What is the difference between the manual and automatic Hyundai iMax diesel?

The 6-speed manual makes 100kW/343Nm and tows up to 2000kg braked with an 815kg payload, while the 5-speed automatic makes more power (125kW/441Nm) and is smoother to drive but is rated to a lower 1500kg braked tow limit with an 800kg payload.

Does the Hyundai iMax have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

No. The TQ-generation iMax predates smartphone mirroring — it has a 4-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 system with Bluetooth streaming and a USB/iPod input, but no CarPlay or Android Auto integration.
