Hyundai’s ever popular H1 MPV bus has been given an extra row of seats taking the carrying capacity to 12 people.

The addition space comes courtesy of a fourth row of seats (with 3 rows of seats behind the driver). This means that the 12-seater H1 bus will have a “3-3-3-3” seating configuration.

The added rear bench in the new derivative can be moved forward to increase the luggage area when that row of seats is not needed. Customers will thus have the option to treat the H1 12-seater bus as a 9-seater with a sizable luggage space, or a 12-seater with a small “boot” space.

The H-1 12-Seater bus is fired by Hyundai’s 2 497 cc turbocharged diesel engine with 125 kW of power and 441 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic gearbox.

The H-1 2. 5 Elite 12-Seater Bus slots into the middle of the H1 range and will priced form R664,900.
