Hyundai H 1 Grand Starex is a minibus belonging to the family car segment. In terms of quality and technical characteristics, it will compete with global brands such as Mercedes, Volkswagen, etc. In European markets, the model is called Starex, but it is better known to the domestic buyer under the H1 index. Its huge advantage is fuel economy with a sufficiently powerful engine, and it is also worth noting that it can be used both in the city and when traveling long distances.

A bit of history

For the first time, the Korean company introduced the Hyundai Grand Starex model back in 1996. It was separated into a separate production. A few years later, in 2007, a continuation of this series appears. Although the manufacturer called it the second generation, the result exceeded all expectations. The car turned out to be completely new in all respects and characteristics. It is worth noting that the design developed in 2007 can no longer be called modern, but it is still relevant, sincethe main emphasis of the exterior is made on the classics.

Some experts after the debut noticed minor elements of copying. However, the plagiarism was done so subtly, and most importantly, in moderation, that the Grand Starex (reviews from motorists confirm this) seemed quite original and unique.

External features of the minibus

When developing a car, the manufacturer focused on the severity and restraint of design. And it is worth noting that he did not lose. In front, we can see a voluminous two-row bumper. Holes for fog lights are installed on the sides in its lower part. They are made in the form of a parallelepiped. The Grand Starex radiator grille has a chrome finish consisting of three levels. The company logo is emblazoned on the middle. The shape of the lattice resembles a ladle, the edges of which diverge upward. The optics of the head light is quite large, somewhat elongated from top to bottom. The inner side of the headlights is angled, giving them the shape of a rectangular triangle with fuzzy lines. The hood is straight, no ribs. In general, the look of the Hyundai H 1 Grand Starex turned out to be courageous, dynamic and laconic in a masculine way.

There are two doors on the side: one for the driver and front passenger, the second for boarding the cabin. The back is a rectangle. The headlights are located on the sides, elongated from top to bottom, narrow, but long enough. The tailgate is also designed in rectangular shapes, opening up.

Salon Features

Hyundai Grand Starex is designed for elevenseats, including the driver. The seats are arranged in three rows. The landing of the car is quite high, so in order to get into the salon, you will need to use the handle, which is specially provided for this purpose. All seats have good lateral support. On the second and third rows, the backs of the chair can be folded down, resulting in a compact table with a compartment for glasses. Interior trim quality, but also designed in a classic style. Some motorists claim that for such a price, something more extravagant could be done.

Control systems

For drivers, it will be interesting to know that the steering wheel is adjustable only in height, and there are no adjustments for reach. Although, according to many owners, this option is very lacking. All seats are equipped with comfortable armrests. Very comfortable and even necessary is the adjustment of the seats horizontally and vertically. This mechanism is configured only manually, there are no automatic functions.

Packages

For the domestic buyer, there are three versions of the Grand Starex model. The base offers a standard set. These are airbags, ABS and EBD systems, alloy wheels. The top filling is somewhat more interesting. Here you can get a two-tone body color, a sliding mechanism for the rear windows, as well as an ESP stabilization complex and leather trim.
