Great Vehicle never missed a beat owned since new 2013 build 2014 buy
Solid, Reliable, Family !! Is what comes into mind when I think about my Imax, i love it as a single mum I've never had to worry never skipped a beat no issues at all and shes 10 years old now! I would consider buying a newer model but since it's know longer an option I'll keep loving the one I've got . Happy Mumma Show detailsgreat people mover very comfortable and roomy
just bought this 2016 petrol ex motel transport bus with 180000 km on it for 17000k. Fantastic to drive heaps of space. I went for a petrol due to the documented issues with the diesel and an unknown service history. Sure maybe a little thirstier but acceptable no worse than a falcon for example. I only need this short term for family event. The extra room is worth it. My biggest focus was a super clean interior which I found was harder to find. After now driving it for a few weeks I may even keep it longer. Very smooth and solid on the road. Probably my only criticism is no cruise control on this model but I can live with this. Highly recommend Imax for a roomy large family vehicle. Show detailsAn absolute dream to climb in and drive anywhere

Great specious vehicle, probably you can live in it.You must be a good driver as the van is big it is bit tough to park and get around.
Take fair bit of fuel though.

2010 Market Value
Hi there, wanting feedback on the market value of a 2010 Hyundai iMax 8 seater fuel auto 170,000kms approx. The vehicle is service regularly. Clean and tidy inside. Had a touch up repaint. Show detailsThe petrol engine is perfectly adequate, who are you, Craig Lowndes??!
I own a 2014 petrol automatic. I've just returned from a trip with four blokes in it, luggage and heaps of gear, vehicle was probably pushing three tonnes, the car was faultless.People go on about the petrol engine being gutless. Yes, there is less torque than the diesel, but it's easily driven around...How you ask??
Just kick it into third via the button on the gear stick! The car was accelerating up hills this way, it's totally adequate. Torque peak is at 4000 rpm, let it spin there when you need to, and you will have no problem. It just r... Read more
equires a bit more from YOU, the driver. With all that weight and sitting on 110kph+, we were at 10.7 l/100. Completely acceptable. I like the fact the petrol engine is NOT the direct injection version that has given issues in other Hyundai vehicles, it is the port injection version and is very well proven, based on a Mitsubishi design that has been in many cars. There is no turbo charger, and if you abuse it, it's probably more resistant to abuse than the diesel is as it's lower tech. Use floor mats and possibly seat covers as the carpet and fabric seems a bit thin, they've prob tried to save some money here. I'm happy with it, it's kind of like a lumbering St Bernard dog, loyal and a bit goofy : )Useful vehicle
We use ours as a big family wagon, minibus and van. Getting the seats out is easy but they are heavy! Also the 14mm bolts holding the 2 rows of seats come out of the factory super tight, so you'll need a heavy duty rattle gun to loosen them for the 1st time. The petrol is underpowered and requires the use of the overdrive button on steep hills. The 2.4l engine is super quiet and might have enough grunt if it had 2 or more gears. That aside it is very quiet out on the road, not just for a van, it is very quiet, the sound system is good and the w... Read morearranty and service from Hyundai excellent. There is lack of flexibility as the seats don't fold down. However you can carry 8 adults in comfort and still have plenty of luggage space. Being rear wheel drive and sitting over the front wheels it's quite a pleasurable driving experience with an amazingly tight turning circle. The lack of cruise control can be fixed with an aftermarket unit for $750, that's only 1 or 2 speeding fines so definitely worth it. Overall, it's cheap and it's big :) Update* On the Diesel vs Petrol argument The diesel is quicker The petrol is cheaper to buy, maintain, service, the engine is more reliable and the cost ULP makes the fuel costs comparable. The petrol is super quiet round town, the diesel sounds like a commercial vehicle. The diesel engine is known to be fragile and very expensive to fixI love my imax
I have the diesel and it's a great drive. I love the torque of the diesel. Pulls like a bloody train and l get nearly 900km to a tank. I tried the petrol but wouldn't recommend. It's a very basic vehicle which suits me. Good mechanics and a great turning circle. Build quality is good and it's very solid. My only gripes would be:The very rear seat can not be folded down to make extra room- it has to be removed (4 bolts and a two person lift)
There is no grab handle for the passenger but there is one for the driver. This is odd as the van v… Read more · 1
ersion, the iload, does have a passenger handle. lt's very handy to swing yourself into your seat. Don't know why they wouldn't put that in.lf anyone can tell me, please get in touch. The aftermarket cruise control is clunky and awkward to use, so not really the imax's fault but these units seem to be fairly common on older imax's. All in all, a good vehicle and if you are used to car performance, you will be at home in a diesel imax.Great spacious car
Now have a had two of these, updated in June 2017. Current 2016 model is diesel instead of Petrol which has more power and tank lasts twice as long. So spacious for our large family, only wish it had more towing capacity as we will probably have to trade in next year to a more suitable vehicle to tow a camper.The kids love it with a DVD player now and plenty of space for growing teenagers and the young ones with car seats.
The main issue/complaint is the latest models cruise control is terrible and very delayed at responding, probably not ... Read more
an issue if only traveling around town but we frequently travel long distances. My husband has mentioned this to service department, they stated they have had several complaints but no action offered to rectify. Overall would highly recommend to anyone looking for a large passenger only vehicle.Good engine poor plastic
We bought this car in 2014 and recently we started having issues where the dashboard fascia crashed and started to fall apart, cup holder also broke in the second year or so, power outlet socket came off in the third year.I've also been extremely disappointed with the service centre where I take the car to get maintenance done but that's a different story.
The pros of this car is the space and and engine reliability.

Big family car
We bought our family 8 seater car in Feb 2017. We love this car cos it's a very spacious car. We just back from camping and we put even tower fan, 2 bicycles, 5 camp strechers , tents, blankets and all camp equipment into the car. Perfect size except the petrol is so so.We understand the big car probably petrol is one of the concern. Other than that, the bluetooth is good too.
I love the air conditioning in the 2nd and 3rd rolls so my kids can adjust during the hot or cold day by themself.
One of dislike is the slide door is too heavy. I need to close harder.

Questions & Answers
I have miss placed the bolts for the third row sat in my Hyundai imax 2013. Would anyone know the size I need to replace them.
Go to a bolt retailer with the vehicle.
Can u add more seats in the imax so it's seats 10 instead of 8
Would not think so as that proceedure would require an engineering certification and will probebly be illegal under ADR rules. Better to direct your question to Australian Design Rules if possible.
No there would not be the room for more seats safely and a host of other issues around engineering, overloading, access etc . I would look for Toyota Hiace LWB . a factory built vehicle with seats commonly used a mini bus would be my suggestion.
Looking for better fuel consumption from my Imax 2019 auto Deisel, around town 15L per 100Ks driving very smoothly and staying under 2000 RPM. any advice for a better fuel consumption please.
On a trip away we averaged 8.5L per 100Ks, (Great)
Regards Gordon.
i would probably get it scanned for any faults. My old diesel i load work van would get about 10-12L around town and 8.5 on trips . around town i used to lock out overdrive the average load was about 600kgs.
Thank you, will give that a try.
