2013 Hyundai ix35 2,0 CRDi 4WD

It is in some vehicles no wonder they are successful only just. Including the Hyundai ix35, which two years ago replaced the Tucson. 2011 placed the ix35, with over 13,000 registrations in 9th place in the segment.

Since early February, Hyundai is in the 4WD versions of the ix35-wheel drive system to the new Dynamax. Reason enough to give us the bestseller times closer look.

2013 Hyundai ix35

Handling

Hyundai ix35 is surprisingly light-footed with only 100 kW (136 hp) on the road. Like about the SUV for a relatively low weight of 1.6 tonnes or even in the modern turbo-diesel from Rüsselsheim. The top speed reached 182 km / h the ix35 problems. In addition, a moderate consumption, in times like these always crucial. Overall, we came equipped with winter tires with the test car for something less than 8 liters per 100 kilometers fuel consumption and at the often very rapid journeys on the motorways in Southern Germany.

Dynamax, the new all-wheel drive of the hyundai ix35 has been developed for WIA Magna Powertrain, a joint venture between Hyundai WIA, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group and Magna Powertrain and produced. The drive provides permanent slip-dependent optimal torque distribution between front and rear axles. With good road conditions, the ix35 road with front-wheel drive when it gets slippery, the power to the rear axle to an electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch.

In practice we impressed with the high stability of the ix35. The unwanted traction forces at the front and the rear axle can be largely prevented by the Dynamax system, which prevents accidental over-or understeer.

Level of equipment

Hyundai is not known to be stingy when it comes to good facilities. Our test car in the middle style version has therefore stand on the special features list only seven options, three of which were built.

Conclusion
Except for the reflective and sunlight-readable as well as non-navigation system (which can be omitted in favor of a mobile device), is at the Hyundai ix35 nothing wrong. The finish is clean, the price is almost unbeatable price and the five-year warranty does the rest to continue the success continues.
