Car reviews - Hyundai - ix35 - 5-dr wagon range

Overview

Hyundai's ix35 compact SUV delivers more power and safety in an imperfect package

15 Feb 2010

THE plain Jane Tucson is out and the bold new ix35 is in.

Following on from its success with the i30 small car, Hyundai is applying the 'i' badge to its new compact SUV that replaces the Tucson.

A more street-oriented vehicle with less ground clearance and a street savvy design, the new ix35 introduces a new diesel to the range as well as a revised 2.0-litre petrol four and a new 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that replaces the old 2.7-litre V6.

Fuel consumption is down and power is up in all cases.

The six-speed automatic and manual transmissions are new.

Just like the outgoing Tucson, customers have the choice of a price-leading front-drive ix35 or they can step up to the all-wheel-drive model.

Hyundai has thrown a full suite of safety gear at the ix35 which comes standard with electronic stability control and six airbags, including two roof mounted curtain airbags.
Model release date: 1 February 2010 to 1 October 2013
