Tyres and wheels for Hyundai i800, wheel size on Хуундаи и800

Tires on Hyundai i800 (Хуундаи)

The Hyundai i800 minibus made its debut in 2008, when the South Korean brand introduced the most spacious of the compact commercial models for passenger transport to the European market. It was part of the utilitarian H-1 second-generation lineup, standing out from its representatives with its positioning - a spacious family or corporate minivan with an improved level of comfort and an extended set of equipment. The vehicle offered up to eight seats, a spacious salon, and relatively low operating costs. Among the main competitors in the segment were the Toyota Hiace, Volkswagen Transporter, and Ford Tourneo Custom, but the Korean model focused on combining rich equipment and an attractive price. Thanks to this, the i800 occupied a special niche among full-size passenger vans.

Body Architecture and Layout

The basis was a modernized platform of the second-generation H-1, known in some markets as the Starex. The vehicle's design retains the classic scheme for the segment: a longitudinally mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, and a frame integrated into the bearing body. This solution provides high cargo capacity and traction stability when fully loaded.

Externally, the model almost completely repeats the utilitarian H-1, but differs in the design of the front, the level of trim, and the focus on the passenger segment. The body has impressive dimensions: the length exceeds 5 meters, and the wheelbase provides spaciousness in the salon even in the full eight-seat configuration.

The suspension is built according to the classic scheme for light commercial vehicles: at the front, an independent construction with McPherson struts is used, and at the rear, a dependent spring system with a rigid beam. This architecture allows withstanding significant loads and provides vehicle stability on the road.

The overwhelming majority of minibus versions were equipped with a 2.5-liter inline diesel "four" with a turbocharger from the CRDi family. This engine is equipped with a direct fuel injection system Common Rail and a turbine with variable geometry. Depending on the version, its power ranges from 136 to 170 horsepower. The engine is combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic transmission. The main type of drive is rear-wheel drive, which favorably distinguishes the vehicle from many front-wheel drive competitors. This scheme provides better traction when fully loaded and increased stability on the road. Despite its impressive size, the vehicle demonstrates good fuel efficiency for its class. The average consumption is at the level of 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers. In combination with a large fuel tank, this makes the vehicle convenient for long trips.

Interior and Passenger Space Equipment

One of the key differences from the standard H-1 is the higher level of salon equipment. The interior is designed with an emphasis on passenger comfort and the convenience of long trips. The salon provides up to three rows of seats. The second row can be made in the form of separate chairs that are easily moved along the guides or folded. Thanks to this, the internal space is easily adapted to different tasks - from transporting passengers to transporting large luggage.

Available equipment includes a air conditioner with separate air ducts for rear passengers, a multimedia system, heated seats, and electric windows. For increased safety, front airbags, a stability system, and an anti-lock braking system are provided.

Operational Features and Positioning

The model occupies an intermediate position between a commercial van and a full-fledged family minivan. Its design is focused on transporting a large number of passengers, while maintaining a high level of reliability and durability. The main advantage of the model is the combination of spaciousness, simplicity, and durability of the design, as well as moderate operating expenses. Unlike many competitors, this minibus offers a spacious salon even in basic versions, making it popular among transfer services, corporate fleets, and large families. Rear-wheel drive and a robust suspension allow the vehicle to confidently handle full loads and long trips. Thanks to these qualities, the model continues to enjoy stable demand in various markets.

The factory equipment provides for the use of wheels with a mounting diameter of 16 or 17 inches, as well as tires in the size of 215/70 R16 and 215/65 R17. These parameters ensure the necessary balance between cargo capacity, stability, and driving comfort. You can always select suitable positions for equipment in the "Mosavtoshina" online store.
