Hyundai Motor Company Australia's iLoad range has picked up its
second major Australian award from Delivery Magazine.
Last year the iLoad CRDi 6 seat crew van was given the honour of
'Best Medium Van' 2008. This year Delivery Magazine has awarded the
title of 'Best Van of the Year' 2009 to the complete iLoad CRDi
range, including both the 3 seat van and 6 seat crew van.
"The Hyundai iLoad CRDi is fuel efficient with a high degree of
inbuilt safety and is class leading in terms of value for money,"
said Managing Editor and Publisher of Delivery Magazine, Mr. Chris
Mullett. "The semi-bonneted design provides cross cab access and
with easy access through barn doors or a tailgate plus sliding side
load doors, it is undoubtedly able to offer appeal across a wide
sector of buyers."
With excellent drivability, versatile crew van option and
overall value for money, the iLoad CRDi range offers Australian van
buyers impeccable build quality and a world class 2.5 litre turbo
Diesel engine that returns a fuel consumption\* rating of 8.5 litres
/ 100 km (when mated to the 5 speed manual transmission) - and it's
backed by a solid 5 year / 160,000 km warranty.
The iLoad range has already become a popular seller in its first
full year of sales. In April it was Australia's second equal best
selling van.
"The iLoad range is extremely competitive with standard ABS,
dual airbags and dual sliding doors," commented Kevin McCann,
Hyundai's Director of Sales and Marketing. "Our research shows that
Commercial Vehicle buyers are looking for functionality and low
operating costs. We believe the iLoad range offers both of these
attributes plus an excellent cabin and standard equipment
list."
