Hyundai iLoad (2009 – 2015) Review

Hyundai iLoad (2009 – 2015) At A Glance

3/5

+Great value for money with generous standard specification, twin sliding doors, option of lift up tailgate or two rear doors at the back, crew van version available, ESP as standard.

-Glazed rear doors rather than solid metal, only one length and roof height, no Euro6 engines.

The Hyundai iLoad is the panel van version of the i800 people carrier from the Korean firm. It’s a direct competitor for other medium-sized vans, though Hyundai limits its market by only offering the iLoad in one size, so there’s no variation in wheelbase, body style or roof height, although a crew van version is offered.

This doesn’t unduly concern Hyundai, who instead focus on value for money with the iLoad. From its launch in 2009, it has come with a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty and it’s one of the very few vans on sale not to have been recalled for any fix, so far, which underlines its inherent reliability.

Hyundai also packs the iLoad with plenty of kit, both luxury and safety related. There is standard air conditioning, CD stereo with auxiliary input, electric windows and central locking. Safety is covered by driver and passenger airbags, ABS anti-lock brakes and optional ESP traction and stability control.

Keen pricing tops off the Hyundai’s list of temptations, which makes it a sound choice for those who are in this market. It’s just a shame Hyundai has not expanded the range further to appeal to more buyers.

Ask Honest John

Would you recommend buying a Hyundai iLoad?

"Would you recommend buying a Hyundai iLoad? "
The Hyundai iLoad was a good van in its day, but most on the used market are old and tired now, which is reflected in its patchy MoT pass rates: https://vans.honestjohn.co.uk/mot/hyundai/iload That said, they were decent to drive and great value. The iLoad was also sold with Hyundai’s five-year 100,000 mile warranty and I’d be tempted if I found a 2013 model, with a full history, modest mileage and warranty.

What's the fuel economy of a diesel Hyundai iLoad with a light load?

Usually, you can check Real MPG to see a van’s real world fuel economy: http://vans.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ However, we haven’t actually received any ratings for the iLoad, but we do have entries for the i800 – which is the car version with windows and seats – and that averages in the high 20s. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/hyundai/i800-2008
