Excellent Petrol Van – Bought this 2.4 manual petrol van new in September 2009 and still have to this day. I change oil and filter every 7,500km myself and get it serviced every 15,000Km. Has just done 205,000Km and still going strong. I have had no issues or problems but it is starting to show its age now being 11yrs old. Show details

Great delivery vehicle (long distance) Great Tourer! – Fantastic van 2008 TQ 2.5 auto diesel. Bought it used from a dealer with 60 000kms. Now that I've driven over 210 000kms without a glitch, I think I'm now qualified to write an accurate review. Upon purchase, I had all fluids ie. engine, transmission, radiator, rear diff, etc drained and ref-filled with the correct fluid. $1200 well spent. This… Read more
vehicle earns me a good living but.... as I drive long distances each week (2000-2500kms), there are a few things I've done to make it a lot safer to drive. a) fitted a rear sway bar (made in NSW and fitted to every police Hyundai iload van). I had it fitted locally in Brisbane. Scary without one, believe me! A rear sway bar should have been factory fitted. Naughty Hyundai for being cheap! b) Fitted Super Springs (leaf) to rear. This handles heavy pallets and auto adjusts to the load so it is safer around bends at 100kph. Oil changes: every 10 000kms city driving; 13 000kms for mainly highway driving. Using only Full Synthetic oil: 5W-30 winter; 5W-40 Summer. Fitted in-line Fuel Pre-filter (Mann-Hummell). Fitted ProVent 200 Catch Can. Runs like new! I regularly have my mechanic clean out the "oil pickup screen" This ensures the turbo is fed cooling oil. Oil starvation killls turbo bearings (heat). Recommend changing the fuel injector copper seals with an oil change (every 130 000- 160 000kms) otherwise will seals will eventually corrode...causing black death of engine. Well worth doing. Best front brake combo: DBA rotors with Bendix Ultimate Pads - no vibration = zero squeak, no warping of rotors either. Am doing the rear brakes with same combination for safety. Awesome stopping power (for roos). Would buy another iLoad in a heartbeat. A great touring vehicle with plenty of room for front seat passengers.
Midweight delivery van with highway legs. Diesel/6 spd 2.5L turbo diesel manual. 3SL⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Had the van for a couple of months but spent the first month configuring it for work. Tint, tow bar, underlay, ply, carpet, tread plate, dvd player, fridge, pda cradles, chargers for ancilliary devices, printers etc. Finally got there. First thoughts. A bir scary on tight turns. Had a highly modified Mitsi 2.4L fuel injected express before this… Read more · 2
with Pedders suspension and nolathane on everything. Nearly rolled the Hyundai on the first turn! Realising it's a bit more top heavy and can't out corner 323's I settled into the groove and started driving it like a Moto Guzzi. Gentleman's Cruiser. On the open road it kills my old Mitsi. Hard to say but true. Used to get 9L/100 in the Express Van on courier cycle but that would rapidly drop on highway cycle to 11L/100 or less depending on how fast you went. Highway running is what this 6 spd manual was built for. 1,800rpm @ 100 kmh. Upshift every time you hit 2K. It's like driving a truck in that regard. Keep the revs between 1,500 & 2K. 875 klms on 66 litres. First service due next week @ 3,000 klms but after that it'll be going to my local mechanic who is licenced to do that sort of thing but it will certainly be less than the 10,000 klm service interval that Hyundai are touting. Probably why all there first generation turbo disels seized turbos. Parking is a little.more difficult than the Express van. However the reversing camera is great. 170° vision out performs the security camera I had on my old van...until it comes to reversing at night. 100' night vision is hard to beat in the dark. My old van with a 100' night vision camera and 7" reversing mirror kills this when it's dark or you are reversing i to dark places. Things I like. You dont get GPS with the radio. That means you don't have to go back to dealers and pay $200 for upgrades to maps that are the same version as the one you had. Could've done with blind spot monitoring. I don't have the side windows yet so blind spot monitor would've been a plus. Other minor gripe is rear suspension. Overall ride is tight and corners suprisingly flat considering it's weight. However rear end cluncks a bit coming off elevations. Sounds like a trip to Pedders is on the cards. Otherwise very capable highway cruiser. With underlay; 9mm ply & carpet in the rear it's absolutely silent on the open road. Heater & aircon work better than the express van. Sound system is good. You would add an equalizer/amp for above avg volume but AV inlet for dvd player is a plus. Door speakers are ~6" so bass response is there but not outstanding. Blutoothconnection works seamlessly. Had my reservations about the seating being just a huge block of foam but can't fault it. Going to fit seat covers over the waterproof canvas covers I had fitted as the canvas gets hot quick. Gearshift is light. Use the clutch for 1st and second. Steering is light. Lacks feel on progressive turns but otherwise good. Does not require "add blue". That's a +. Does not have particulate matter after burn. Another +. Overall, lovin' this low revvin' diesel that just loafs along @ highway speeds. Got the towbar fitted but haven't done a road trip with trailer yet. I wouldn't be suprised that the relatively high resale vale of these vans is on account of their appeal as hippie campers. They are the highway version of a slipstreamed Mitsi Express Van with taller gearing, more torque, more seating, better aircon & heating and an integrated information console with reversing cam but without the gimmicks. If you are young enough to embrace the age of technology and use your mobile phone for navigation but old enough to remember the fuel economy and cost savings of driving a manual that can go a 1,000,000 klms without a service, this is the base camper platform for you. Entry level option in my opinion is a butane gas burner, a mattress and an esky. Room for a couple of mountain bikes/kayaks in the back and that's without a trailer! One thing you can do without is the supplied car jack. It's one of those screw types I stopped using when I was 18 when the car it was supporting started to slowly lower itself...with me under it! Thrown them away and never used one since. $50 @ Repco later and replaced the standard lifting apparatus with a small hydraulic garage jack. Threw my folding wheel brace in there for good measure as I haven't found the supplied one yet and I don't want to be disappointed when changing a wheel at night in the rain. Unfortunatelt the garage jack doesn't fit in the side footwells like it did in my Express vans. Hyundai have plastic liners in there which is great for maintenance but means you can store less stuff in them. Still, a 1" angle bar from Bunnings painted and screwed in the side footwells will hold all your smaller travel items: folding wheel brace, hydraulic fluid, brake pads, plug in spotlight etc. The jack I put in an ozzie post tub behind passengers seat. Only place it would fit.
Peace of junk – had my 2012 petrol I load with 130,000 Km towed to my my mechanic because of funny noises , and the tow truck driver diagnosed the problem without even starting the motor, told me i loads are junk and i will need a new motor. Sad thing he was right, obviously its a common fault . The stitching in the seats came apart fixed on warranty, roof rack… Read more
mounting strip broke, they would not cover by warranty, clutch went at 90,000Km (my Hiace has over 300,00 on origional clutch ) seat belts are frayed ,would not pass road worthy, passenger seat belt is impossible to use . If you are a tradie look at the sliding door openings, the doors dont slide all the way back , and the safety cage covers 25% of the opening ( could not fit the draws from my old hiace in the I Load) Sliding door tracks have massive bulges that protrude into the van making shelving difficult to maximize ( I have lots of parts boxes ) Over all Disappointing would never buy another. If its price buy an LVD and take it to the tip after warranty, we are a disposable society

overall great van – very happy with my 2017 Iload van, runs really well except for 1 problem. Seems to be skipping a gear when manually shifting from 3rd to 4th. wandering if anyone else is having the same issue. Show details
Hyundai iload tq reliability – Purchased a 2008 iload in early 2009 used it as a country line haul runner kept it well maintained and did most 5000km servicing myself just blew a head gasket at 618000kms TRUE replaced 2 timing chain kits one at 350000km one at580000km and a water pump at 420000 so they can be reliable if you don't thrash them but nuture them.

still like Swiss clock running excellent Replaced tailgate strats and all regular services done by myself .by the way driving iload and handling is still very comfortable and far better then many new cars . recently 2022 y I bought new Triton and driving comfort and handling is much worse than iload. I m very sorry that Hyundai discontinued old iloads .new iloàd is peace of cr-p and will never buy it.its even uglier then my Triton. For all people stil have old model GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY like I do every day I drive it. Cheers S.P.

blown headgaskets – I own a 2015 and a 2018 , both iloads have been regularly serviced by Hyundai Maroochydore since new on time. the 2018 blew its head gasket under warrenty at 97000 kms and the 2015 blew its head gasket at 130000 kms out of warrenty and they offerd to fix it for $6300.00 . I bought the 2015 off "meals on wheels" , it had 90000kms on it serviced on… Read more
time, I bought the 2018 new with 5yrs warrenty from Hyundai and had it serviced by Hyundai and the head gasket blew on the 5th year. I own a small carpet cleaning buisness and the vans are used around the same area , each van has to bring in around $4000.00 a week to keep the company going , it takes a week to fix a head gasket plus the cost, that means it cost me over $10.000. to have it fixed , I bought Hyundai's because of " reliability and customer satisfaction" I cant afford this problem , i phoned Hyundai and got no where, no satisfaction .
Clutch master cylinder bleeding nipple location ? – Hey team, Im trying to locate the nipple & nut that need to be released in order to bleed the clutch in my 2011 Hyundai load. any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm struggling to locate it. thanks

I have had, from brand new ( 2014 ) a Hyundai iload with just over 200000klms. I am a bathroom renovator/ tiler by trade so this van cops an absolute hiding when it comes to working hard. I can honestly say its been absolutely fantastic. Its constantly loaded with heavy tools, tiles, cement bags and anything else I can fit in. Add to that weight… Read more
is a trailer loaded with sand and sometimes, concrete blue metal and it just goes with no complaints. Only replaced the aircon compressor last year (2025) and thats it. Regular services with using fully synthetic oil and no genuine issues at all. My brother had a 2010 model that blew its turbo just after 200000klms but other than that, no issues and in the same trade. Cant say why some go the distance and others dont, but personally, I can thoroughly recommend the iload.
Van has been in the workshop 9 times for same issue, now it’s out of warranty they want to charge to fix it, staying away from Hyundai altogether now Show details
Reliable, roomy, petrol. Not diesel – Hyundai Iload petrol manual. Purchased at 46xxxkms. At 160xxxkms. It’s been a good car. Has required a bit of maintenance, can hurt if you don’t know how to do some yourself. The AC compressor broke (1500). Have replaced suspension. If you don’t let a mechanic use cheap parts in your van it’s a good van. If they use cheap parts you’ll need to pay… Read more
to get it re done as it will drive poorly, e.g, brakes, control arms. I’ve spent around 6k in repairs and maintenance total over 8 years. That includes the clutch. So it’s not bad. The diesels are terrible, time bombs. I remember when I was searching to buy an Iload at least 1 in 5 diesels for sale had a rebuilt engine. I went with the petrol and I’m so glad I did. Yes after 15 years you may have to replace the rubber valve cover gasket, can be expensive with mechanics. But if your a little handy, those repairs that are more common in petrols like seals etc, can be very cheap to fix, e.g a new genuine valve cover gasket replacement only cost me 49 bucks and 7 hours. I’m confident I’ll get over 500 thousand kms from my petrol i load. Oils are really easy to change by yourself, diff takes 5 minutes, manual gearbox takes 10, engine oil takes 10. You can do a full blown major service in 2 hours. Great car, cheap to run and maintain. It’s just scam mechanics which inflate the maintenance costs with improper work and bad parts not caring. Otherwise best car I’ve ever owned. Way cheaper than any euro car by miles and miles and miles and miles.

Second hand problems 2011 model – Manual diesel 2011 (H1) iLoad : bought for 7k cash, it was great & has plenty of power so I put on all new tyres & it had a general service & then it bloody overheated , I towed it to the same mechanics & they replaced the entire cooling system loop which costed 2k, turns out I put in chemiweld solution but the seller already did that & he didn’t… Read more

Brilliant Van – Had my iLoad for 10 years now and it has never put a foot wrong. It has been filled with salty seawater toys all that time and has towed a caravan across Europe covering thousands of miles on tough roads. In all that time I have done nothing to it apart from obvious things like brakes and new shocks. It is a brilliant vehicle for half the price of… Read more
other vehicles like the VW. I would buy again in an instant except that I want a high top van and they have no such options. This would be my single complaint!
Hyundai iLoad Diesel problems – I am freaking out. I have read all of these reviews, mostly negative and costing a fortune for new motors etc-$13-17K! Even when the vans have been serviced as per the log book by Hyundai!! I believe there exists enough angst for a class action against Hyundai as many have said they had prior knowledge of their injector/turbo problems. you should… Read more
all get together. OR stand out the front of the dealer where you bought it with a big sign telling your story. Print all of these stories to hand out. Call your local newspaper. I own a 2011 iLoad diesel that I have babied along. I only use it for camping. It has done only 30k and after reading all of these horror stories I am thinking of selling it. I have had no problems yet but they wanted $250 to fix the map reading light above the rear vision mirror!
Hyundai iload – I am just reading here about your guys turbo problems and engine sizes problems and oil changes every 5000km... and how bad is Hyundai... man did you ever drive Lexus or Toyota boring car? Call taxi and enjoy trip with with the squeak plastic and noise tyres... But let’s talking about turbo engines. Better get turbo diesel then turbo petrol why?… Read more · 1
Turbo petrol gets more heat on turbo propeller then turbo diesel because diesel is just cooler running engine that is why you have problem get the engine during the winter more difficult to the working temperature what is around 90C. The turbo any turbo never will seal oil properly because the are not rubber seals there are just metal o rings the shaft is a little bit loose in the bearings,why. Because the turbo have tu turn and run smoothly from minus 20 C up to 110C imagine in some countries is that cold in winter that large temperature is on one part as turbo. Every turbo has income oil tru 6-8mm! -pipe does it mean you can not put mineral oil in to turbo engine. Many of those pipes run next to the exhaust manifold what make them crazy hot and can be easily plug with any oil slug or will build slug in that oil pipe directly and less oil will come to the engine and the turbo will be sized. This is oil - turbo problem will call it heart attack. Now what happens if the turbo sized. The bearings will make bigger gap because there are just bronze bushes and not oil for couple of minutes the turbo spinning 30.000rpm and shaft getting more losse and the propeller hit the wall and the turbo stops but....... the propeller will brake on pieces and where the cast pieces go? Have gues ! Then when you stupid dumb Mechanik just take the old turbo out and replace it you don’t be surprised when after couple of km will sized the engine. Why? Because he/ you left the broken pieces right in front your intake valves and they can be stuck there for longer or they go right in tu the chamber. That is second miracle why “rubbish”Hyundai got sized engine. And now the main reason for all you guys. The first always leave the engine run when is cold for one minute. And always leave the engine run before you switch it off for minim one minute for all turbocharged engines! Why? Red hot propeller and gravity understand.? No? Ok you going on highway or in city say highway and now you see petrol station you take off from highway and stop on that pump turn engine off and go and have coffee or whatever but what is going on inside the engine? The propeller is red hot on petrol cars orange and after orange is only yellow colour before the cast gonna melt... Ok the propeller is red hot and stopped. The oil is starting to boil inside the 6mm oil pipe and starting building up more slug on the fences. The turbo actually the shaft in the turbo is bending by gravity force then you come back and start your engine again but the sound is different the propeller is very close tu the wall and is not in center anymore... hit the wall and you have to stop and think- damn this Hyundai broke down what a rubbish car... ha ha ok then...
great van but like most people – the van has been fantastic , serviced with synthetic oil every 15000kms for the last 3 months slight whistling from turbo and then it failed . ii have done about 170000kms with no problems i managed to get it home slowly as the turbo feels like it seized , will be fitting aftermarket turbo and will see how it goes fingers crossed. there was no… Read more
sign the turbo was about to go apart from the whistling (which wasnt very loud ) oh yeah in the time i have owned it, one of the leaf springs cracked , i wouldn't have known apart from the sound it generated from sliding across and touching the body , the rest of the leafs were ok on that side.

Works well. Petrol model – Bought new in June 2016. 2.4L Petrol manual. I've now got 22000 KLM's on it. So far it has been a great vehicle. I would have preferred the Auto Diesel but I couldn't justify the cost difference. The calculations showed that I would have broken even on fuel costs by the time the vehicle reaches 200K klm's but this did not include the extra… Read more
servicing costs that would be incurred. If I buy another one, it will be the Auto Diesel mainly for the driving pleasure and to hell with the rational that I've adhered to all my 50 years of life.One can't take the money with you after all! Goes well enough even towing a 8 x 5 trailer full loaded, even uphill. The gearing is rather quite tall which is great on the highway without a trailer on but with the trailer and a stiff headwind 4th sometimes is better. It will tow at 100K cruising just. It will however perform if you give it plenty of rev's but the fuel consumption will also rise steeply. Getting about 600 K per 70 L tank, without trailer, mainly on the highway. I love the spaciousness of the vehicle especially the cab. After a Mitsubishi Express, where half my shoulder was out the window in order to fit in, the cab on the Hyundai is comfortably wide enough to close the window and run the great A/C system with elbow room to move. Transmission is great with a silky smooth shift. The rear suspension is rather stiff unladen however this van does carry a ton very well.Even 200 kg in the back and it's much better. The revised key fob works a treat overcoming the issues people had before. Rear reversing camera is very much appreciated and a great safety feature. The large tyres and wide stance also give this vehicle great stability. The brakes are powerful enough even fully loaded with a unbraked trailer. The sound system is not very loud and I think the volume diminishes as you crank it up over time possibly due to the amplifier inside protecting itself. I fitted a separate aftermarket stand alone amplifier and some new speakers in the door and it improved it out of sight. The fuel flap release button on a couple of occasions failed to work but there is a emergency release handle in the back which opened it. Perhaps it just needs some grease or there is a loose connection. Anyone with any experience with this and the fix for it please contact me.The seating, power steering, electric windows, electric mirrors,great a/c, airbags, 4 star safety rating, quietness, media system, improved fuel economy compared to Mits Express all combine to make this a great van. I'd also like to give a shout out to Barton's Hyundai Brisbane ,Phill in particular, for their great friendly non pushy service. Not like the stereo typical car salesman, very refreshing indeed. He even picked me up from Brisbane Airport, the car had a full tank of fuel, and genuine floor mats were thrown in for what was a good no trade price and certainly much cheaper, even after airfares and fuel costs, than what my local dealer could do the deal for in Townsville where they have no competition and do resort to using sales "tactics".
Update on fuel door not opening sometimes. The wires that supply power to the actuator are too small. This device use 12 amps directly connected to the battery but only draws 8 amps at the harness. I had a large power wire there already for my amplifier and extra power sockets for camping so I connected a relay to drive the actuator. It now opens very strongly and the intermittent issues should be solved.
Good Van with some problums – I have had this van since 2013 and have 200,000km on it just done the injectors and turbo that cost me $6,000 to fix but considering this van has not had any of the services done on time this is pretty good. biggest fault i have had is the tyres keep scrubbing out and some suspension problems nether one Hyundai would admit to and fix, had found… Read more
the front wheal Bearing was not fitted properly in the factory (not found by Hyundai even though they had checked the wheal bearing).
If Hyundai would look at complaints properly some bad feelings would be avoided, as this is when we stooped having our van serviced by them as they don't do the job properly anyway.
So to sum this up the biggest problem Hyundai cars have is there service centers, but in saying that we have hade the same problem with Toyota service centers to.
So far so good – Hi great van that drives quite and smooth My van is diseal auto with 60ks Always survived with Hyundai and With no problems nock on wood I do a of mix of city and country driving The only thing I would like is curse control but You really don’t need it as triffic always seems To make you hit the bracks I drove a HiAce that… Read more
was tight and box like feeling
That was petrol and was nice
I drove a transporter a few times and after long drives it I hit out feeling shore and had a head ack
From the amount of sound that come from the back also driving down hills is lound and strange
As the gear box try’s to hold the van in a low gear
That make a large amount of sound and not a smoth drive
It’s a common thing and most drives say that you have to get use to it
And my last advice is let Hyundai service the van
You need the computer updates and they also
Change things that are not listed on the book (seals and pips ) they make them they no
What need to be done that your normal repairer don’t no they should that’s how they make there money and keep there money coming in
Safe driving
It just does everything it is supposed to and then some – Purchased new in 2011, This vehicle has been just remarkable. 135000k. Serviced regularly. Diesel manual, mainly city driving, all mechanical bits still original. Have had cruise control fitted, done trips Brisbane Adelaide, Brisbane Griffith, Brisbane Sydney. Excellent fuel economy and comfortable. When purchased the dealer stressed to have it… Read more
service on time an that it would not be a bad idea to change the oil & oil filter between scheduled service. Done that. Now lining up for my 2nd one.
Front seat issues – Have owned since new seam on front passenger has come apart have changed on warranty once before this is even though no one sits in this seat tradie van.Spoke to Hyundai said would replace again but need vehicle for the day.This very annoying as costing me while not on road Show details
Terrible, Avoid iload, trash & dodgy company – Got second hand 2011 iload turbo diesel with 167,000km, seemed ok for 1st tank of fuel, got about 600km city driving. Second tank just randomly died... got towed in to dealership- turbo disintegrated in engine so needed new engine & turbo (they kept it for over 1 month) Has oil consumption issue & also acceleration issue (no power). I can tell… Read more
its not going to last long, had it for about 1.5 years & last few months its had really bad performance.
I think blow-by is to blame... from what I've learned about EGR valves its a wonder that oil catch cans do not come factory standard (built in obsolescence comes to mind) Since its so hard to reach the egr valve & it seems to be extremely important to have cleaned regularly to protect the turbo & also the intake manifold etc- so if they did have catch cans and/or easy access to EGR Hyundai wouldn't get as much profit from new engines etc.
I regret choosing Hyundai, I don't think my business can survive whats just around the corner, don't even feel right selling on to someone else.
Love it – So reliable.234000 klms only battery and brake pads. comfort and reliability.wouldnt mind a rear view camera but have learnt to just back with care.even tow a small caravan with it when not using it as my daily tradies vehicle.i have never owned a better van and one capable of comfortably travelling distance Show details
Good van – Ideal van for our business, important to keep the services up to date, I have two diesels and both get serviced every 5,000-7,000 kms so that good oil is always up to the engine, oil is a lot cheaper than a new engine, driven properly, no thrashing, the iLoad will last a long time Show details
Great van but needs looking after! – Drives like a car and has plenty of grunt, still pulls at 80ks! Really comfy inside not like other vans. Downside is the common problems these vans are facing. My intercooler ruptured and started sucking oil back through it and sprayed onto the engine. The air flow filter/monitor is just not very good because it didn't pick up the leak. Also and… Read more
you must stress this to your mechanic the diesel injectors need servicing every 40,000 kms as they have two washers(similar to o rings) that can come lose and then this allows carbon to build up on them. In serious cases the carbon can be sucked into the engine and that means........new engine.
I love my iload van but having seen at least 5 of these this year with its engine pulled out I warn all owners to get full and thorough servicing on their vehicles. Keep her sweet and she'll keep you Sweet!
Waste of money – I thought it was a great car, I bought the 2009 manual diesel model off a bloke on car sales, it didn’t even last a year before the turbo went and the engine blew, it was going to cost 15-20k to get fixed so I had to get rid of it. Show details
My pride and joy – Great van,2009 model petrol,bought at 23000 kms now 149000kms not a problem,have turned into a full camper ,pop up roof excellent vehicle would recommend to anyone Wouldn’t swap it for anything Currently at repairers after I reversed into a tree ,so respraying back door and bonnet from stone chips ,so I’ll get another 5 years at least Keep it serviced and it will look after you Show details
Hyundai iLoad Review – This is my second Hyundai iLoad. I traded my old 5 speed manual petrol for a 6 speed manual diesel. The reversing camera is a terrific safety feature. I find the AM radio has less interference and antenna relocated to the rear of the vehicle roof may have something to do with that. Nudge bar, rear bumper with step and cargo barrier are also nice… Read more
options.
The redesigned key prevents less accidental locking and opening.
Two criticisms are they still don't have cruise control as an option with manual transmission, and fog lights are not an option either. These are not difficult, so why not offer them?
Lemon of a car – I purchased this vehicle just over 2 years ago and had nothing but problems, I paid $29,000 and have had the brakes done 3 times and continued to have problems with them, the turbo went last year and was replaced under warranty also the butterfly brackets replaced under warranty, one year later the engine has blown up and the turbo with an… Read more
estimate of $15,000 to repair! no compensation so far from the dealership, I still owe $22,000 and run a small business which is suffering..I have gone to consumer affairs for help.
