[Revenant]

www.worldwide.hyundai-motor.com

For all markets outside of Korea and the EU, power for the new H-1 is provided by a 2.5-liter turbocharged intercooled engine (4D56). Euro-III emissions-compliant, the 4D56 delivers 100ps of horsepower and 23kg m of torque whilst delivering 9.4km per litre of fuel. It's mated to a five-speed manual gearbox or the optional four-speed automatic.

For the EU and Korean markets, the new H-1 gets the A 2.5 CRDi, a Euro-IV compliant engine which with the assistance of a Variable Geometry Turbocharger delivers 170ps and 40kg m of torque. The base gearbox is a five-speed manual but an automatic is available as an option, in either four- or five-speed versions, depending on local market requirements.

For markets requiring gasoline propulsion, the 2.4-liter Theta engine is a new offering to the range. Delivering 170ps and 22.8kg m of torque, the Theta can propel the new H-1 to a maximum speed of 185km/h and has a fuel economy rating of 7.1km per litre.

Key new exterior features include the addition of dual sliding side doors, twin swing rear doors (commercial van only), enlarged wheels and tires (205/70R15 -> 215/70R16), back-up warning system (passenger van only) and a sliding side window (wagon only).

Production of the new H-1 diesel edition starts in August 2007 while the petrol version won't be available until after November 2007.

based on the new starex engine specs alone (CRDi with VGT), the japanese van makers have been left behind.

did you guys notice that the H-1 in the photos has sliding doors on both sides? definitely a plus!

This is the new engine of the Sorento released last year.

Sabi ng Hyundai SA sa MIAS sa July DAW ito lalabas. So far, Hyundai are on schedule when their SA's give infos like this. Sabi ko kasi, I own a Santa Fe and I am looking at a second car like the Tucson or Sportage. Then she said "lalabas sa July yung bagong Starex".

Bakit jap engine rated at 100 hp lang ang install nila samantalang maganda naman performance ng current starex engines rated * 145hp. Body design na lang sana palitan nila

Guess that's July 2008, right? Kasi production starts in August? Why kaya does it take so long to get here after production start? Halos 1 year?!?!

Sana may 4x4 version parang Delica -- which, IMHO, was our 'other' Starex before the Innova came about.

O.T. my dad tells me na karamihan ng golf courses dito sa'tin ngaun, panay Koreans and Japs ang laman dito. as in dinadayo pa, and my dad tells me they're encouraged pa (and some subsidized) by their own respective govts.

considering average laro ah 1.8k+ up to 3k * 3 hours play, kung 1 day sila, malamang nakaka 6k/day sila sama na kain, excluding hotel accomodations. Sa SM City Baguio lang this holy week, mga pamilya nila namamakyaw ng toblerone. as in 1 full cart!

mayayaman na ang Koreans and Japs. won't be long at par na 'tong dalawang 'to. no wonder Korean cars are keeping up. hindi lang sila sa golf course nag-cocompete mga execs nila hehehe
