Seat Covers for HYUNDAI ILOAD TQ 1-5 08/2008 - 05/2021 SINGLE/CREW CAB UTILITY VAN FRONT BUCKET + _ BENCH WITH FOLD DOWN ARMREST CHARCOAL CHALLENGER

Charcoal is the grey of the two finishes here, and on a TQ iLoad it reads as a deliberate trim choice rather than something thrown over tired seats. Cut identical to the black set: front bucket, the bench across from it with its drop-down armrest, and the headrests.

Sun through an upright windscreen

Vans point a large, nearly vertical screen at the sky all day, and the front row cops most of it. UV resistant is how the supplier describes this canvas, alongside water resistant — no fade rating is published and no waterproof claim is made, so take both words at face value. The cloth itself is cotton canvas over a high-density polyurethane foam layer that the supplier links to comfort, strength and thermal insulation, with heavy-duty polyester used for the backing and side skirting.

Somewhere to put things

A pocket is fitted to the rear of the seat, which in a van is often the only place a driver can stow paperwork without it ending up in the footwell. Beyond that the kit is plain: it wraps the front high bucket, the two-place bench with its fold-down armrest, and the headrests. The supplier states no professional installation is needed. Nothing is supplied for the cargo area behind the bulkhead.

Fitment is thinner than it should be

Two different date spans circulate for this part. This listing's title carries 08/2008 to 05/2021; the description shipped with it carries 2008 to 2022. Both are recorded rather than one being chosen. The bigger gap is model identification — the supplier's 'suits models' entry contains a single letter and nothing else. Cab type is all you get. Check your own seats against the pictures first.

Points to settle first

• Airbag position: airbag compatible is what the supplier states, and it is published here on that basis alone. There is no tear-seam description and no named standard behind it. Check your seat for a side airbag before fitting, and get a trimmer's opinion if anything looks doubtful.
• Conflicting dates: the two sources differ. Both spans are listed above.
• Missing codes: no build codes are published for this item.
