 170 hp and a closed equipment, including stability control but can not add any options (sheet of equipment). Yes it may take some accessory dealer.

Hyundai believes that the i800 is an alternative to the alternatives for passengers on some types of industry such as the Opel Vivaro, Renault Traffic and Volkswagen Transporter. However, we km77.com interior functionality that can also compete with some minivans.

Thus, when compared to others among the minivan more than 4.8 m, notable for being the only model that has eight seats. A SsangYong Rodius is less expensive, while a Chrysler Grand Voyager is much more expensive. Regarding the Rodius, the i800 provides an extra place and better access to rear seats (thanks to having sliding side doors), but has a less colorful interior and a poorer relationship between price and equipment.

The i800 has two sliding side doors and tailgate. Its exterior dimensions are larger than those of H-1, to be replaced. It measures 5,12 m length, 1.90 m wide and 1.92 m high. The battle (wheelbase) is very long (3.20 m). A Rodius has a size similar to the i800, but his height and his battle are lower.

Inside.

It is a very spacious people carrier in all interior dimensions, occupants can travel comfortably with different features. The finish quality is normal, no major flaws and gives a sense of robustness.

Inside, it has eight seats and three rows of seats (2 +3 +3 configuration). The driving position is normal in a vehicle of this kind, since it has a seat placed in a high position relative to the ground which gives a high visibility.

In the second row is a bench of three seats, which is divided into two sections with ratios 1 / 3 and 2 / 3. Each of the two sections has a longitudinal adjustment of 10 cm and tilt adjustable backrest. The seat can be brought forward to graze in the front seat, thereby facilitating access to the third row of seats.

The third-row bench is also starting, but has no longitudinal displacement. You can only tilt adjustable backrest and fold it on the sidewalk, thus extending the boot capacity. The seats in the back two rows are comfortable and have some ground clearance, so we should not bow legs to get seated.

Highlights on other similar models (comparative), by the great legroom available to the occupants of the second row (still carrying the front seat). The width and height is also very good in this row, so it is advisable to carry three adults (including senior or stout) in this row.

In the third row, there is slightly less wide and less headroom than in the second row. Furthermore, the seat is slightly less wide. If the seat of the second row is delayed, the legroom is quite enough for occupants who are not children.

There are enough holes to let objects scattered around the interior: two glove compartments, a compartment on the center console, sunglass holder, pockets in the doors and several coasters. It also has interesting small as vents with separate controls, reading lights and moons openable to occupants in the rear. The trunk is wide, measured according to SAE 851 l (ie, 10 liters more than the Rodius, which is also measured by this standard). Hyundai has not given the volume of luggage space VDA standard, which is the reference standard we use in km77.com

Driving.

The i800 is a more maneuverable than a minivan Rodius as it revolves less space (very little bearing in mind its long wheelbase). It also has an address that is smooth at low speed, although it seems somewhat sensitive at high speed, because small movements on the steering have much immediate effect on the trajectory.

The suspension has a soft setting that makes it comfortable, but which allows large movements of the body, although less than a Rodius.

The diesel engine is the same bearing the KIA Sorento. It is a four cylinder 2.5 liter engine capacity, with direct injection and turbocharger through common variable. A maximum power of 170 hp at 3,800 rpm and has a maximum torque of 392 Nm at 2000 rpm.

Is joined to a five-speed manual gearbox, which is near the steering wheel and has a precise drive. Later, also available with a five-speed automatic gearbox.

With this engine, the i800 can reach 180 km / h top speed and consumes 8.5 liters per 100 km in combined cycle. It is a moderate consumption, taking into account the size and weight (over 2,300 kg) of this model.

The 170 hp engine is enough to move the i800 with agility, at least when driving with low weight. Points for having a large force from a system very low (just 1,400 laps); also lap up gently and with some force to above the maximum power speed.

Developments of the change is short, so it has a top speed above the maximum power speed. This helps you have a good resilience and overtaking. However, missing a sixth gear, to bring the engine to a more relaxing, promoting a sound and a lower consumption.

The mechanical sound you hear inside is low, when running the engine at a moderate rate. If we are accelerating or bringing the engine at high speeds, the noise is significant. Also, if you drive at high speed, wind noise is quite intense.

Equipment.
The i800 is varied equipment, but is weaker. Standard has front airbags, stability control, dual air conditioning control, rear parking distance, trip computer, audio system with CD player (compatible with MP3 discs) and auxiliary connection, theft alarm and alloy wheels of 16 .

No option, so that the fitting is missing important elements. You can not have front side airbags or head, automatic climate control, developer of speed, automation for lights and wipers and electrically folding mirrors, among other things.

As a dealer accessory elements can be mounted as a touch screen navigation.

The front suspension is independent McPherson struts with coil springs. Behind them, wearing a rigid axle with coil springs and stabilizer bar.

The i800 there is a commercial version, called "H-1 Van ', which can be chosen with one or two rows of seats (three seats in each row of seats) and a large cargo space. Later, this variant may also be purchased with a diesel engine of 136 hp. Commercial versions are springs instead of coil springs.
