Hyundai i800 (2008-2019) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
One of the few cars with room for eight	Poor fuel economy
Lots of luggage space	Interior quality could be better
Cheap to buy	Huge size makes finding a parking space a challenge

Quick Summary

The Hyundai i800 (2008-2019) is a full eight-seater van-based people carrier that offers exceptional practicality for large families. Based on the Hyundai iLoad van, it measures over five metres long and provides 851 litres of boot space with all seats in place. All six rear seats are full-sized and comfortable, with excellent headroom and legroom even for tall adults. Large sliding side doors and a spacious tailgate make loading and unloading passengers straightforward, whilst the commanding driving position and excellent visibility make it surprisingly easy to drive around town.

The i800 is powered by a single 2.5-litre diesel engine available in 134bhp or 168bhp variants, with manual or automatic transmissions respectively. Whilst fuel consumption is modest at around 31mpg, the vehicle remains affordable to purchase, with used examples available from as little as £4,000. Standard equipment is generous, including air-conditioning, remote central locking, rear parking sensors, and infotainment systems on higher trims. However, the van-based design means interior materials feel budget-focused, and the inflexible seating layout requires tools and time to reconfigure. Insurance groupings range from 28-35, and servicing is required every 10,000 miles.

Best for: Large families needing eight seats, buyers on a budget seeking maximum practicality and luggage space, and those prioritising passenger comfort over driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Drivers concerned with fuel economy, those seeking premium interior quality, or buyers with limited parking space due to the vehicle's substantial size.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i800 if: You need eight seats, are on a budget, or seek maximum practicality and luggage space for large families.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise fuel economy, premium interior quality, or have limited parking space.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i800 (2008-2019) stands out as one of the few genuinely affordable eight-seater options available on the used market. Whilst rivals like the Land Rover Discovery and Jeep Grand Cherokee offer superior build quality and driving dynamics, they command higher prices and typically seat fewer passengers. The i800's van-based design delivers exceptional practicality and space at a fraction of the cost, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious families prioritising passenger capacity and cargo room over premium materials and fuel efficiency. For those willing to accept modest fuel consumption and utilitarian interior design, the i800 represents outstanding value.
