In mid-2013 Hyundai ix35 renewed, an SUV of 4.41 meters in length which went on sale in 2010. There are small changes to the exterior, the interior, the engine range, address and equipment. It is on sale from 19 440 euros.
The engine range consists of a gasoline -1.6 GDI 135 hp-and three -1.7 CRDI Diesel 116 hp and 2.0 CRDI 136 and 184 hp-.Todos are linked to a gearbox six-speed manual, which can be automatically equal number of relationships in diesel versions of 136 and 184 hp. The traction on the front wheels, except the 184 hp diesel version, which has all-wheel drive. Only in the 136 hp diesel version you can choose between front-and all-wheel drive. None has a stop-start system in the arrests.
The 116 hp diesel engine gives very good results for its throttle response and low noise. Perhaps for many users is not necessary to resort to more powerful versions, the 136 PS also for how we liked the power delivery, except if they are constantly circulating steep roads or you want a car that responds forcefully to the accelerator . The gasoline engine of 135 HP responds quickly to pressure on the accelerator pedal, but the answer is little energetic. It works smoothly and quietly, and does not vibrate when driving at low speeds in high gears. The ix35 has a soft suspension and comfortable both on road and off (dirt tracks, for example ). When it is necessary to change course rapidly slow winding roads ix35 reacts less agility than many of its rivals.
Under normal grip AWD system transmits the drive to the front wheels, but when they skate sends part of the engine power to the rear. To the left of the steering wheel there is a button to the rear wheels to rotate integrally with the front and improve traction when driving at low speeds (up to 40 km / h). The AWD system automatically connectable (using a multi-plate clutch) an increase of the mass of 60 kg.
By size-measured 4.41 meters long, 1.82 meters wide and 1.66 meters high, the ix35 is an alternative to models like the Dacia Duster , the Kia Sportage or Nissan Qasqhai . It has a spacious interior, although the width in the second row of seats is less than the average for alternatives. The trunk has a volume of 465 liters and can be expanded by folding down the rear seat backs to 1436 liters. Some models have more trunk are the Volkswagen Tiguan (470 liters), Dacia Duster (475 liters) and SsangYong Korando (486 liters).
There are four trim levels: "Essence", "Klass", "Techno" and "Style". From the most basic level "Essence" (only the petrol engine 135 hp) are standard, among others, the following: climate control, tire pressure sensor, hill start assistant, alloy wheels of 16 inches , spare wheel the same size as the rest, fog lights and audio system with input devices 'USB'. Level "Klass" (only with diesel engines and gasoline 116 hp 135) adds other elements such as rear proximity sensors, heated seats (front and rear), cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. On the level 'Techno' (can be combined with all engines) series wheels are 17 inches and the roof rails and rear view mirrors (interior and left) with auto dimming are also standard. The level "Style" (only can be combined with diesel engines of 136 and 184 hp) adds the navigation system GPS, keyless entry and start, xenon headlights for short and long, 18-inch wheels and an address assisted adjustable in three positions ("FLEX STEER").
The ix35 CRDi 116 hp is available from € 22,490. It's a lower price than a Citroën C4 Aircross HDi 114 hp and a Peugeot 4008 with the same engine (although the latter has all-wheel drive), similar to a Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi 110 hp and more than a Suzuki SX4 S -Cross of 120 hp and a KIA Sportage 1.7 CRDI 116 hp, all with front-wheel drive.
The ix35 CRDi 136 hp with AWD is for sale from 28 250 euros. Several models are comparable with a lower price, such as a Jeep Compass 2.2 CRDi 136 hp, a KIA Sportage 2.0 CRDI 136 hp and Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi 130 hp. Some more expensive models are the Audi Q3 , the BMW X1 and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Headlights and 2013 model pilots do not change shape with respect to the 2010 model, although they have added ledes for some features (not all equipment levels). The model 2013 can be dual-xenon headlights, something that was previously unavailable.
In Diesel engines are a system of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and in certain versions different makes fuel consumption is slightly lower. The suspension has been tweaked to make it more comfortable.
Another novelty is the steering with a device ("FLEX STEER") that modifies the response based on three programs: "Normal", "Comfort" and "Sport". This address is only available with the highest level of equipment "Style". It is an element that have other Hyundai models, such as the i30 .
