Detailed analysis of the Hyundai ix35 1.6 GDi 4X2 Tecno · 135 CV (2013)
General description
The 2010 Hyundai ix35 was a turning point for the Korean brand, an SUV that not only offered practicality but also burst onto the scene with a bold design and a quality that began to challenge European manufacturers. This version with a 1.6 GDi 135 hp gasoline engine was positioned as the heart of a range designed for the modern family seeking versatility, space, and a style that broke the mold at the time.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the ix35 conveys a sense of honesty and comfort. Its 135-horsepower naturally aspirated engine moves the vehicle with the necessary ease for daily life, without sporting pretensions. It's a car to be driven calmly, supported by a six-speed manual transmission with a pleasant feel. The suspension, clearly comfort-oriented, effectively absorbs road imperfections, turning every journey into a relaxed and pleasant experience, ideal for family life.
Design and aesthetics
The 'Fluidic Sculpture' design of the ix35 was a true statement of intent. Its fluid lines, hexagonal grille, and sharp headlights gave it a dynamic and attractive personality that marked a before and after for Hyundai. It achieved a perfect balance between the robustness of an SUV and the elegance of a sedan, creating a silhouette that, even a decade later, still looks harmonious and full of character.
Technology and features
For its time, the Tecno trim level provided the ix35 with very complete equipment. Although far from current digital standards, it offered highly valued comfort features such as dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, or parking sensors. The electric power steering and the good soundproofing of the cabin reflected the brand's effort to create a refined and pleasant driving environment.
Competition
The ix35 faced fierce competition in the hot compact SUV segment. Its main adversary was the bestseller Nissan Qashqai, but it also had to compete with its cousin, the Kia Sportage, with which it shared a platform. Other major rivals like the Ford Kuga, Volkswagen Tiguan, or Toyota RAV4 formed a battlefield where the ix35 managed to stand out for its excellent relationship between design, equipment, and price.
Conclusion
The Hyundai ix35 is the embodiment of Hyundai's great leap forward. A vehicle that won hearts with a daring design, a spacious interior, and a reliable and comfortable ride. It is an extremely rational purchase for its reliability and practicality, but with the emotional touch of a design that broke the mold. A loyal, spacious life partner that more than fulfills its duty without asking for anything in return.
