“A game changer. And proper car of the year material!” These are the words of a respected peer who gave me a lift to the recent Hyundai Staria Multicab launch near Cape Town.
H1
Launch Report: 2021 Hyundai Staria
Welcome to the year 2030!
Hyundai has released the all-new Staria which replaces the H1 in it’s entirety! I’ll never forget when Toyota released the Previa (years ago) which seemed like they had imported it from the future. Do you also remember their TV ad, stating ‘I have never seen anything like it before’?
Tested: 2018 Hyundai H-1 2.5 CRDi Bus Elite
Hyundai’s H-1 bus represents excellent value when compared to its luxurious German rivals but is value for money always a good thing? We took the fancy 2.5 turbo-diesel nine-seater for a seaside getaway to find out.
Launch Report: Hyundai H-1 Facelift
It seems like Hyundai is on a mission to keep all its products fresh ‘n crispy – we recently attended the launch of their face-lifted H-1 bus range.
Top List: Boot Space
Ag no man. Your mother-in-law is coming along on holiday and the kids want to take ALL their toys and sports equipment along. Where are you going to fit all of this?
Perhaps you have already invested in a sizable trailer and decent roof-top box but your car simply can’t handle more luggage. Well, we at NamWheels love to help and have compiled a list of cars with at least 400L of luggage space. Big enough to put your skoonma in the boot.
Padtoets: Hyundai H1
H1-bussie bied nou selfs nog meer as die vorige modelle
Hyundai se bemarkingspan in Suid-Afrika het, sedert die bekendstelling van sy petrol- en turbo-diesel formaat H1-reeks in 2009, uitstekend daarin geslaag om hierdie gewilde negesitplekbussie ‘n markleier hier te lande te maak. Dit was veral die toe bloeiende toeristemark wat ‘n groot afsetgebied geskep het maar wat die laaste jaar noustrop getrek het onder drakoniese en sinnelose wetgewing vanaf regeringskant.
Launch Report: 2016 Hyundai H1 update
The bang bus
As our first launch report for 2016, it’s only fitting that it should start with a bang. Bang for your buck, that is. In a market where small city runabouts long surpassed six figures and compact luxury sedans are pushing half a bar, it’s great to know that Hyundai’s updated H1 bus range represents excellent value.
Padtoets: Hyundai H1 Multicab
Aan die begin van matriek op Uniondale het ek ‘n kortstondige loopbaan as bestuurder van ‘n aflweringsvoertuig beleef. Oom Hubert van der Spuy se winkelbestuurder het my aangestel om elke middag ná skool die 1958 Chev bakkie te bestuur waarin bestellings afgelewer moet word. Toe ek die bakkie terug bring na die eerste dag se suksesvolle aflewerings, het hy terloops gevra of ek al ‘n bestuurderslisensie het. Ek het nog nie een gehad nie en is summier afbetaal!
Launched: Hyundai H1 Multicab
The split shuttle
Monday, 23 January 2012, Kuils River. The glamorous honours of our first launch report for 2012 go to the decidedly unglamorous Hyundai H1 Multicab. Still, I encourage you to read on as this vehicle is big on space, big on versatility and big on value for money.
