Hyundai isn’t known for their vans, but
spy photographers have caught pictures of the upcoming H-1 / Starex / iMax. The van is heavily disguised
but features an all-new front fascia with a wide grille that appears to span
nearly the full width of the vehicle. Additional details are hard to make out,
but we can see headlights that are mounted low on the bumper. This suggests the
model will adopt split lighting units similar to those found on crossovers such
as the Santa Fe, Palisade and Venue.
Moving further back, we can see pronounced
wheel arches and triangular front quarter glass. The model also has larger
windows which should help to improve visibility. The van also retains its boxy
shape as practicality and space are the name of the game.
The interior picture isn’t the best, but
we can see the van will have a free-standing infotainment system and a
passenger side dashboard with metallic accents that flow into the air vent. The
latter feature can also be found on the 2022 Tucson, which debuted earlier this
week.
Little else is known about the van at this
point, but we can expect an assortment of petrol and diesel engines. We also
wouldn’t be surprised if the current five-speed automatic transmission is
replaced by something a bit more modern. The redesigned H-1 / Starex / iMax is
expected to be introduced next year and should be offered in a variety of
international markets.
